natasha's birthday salsa

my good friend, and kaberks Natasha celebrated her birthday with a salsa party (with a red and black theme).

alot of people came in black and red,but there were a few who came in with whatever they had..

natasha's birthday was actually on the 8th of september, but she celebrated on the 11th..

because i was in so rush, coming from work, on friday traffic, and rushing home to talk to Jojo and greet him (again!) for his birthday, shower and dry my hair, put my make up, and pick up friends, i forgot my DSLR at home. i was kicking myself when i realised, but later on, it was a blessing in disguise as i couldnt leave it on the table when everyone was dancing to salsa tunes.


my friends always have very creative birthdays..and they do sure know how to make their birthdays a worthwhile experience.

the party started with a two-hour of dance instruction from the instructor, and then a little freestyle..then dinner, then dancing again...

it was a party too difficult to duplicate but a possibility to try again..

salsa buffs, we have become after this night..

here are some photos thats been sitting on the computer begging to be shared.
