I hope everybody had a great time trying to do every dance in the short jamming list.
Many thanks to the Thiens and Ivy for organising the event, the dancers Janet,Amanda,Mrs Thien,Ivy for the electryfying samba "Where Is The Love"
My heartfelt thanks  to Annie Wong for requesting the dance "Zhang Sheng" to add a beautiful finish to the evening of dance and fellowship . And also Thanks to everyone for turning up to make the party a success. It would have been more FUN if all our absentee dancers were with us too.
