Friday 22 May 2009

Special pre bootcamp party night with DJ's Barry G and Big Andy

Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May

Edie's World Famous TWO DAY BOOTCAMP!!

Plus Special Guest - Peter Fige

Peter Fige was born in Hungary. At the moment he lives and teaches in Munich, Germany. His philosophy is that dancing is not simply executing patterns and shines. It is creating a unique choreography on the dance floor, with the creative help of his partner and the music.

"Peter has the capability of playing with the hits and breaks of the music without ever interrupting the follower. His spontaneous choreography during partner work is literally "One with the Music". Peter becomes the artist's brush, palette, and frame, painting the beautiful picture with his movements and direction. His leading technique and style is astounding."
- Edie, the Salsa FREAK

Peter has been teaching styling, partnerwork and musicality at several congresses, among others at the Salsa Festival Regensburg and Bremen, Summer Salsa Festival Brussels. He has been teaching intensive workshops in Hungary, Germany, Romania

Saturday Evening Party With Special Guest - DJ Lubi

Lubi Jovanovic aka DJ Lubi, is probably the best known UK salsa DJ on the international scene, both from his performances at festivals and congresses across the world to his CD compilation work. He first spun mambos and descargas in jazz clubs in the North of England in 1982 before progressing to full-time salsa DJ in 1985. Since then he has played in clubs, festivals and congresses across the globe, including Los Angeles, Gran Canaria, Amsterdam, Spain, Portugual, Dublin, Prague, Serbia, Denmark, Latvia, Turkey, Greece and Singapore! His musical taste stretches from classic 1960s guaguancos to 1970s salsa dura, instrumental mambo/latin jazz to Cuban timba. He also likes reggaeton and Cuban hiphop but if asked to choose a favourite genre, it would have to be Puerto Rican salsa from the 1970s to the present day – a kicking campana, smooth tumbao, tight brass and strong sonero! Its all about the swing!

A second career which has him recognised across the globe is CD compiler. He has produced over 35 titles since 2003 for the following labels : Fania – Nascente – World Music Network – Freestyle – V2 Music – Protel/Emusica – V2 TV. These include “Beginners Guide To Salsa” (Nascente 2003), the biggest selling UK salsa compilation CD of all time with over 60,000 sales, and also the highly rates “NYC Salsa” series for Fania Records, with “Volume 3” released summer 2008 to great acclaim.

With over 25 years in the latin music business, you know you get quality and dedication from DJ Lubi, be it as a guest DJ or CD compiler. Its all about the love of music and good taste.

Edies bootcamps are a Grrrrreat way to meet new people!

Musicality:

How the STORY of the music is INTERPRETED by the body or bodies in motion
The quality or condition of being musical
Musical sensitivity or talent
Tuneful, dulcet, sweet, lyric

"Becoming a Musicalist is one of the highest levels you can reach in Salsa social dancing. One of the most fantastic things about this new level of dancing is the ability to create beautiful choreography on the spot... with someone you don't even know."
Edie, The Salsa FREAK
