Under the guidance of DJ and dance teacher Thomas Melendez there was Salsa, Tango, Jive Dancing, Belly dancing, Bachatta and Regaeton dancing to the infectious beat of disco, bongos and maracas at the Brewery last Saturday. Crowds of people gathered to watch, with some even joining in the fun. With a bouncy castle and free face painting for kids it was great fun for all ages.
