2020-03-06: Que Rico Salsa Party at White Eagle Club Balham!

On: By: Philip Wake
Miguel Mayana runs this salsa event in Balham at the White Eagle Club (aka Hamilton House) on the first Friday of every month. It is a welcome rebirth of the Que Rico event which used to run on the 2nd Friday of each month at The Bedford in Balham last year until it had to be closed for refurbishment. This venue has a luxurious ballroom for salsa dancing - big enough for 500 dancers I'd say. The bachata area is quite small but adequate for those who prefer sideways salsa! 😉 The ballroom has air Read more [...]

Miguel Mayana resumed his monthly salsa event in Balham at the White Eagle Club (aka Hamilton House) in February.

I particularly enjoyed dancing with the glamorous blond from Bulgaria - I had many outrageous dances with this little ball of fire! As I was leaving I bumped into her outside and hug/kissed her goodbye and then her boyfriend did the same to me saying: "Respect!" 🙂 ❤

Dennis Dales' music tonight was excellent - he made me want to dance to every track!

Hi Miguel - great evening but I thought I'd better let you know what I discovered about the air conditioning.

He reported back later that management refused to turn on the air conditioners in the main room because Read more [...]
