Gran Fiesta Latina in Waaiberg

This Saturday, September 29th, there’ll be another edition of the Gran Fiesta Latina in Waaiberg (in front of sports centre KULeuven, Delhaize, GB). People usually start to arrive around 11pm … Very primitive dance floor and setting in general but normally there’s a nice atmosphere in these parties.

first practise moment in Sportoase

Great first ‘practise afternoon’ (to my opinion of course) in a wonderful dance hall in Sportoase. A good idea i think, we should do this more … Good way also to meet people in a purely ‘dance environment’ (not in a bar i mean), good for beginning dancers to overcom shyness …
