We had a massive crowd down at Bar Salsa on Wednesday to help us launch The London LatinFest Salsa Championships and to witness the 4 brave amateur couples who took part in this launch heat. The standard of dancing was superb which made it hard for the judges on the night (Laith Sami, Lanre Ajani & Natalie Baltao) to come the final decision about the winning couple who were - Dominic Blaquiere and Mary Sirine.

This first winning couple go through to the "Semi finals" on Saturday 25 August at THE LONDON LATINFEST where they will be joined by the other 15 couples from across the country.

We hope to see many more of you down at SCALA to support the competitors in the next heat
