What a great event this is. I get to catch up with my photographer friends and get to catch up with my dancing friends.
It goes without saying the outfits are spectacular and really are a treat. The event does for today and tomorrow so if you are interested in ballroom and Latin dancing you really need to come out and check out the action..
Here are just a couple of the shots from the event hot off the floor… 🙂

Well fresh off the plane and what seemed like just the other day I was in New Zealand Photographing the New Zealand Salsa Congress, I am off to Sydney this weekend to cover the Australian Salsa Open, boy and I cant wait!!!!
I get to catch up with some friends and meet a whole heap of new ones… and the event is going to be a blast.
I had the opportunity in meeting Krin who is the organizer for the Australian Salsa Open while I was in New Zealand at the congress. Krin was over there as one of the instructors and I must say, what I super nice guy.
We got talking and one thing lead to another, he got to see me work first hand and see my work and now I am off to Sydney for 3 days.
Another hotel booking and another trip away to see more of the amazing dancers that this country has to offer. YEAH…
Now for anyone that knows me in the dancing circles I don’t know how to dance. Not that I don’t want to learn how to dance it is just that I don’t know how to dance.
I would really like to learn how to dance and while in New Zealand I came across a dance studio out of Auckland that would help me… Viva Dance Studios…. How did I come across and studio that would help me show me how to dance in Auckland… Easy…. The director of the New Zealand Salas Congress Saione Greer is also the director of Viva Dance Studios.
He is one of the nicest blokes you could meet… He is out to help everyone and even though he is a busy man has time for everyone… Which to me in my business is a nice change?
The students from Viva Dance Studios are also a pleasure… and watching them perform was also a sight to be seen.
Most Aussies dance like me I am sure…. Beer in one hand and no interest in the other…. but I must say when you see these guys crack off a move you just wish you could be part of that….. and the reality is that if you live in Auckland you can…. Learning how to dance in Auckland is just as easy as calling up any one of the dance studios but I must say given my experience you should give Viva Dance Studio the first go. Not because their students put on a show at the New Zealand Salsa Congress and not because they are located in New Zealand’s biggest city but because they are just nice people.. My time spent in New Zealand was sooo much better thanks Saione Greer hospitality and for that I thank him.
