Latin Utopia Salsa & Bachata Party Jean-Luc's Birthday

All Salsa and Bachata dancers are invited and encouraged to join us for another Latin Utopia party at Dance Culture's air-conditioned studio in Annerley, Brisbane. This edition of Latin Utopia is a particularly special one: Our friend Jean-Luc Lambs, also known in Australia as The Voice of Latin Dance, has been a champion of the Latin dance scene for more than 12 years. As the organiser of the weekly Sunday Salsa Seduction at Jade Buddha (formerly Casablanca) and of the world-famous Doudoule Latin Dance Festival, he has won the hearts of the Latin dance community and helped the careers of many Latin dance professionals. It is our great honour to throw Jean-Luc a birthday party this year on the day of this birthday surrounded by his local Latin dance friends. ** Party Schedule ** Doors open at 6:30pm.
