Not to be mistaken for “Murder on the Dance Floor” – in fact, it’s quite the opposite of that Sophie Ellis-Bextor hit. Instead of slaying the dance floor with someone, some just simply avoid someone altogether. Here’s the thing: you, me, we all have our prejudices. Whether it’s about someone’s dance ability, height, “academy” affiliation,…

What’s Good on the SBK Scene?
It’s not all disrespect and ego battles on Cape Town’s dance floors. Believe it or not, there are some bright spots – and I’m not just talking about the disco lights. Cape Town’s SBK (Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba) scene does have its moments, especially when you consider the venues. Let’s face it, we’ve got some pretty…
And So, We Are Aware
It’s telling isn’t it? My recent posts on the Cape Town SBK scene seem to have stirred the dance floor in both delightful and… uhh, less-than-delightful ways. Let’s start with the bad, shall we?

About Ginga…
We all have Ginga, it just depends how we use it, or what we use it for. Some guys have loads of it when it comes to playing football, others are good poets, some ladies show it when they walk and a few people in the way they dress. Ginga, it is skill, it is…
Listen To Find That Release
I have absolute admiration for the dance instructors I’ve come to know. Their passion requires them to be frustrated on a daily basis. How many of us experience frustration daily? Did you choose it? How many do a job for the sole purpose of fun? According to Facebook, I know about 20 dance instructors from…
Let’s Be Real To Our Women
There are many good reasons why a man would abuse a woman, whether it’s emotional, physical or psychological, he always has a good reason to let her know who the boss is. “I backhanded that bitch,” a former friend once said about how he disciplined his wife for smiling with another guy one time too…
