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.
(all photos taken by the canon g10)
pre dancing jitters..lauren and tash waiting for the dance instructor
eve and cheryl enjoying a laugh...the bday girl
dont be fooled by the makeup and the smile..i was ready to crash and snore
glen, lionel and cheryl...(trivia: lionel is the labor attache of South Africa to european union...but he's so down to earth and so cool, he danced too! =)
oh, you should have seen me in my red shoes...i felt tall and graceful that night..
the insructor telling them about the dance
instructor..instructing..
guests guests guests...
the birthday girl getting extra time with the instructor
lionel with another dancer...the gang enjoying the night
more dancing...
me flanked by men i admire and respect..=)
the night came like a blur
men...talking politics,and global warming..
food was in order for more dancing next...
