Salsa in Malaysia: Salsa Social Dance Venues
Here’s a compilation of venues to go when you are looking for a place to dance salsa. These are venues that I personally know of so if there’s any other places that is hosting any Salsa Social parties on the days I’ve not stated down, please let me know.

Christmas 2010 Salsa Social
It’s been 2 years since I seriously celebrated Christmas and I thought this year will be the same, staying home, sleeping early and just bumming around the house on Christmas day. Well, that didn’t really happen as the week was spend going from place to place for some Salsa Social.
Even though the community of salsa dancers is still small, I would say it is growing rapidly with more new faces appearing at the clubs every day. In KL, the Christmas celebration started from Wednesday at Aliyaa til Sunday at Shivz with tunes ranging from salsa to bachata and the occasional zouk tunes. (more…)
A Week After I Got Smashed In
It’s been a week since I last got smashed in after Paradiso and on the Friday when I went for my usual Friday Night Salsa, a lot of people there came up to me and ask me whether I felt odd going dancing there knowing that it was after Paradiso that I was attacked.
To me, shit happens, I don’t want to think about it, don’t want to dwell about it. The best thing to do is move on with life. Right? Only qualm I had was that my right hand’s still in pain. It’s a tad hard for me to lead a girl in dance when it’s hard for me to raise my hand up or twirl a girl (cause I need to use my wrist to spin the girl). (more…)
I wanna Watch Step-Up 3D!
Ain’t no hip hop dancer and won’t claim that I’m a bloody good dancer too but one thing for sure is I love Dance related movies, yup, any movies related to dance, I’ve watched them at least 3 – 4 times over. Step Up and Step Up 2, I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve watched those. Now with Step-Up 3D, Definitely a MUST Watch for me. So Yeah! I want to watch it real bad! (more…)
