October Salsa Fest Friday Performances

I took the chance last week to attend the October Salsa Fest which was held at the Smooth Latin Groove studio on Friday. It was a great location to whole a latin dance party with heaps of space to dance and was the music top notch. Hats off to Khosro and Carlos for the great music that kept dancers on the floor and pulling out not only fancy but also smooth moves. The main highlight of the night was definitely the performances that were lined up, fantastic choice for the welcoming night.
Josh and Mandy from Latin Steps started off the night with a salsa routine. Let me tell you this, Josh and Mandy have only been dancing for less than 6 months, 2 months before the Sydney Salsa Classic. It is definitely not an easy task to be able to perform as a solo couple but with the help of Carlos and Elli, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Followed by Alan and Lil Liz from LDA Sydney performing an impromptu Zouk performance. I covered their performance during the LDA Ball 2008 and their performances are not something I tire of easily. Its simply amazing how to see the connection between them. You just gotta see it for yourself (probably can find something on youtube) in person.
If there is one thing I admire, it is definitely Becky’s never ending legs(not because I want a pair of legs like hers). This is the third time I have covered a performance by Fernando and Becky, the first being my first ever paid gig(and boy, did i screw that up, lucky i was backup). They are totally (Salsa) Suave!(smooth in english) with Becky’s never ending legs and style mixed with Fernando’s smoothness, this is the kind of couple you look forward to at every shoot!
By the way, you can view the rest of the performance pictures that I took on Friday and Sunday performance nights on my Flickr.
