We want to take a moment to give a shoutout to two amazing women in our studio who recieved incredible awards at the Sunday night showcase of the World Salsa Solos in Brisbane!!
Our director Donna Frost was presented with an Award of Excellence in recognition of her contribution to the Latin dance scene in Australia and New Zealand. This is an amazing accolade for the work Donna has done over the past 30+ years in the industry as was (in our humble opinion) so well deserved❤️❤️
Not to be outdone, Natasha Frost then went on to win the prestigious Professional Female Salsa Solo's section (in addition to having already won the Professional Bachata Solos) cementing her place as one of Australasia's top soloists 🔥🔥
We are so incredibly lucky to have these dedicated professionals in our dance scene!!!
More results from the WSS coming soon!!!
