About this Event

The Porirua Club loved us so much the first time it has invited CubanFusion - Wellington's Cuban Salsa Specialists and Madera Fina back, but this time as a Trio, featuring Roberto Rodriguez on guitar and vocals, Rafael Ferrer Noel on percussion and vocals (and he's also DJing and teaching the class), and Bernard Wells on guitar and flute. Here's the Club's website so you know what to expect and what building to look for: http://www.poriruaclub.co.nz As it is a Social Club, there are some things you need to be aware of. As this is a members night you are an invited guest of the Salsa Club and will need to sign in at the main bar when you arrive and be "stamped". All names will automatically be entered in raffle, which will be drawn during the night, so remember to write your name clearly! NB: Club licencing conditions require all guests to be 18 or older. So if you have young ones like us, book your sitter now! NB: The front door is locked at 8pm so if you arrive after that use the intercom and say that you are there for the Salsa event. There’s loads of parking nearby I am told and a lovely paquet dance floor and as I said before a prize draw.. and its all free thanks to the generosity of the Porirua Club and their Salsa Club. So please do remember to show your appreciation by supporting them in return. Having said that, we realise that this will be a Road Trip for most of you so we'd encourage you to car pool and elect a designated driver before you leave Wellington! Their restaurant - The Eastwood Bistro - is open from 5pm - 9pm. You can check out the menu, which looks rather nice, here: http://www.wellingtoncatering.co.nz/main-menu The night is aimed at a range of people – dancers and non-dancers.. and will run a bit like this: 7.30pm - Welcome/Party starts 8.00pm - Introductory Salsa Lesson 8.45pm - Cuban Trio - Madera Fina 9.30pm - Prize Draw 9.45pm - Cuban Trio - Madera Fina 10.30pm - DJ Timba Cubana a.k.a.
