Woot! Thx Justin... i know i can depend on you..

hahah:) this week has been exciting... been dancing every single day since Tue

My friends and I visited 2 new places so thought i will share with you guys my personal experience.

Wed@Thumper--> i find it a real disappointment. I was there for less than 10minutes and we headed back to Union manz... The whole place is not exactly big to start with, so not much space for ppl to seat or stand around to 'watch' ppl dancing. The dancefloor which is already very small has a platform right in the middle for pole dancing used... hahahaha yup, pole dancing. Not just these, the sound system sucks and the whole ambience sucks sucks sucks!!! kekekeke... ok ok, all these my personal opinion, feel free to go check it out yourself.

For me, i wont be going there again


Thur@Fuego--> woot! I love this place. Fuego is not a big place too. But the ambience is nice and cozy... what i like most is their dance floor... smoother than a baby's bum hahahahaha... but really, they have excellent dance floor for turnings/spinnings and a full length mirror for ladies to check on their styling.... more bachata music than Union but DJ is nice enough to cater to your preference whenever he can... apparently, they have instructors around to guide you and even dance with you... that is really a plus, every extra guidance is precious to me

For those who wants to have good place for practice or trying out new moves, Fuego will be ideal. Be there early as drinks can be expensive after Happy Hours.

Thats all I have for you guys.

Cheerios

Please note that with immediate effect, Hardrock Cafe would no longer be continuing it's salsa nights.
