The Bangkok Salsa Fiesta 2007 was organized by salsabangkok.com (The Bangkok Salsa Community) headed by P'Apple,P'Roj,Josci,Keng and others with the idea of promoting latin dance in Bangkok. It was a four day Salsa event from 27-30 September 2007 carefully planned and executed making it memorable for everyone.The event kicked off with the Salsa party at La Rueda (oldest Latin Pub in Bangkok). Small though it is….its the haunt of every latin lover on a Thursday night during the party there was a demo of things to come on Friday (Performance Night). This truly lived up to everyones expectation with stunning performances by artists from USA, Indonesia, Singapore,India and Thailand (home country)
The dances include Tango,BellyDance,Salsa(which of course had maximum performances) and even Bollywood
Saturday night was the night which quite a few people were waiting for including myself. The night of the 1st "Social Dance competition" in Bangkok. It promised to be a fun filled night which would include some performances too after the competition followed by dancing to DJ Henry Knowles one of the best Dj's in the world.
The competition began at around 8.30 and comprised of 3 rounds - After the first round of 2 songs 6 couples were chosen out of 10 and after the second round (two more songs) another 3 were dropped leaving 3 couples for the final - one song. It was a very interesting and exciting competition.
My dance partner Maria and myself won the prize as 'Havanna's favourite couple'
