Thursday 9th March
This Week Frank Santos brings you an hour of Bachata and 30mins of
Rumba Guaguanco
Rumba Guaguanco is danced by couples and is characterized by its risque sensual
content. Sometimes its movements are compared to those of a rooster courting
a hen. The man relentlessly pursues the woman, strutting around with his chest
poked out as if he were puffing out feathers. The woman pretends she is disinterested
at first, but is eventually attracted to the man and permits him to get close.
In essence, he attempts to consummate the courtship by thrusting his hand, foot,
or pelvis towards the woman in the gesture known as the vacunao. The woman attempts
to resist the vacunao by covering her pelvic area while maintaining the rhythm
and flow of the dance. If he succeeds without being blocked, he is the better
dancer. If she succeeds in eluding him, she is the better dancer! (c/o lpmusic.com)

link
From Camden tube (6 mins walk max.)
At the top of the escalators turn right onto Chalk farm Rd. Go over the canal
and under the blue railway bridge. The stables entrance is the second entrance
on the left.
From Chalk Farm tube
Turn left as you leave the station and walk straight down Chalk Farm Rd. The
entrance is on your right with “The Stables” written across the
arch.
Parking. The are many meters and Pay and display bays available on the Chalk
Farm side of Market. Unfortunately the Morrison’s car park closes at 9pm
I have yet to check out if it remains unlocked. Nobody has mentioned
parking problems so I think it's easier than most places.
