ANTONIO VARGAS @ WhiteRoom Bilique this SUNDAY!!

Filed Under Salsa

Taken from Mambochinita…

We have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST in town this weekend and he will be coming to The WhikeRoom Bilique tomorrow night!

Antonio Vargas, one of the grandmasters of SPANISH FLAMENCO will be dropping by to chill at our Sunday social while on holiday in KL. Senor Vargas has an impressive resume that spans a couple of decades. He is also a pioneer in the field of Flamenco dance theatre and has traveled and performed extensively around the world, changing the lives of those who perform with him. Being in high demand, this man has also choreographed for movies like Strictly Ballroom & Mission Impossible (just to name a few). I highly recommend catching him if you can….great people like this are hard to meet in Malaysia!

Now you may say, so HOW IS THIS RELATED TO SALSA? Salsa & Latin America are linked to Spain…..and one of the national dances in Spain is…yep Flamenco! In addition, the posture, poise, grace, expression and level of mastery will surely INSPIRE you to be a better dancer! (whether its socially or as a performer)

Besides, Senor Vargas will be indulging us in a brief intro to Flamenco and an impromptu performance. I was told it will happen around 10:30pm+

Really, you don’t want to MISS this opportunity! To dance is to live!

Dance is the hidden language of the soul. ~Martha Graham

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself. ~Havelock Ellis

For those of you who hasn’t and have plans to attend, here’s some good news. If you are planning to attend only the Saturday afternoon workshop + Beach Party, we have a promotional package of RM800 (single room) and RM600 (twin sharing) with a 1 night stay at the hotel. So you can party like crazy and then just sleep over and head back to KL on Sunday after checking out at 12pm.

Have you registered your participation yet? If not, write to me and we’ll arrange for you now! My email’s zique76 [at] hotmail.com
