Teesside Latin Dance Festival III
Recently heard this track on Spotify and figured it’d make a great Kizomba mix. Let me know what you think 
Was talking to a good friend a few days ago when she mentioned she’d been listening to Rihanna’s “Te Amo”, adding that she thought it’d make a good kizomba track. Well the fingers got working & a few hours later this little remix had made it’s way onto her hard drive.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Teesside Latin Dance Festival number 2…what can I say, absolute blast. The classes were fantastic, the people sublime, but the evening party was just incredible! So great to see so many people out from all over the UK dancing to some awesome tunes throughout the night.
So there I was the other day, thinking about this very topic – what are my favourite tracks? It’s a really tough decision to make as there are a number of different perspectives I could choose from and literally hundreds of different tunes! For instance there are those that I love as a DJ because they get people moving, similarly there are tracks that I love to dance to as they just make you want to dance, but there are also tracks I just love to relax and listen to.
I still don’t really know my favourite tracks, but seeing as this is my DJ site I thought I’d list 10 tracks that will nearly always get people dancing whenever I play them. What are your favourite tracks that you love hearing when on the dance floor? What gets you moving??
Moving to Newcastle in 2006 to start my University career, I was pulled into salsa by a couple of my new found friends; I started salsa’ing in 2007, performed in London in 2008 and started DJing for salsa events in September 2009. I haven’t stopped dancing since!
My huge passion for latin music means that not only do I love what I do, but I also love watching other people enjoy the music I play. With no bias to a particular genre I give the crowd what they want, whether that’s a particular kind of salsa, bachata, kizomba, reggaeton, zouk, cha cha, or merengue, you’re guaranteed to see as much dancing time as possible.
I’m looking forward to meeting many new salsa lovers over the next couple of years as I expand my services across the country.
