Can we dance? Latin Social Group - August
Monday, August 4th, 2008By Derek Butler
It is true to say that in this country the words “Can we dance” can strike abject fear into any man’s heart.
I mean: dance? Let’s just say that for most men these days, the potential for complete embarrassment is not just tangible, it’s real!
However, as a recent Friday night experience in Hervey Bay showed, real men need not suffer dance phobia in the slightest!
I was invited along by a friend who recently started dance classes with a new dance school in Hervey Bay which specialises in Latin and ballroom …
Grupo Latino Inc., a local cultural organisation promoting “all things Latin” host a social event commencing 7.00 pm (or thereabouts!) the first Friday night of every month at Soul-Sa Restaurant and Bar, Scarness, Hervey Bay. Here, you can listen to infectious Latin rhythms, enjoy a drink and savour great food all at once. Not to mention the ever enthusiastic restaurant and bar staff, especially Robyn and Steve who are always ready with a joke and a smile.
The Grupo Latino members are happy to give a short free dance lesson to people who join in. And the many enthusiastic dancers who attend do enjoy themselves!
Things being what they are, at these evenings, dancing happens sooner or later! I’m now hooked. My two left feet are on their way to being tamed. I’m having a ball - and dealing with my dance phobia at the same time.
So, see you there – or on the dance floor!
