Salsajay in Genting

Filed under: Dance


View from the Hotel Room no. 15 955 (First World Hotel)

Christmas Eve, while the world rest in slumber in preparation for the Christmas Eve party, the Salsajayers made their way up to Genting Highlands to have a bit of fun and celebration as well. One of the purpose for the trip is because of the salsa performance after the Teresa Carpio showcase as a lead-up to the final countdown to Christmas.


The Christmas Deco in front of the Genting Hotel

The Teresa Carpio concert were to start at 7pm and the Salsa performance was to start at 11pm and with that in mind. There’s a bit of time to go for dinner and to camwhore a bit. Yes, that’s what we did. The whole Salsajay entourage congragate together at Genting Hotel for dinner at 7.30 after everyone freshen up from the trip and from there. We head on over to the Bakery to while the time away. Looking at the various Christmas decoration, we just had to get it all on camera as a remembrance. Right?

About 9ish, those of us that’s not dressed decide to go back to the room to change and for those of us that have changed, decide to head over to the Genting International Convention Center to watch The Teresa Carpio’s concert while waiting for the cue to get ready. I wrote about that concert at my previous post so please scroll down.


Rueda de Casino

The first performance was the Rueda De Casino with 6 couples performance. It was an excellent show piece.


Zhang  Zhen Hong andJeamie

Next up was the  Zhang Zhen Hong and Jeamie performing a Salsa piece that looks ever so good. Loads of tricks and spins that really got the crowd cheering.


Fahmi and partner

That performance was followed through by Fahmi and his partner performing the Wawanko. After that performance, the organizer had a change of plans and decide to cancel the last three performance which includes a Bachata number, a Merenggue number as well as Zhang Zhen Hong’s performance (accompanied by a Rhumba dance).


The Live Band

With that change of plans, the live band was ushered up to perform for the audience and we had to go and invite the audience up to the dance floor to dance. Mostly Latin dance numbers and boy, can some of those aunties and uncles dance.


The Party!

With less than a minute to midnight, the music stops and the crowd start gathering in front of the stage for the countdown. I suspect all these people are practicing for the coming New Year countdown cause they rocked the house down with the shouting. emoticon


Taking a break from all those dancing… and camwhoring emoticon

More dancing and partying continues after the countdown and around 1am, we were told to have our party cut short and was ushered out of the GICC. Our group then went off towards our Supper before more partying continues in the hotel room. What happened at the party? emoticon Can’t reveal here.


We were in Paris, wish you were here. emoticon

Anyway, bout 11ish the next morning, we were told to get ready for check out and by 12pm, we were all gathered at the lobby of the hotel deciding where to go for our brunch/lunch. The food we had? Those are another story. But if you can look here for the photos taken through the two days we were there.
