Simply Swing’s Strictly Ballroom Band

Another great night at the Belvedere last night when the band performed a Strictly Ballroom Dance Night. We played EVERYTHING in the perfect ballroom and latin american dance tempos solely for dancing. The band included Steve, Sandra, Simon, Rob and our time man – Jeff. The evening featured a latin american dancing cabaret from Ryan and Robyn Marsh who did a great job in demonstrating the Jive, Cha Cha, Samba and Rhumba. Once again, the evening was filmed by Iain (who’s quickly becoming our resident video man!) and the video should be live on YouTube in the next few weeks. We’ll keep you posted.
