Latino Rhythms in Full Swing

Livin La Vida Loca!

Living the crazy life! I guess that is what made us start Latino Rhythms. From a group of ten people who started practising for an office performance to a dance school with over 1500 students and all that in a span of two years!
But now the time has come to grow further. To integrate all our students and members who have made Latino Rhythms into a vibrant dance community on the map of Bangalore, we are launching our brand new blog to increase participation among all of us. This blog is yours. We want you to actively participate, share your thoughts, your anecdotes, your comments, your videos and your pictures that are associated with Latino Rhythms or dancing to make our community even more thriving.
Send your stuff to latino.rhythms@gmail.com and we ensure you that we will publish them on this blog with your picture and name.
This blog will keep you updated about our ongoing events, parties and will serve as a melting pot of all our experiences associated with dancing. We will also be adding the most popular dance blogs and sites of the world to our blog so that you can visit these sites as well. So let the budding writer, photographer, editor and cinematographer in you come to life. Contribute and make this blog a grand success because this blog is yours and we want to hear from you. Lets make this the best dance blog of the world.
Happy Blogging

Competition Fever Hots Up


The word's out on the street and the fever is rising! And to our delight we have even got sponsors now clamouring for attention. For the first time, in an in-house event we have got three principle sponsors who are partnering us in our 2nd anniversary party/ jive competition. Platinum Bodies has gracefully consented to be our fitness partner, Sphaira has agreed on being our venue partner and Albatross Tours and Travels are now our official travel partners. Not only that, they are giving out some amazing freebies to participants and winners of this jive competition. For all particpants Platinum Bodies is offering a 25 % discount voucher for membership in their gym. Albatross Tours and Travels is sponsoring our winners prize and Sphaira is sponsoring in a way that has enabled us to create this as an evening where there are no entry charges. Winners of the competiton along with the cash prize of INR 5000, the winners trophy and the certificate are also getting one month's worth free membership from Platinum Bodies.
It is seldom that such prizes are offered by a dance academy( here in Bangalore). But we are not like other dance schools. We care for our students and our members and we want to provide them with the enthusiasm they need to learn their skills better. We want to provide them with the confidence to dance in front of a crowd and perform gracefully. The main aim of the competition is to do that. We don't believe in just taking fees from our students. If they are good, then we give it back to them as well.
