Launch Party For Copperlily Nightclub + Kings Cross Hotel
Finally the doors are about to swing open after a massive refurbishment!
So to celebrate the moment, Kings Cross Hotel are throwing an amazingly huge party this Saturday. On the night you'll find LIVE sets from FLAMINGO CRASH, THE JEZEBELS and CATCALL and DJ Sets from PURPLE SNEAKERS DJS, KATO, SPRUCE LEE, JOHNNY RAD, HOT DAMN DJS, THA FIZZ, U GO B, CASSETTE, HEALTH CLUB DJS and NUDE DJS. And as if that wasn't fantastic enough it's FREE!! That's right, it won't cost you a dime to get through those doors. Nada! Zip! Zilch! So that means more money for drinks (and that taxi ride home because you'll be out way too late for public transport). So what does this new renevation include....well hold onto your hats folks because there is now 5 levels, bars, balconies, a stage, a 2 story nightclub and a 24hr bar. You need to get down there and explore!

This week Boundary Bonds With....Caroline Garcia, Dancer/Teacher/Manager of Dance Central
You dance & teach "Dancehall" at Dance Central. Tell us about that...
The first time I discovered Dancehall, I was instantly addicted. About 3 years back, I found a class at Dance Central, taught by Maya Martinez called 'Afro Contemporary Dancehall'. It was a fusion of African dance, Contemporary Ballet and Jamaican Dancehall. Learning Dancehall was completely refreshing and out of this world for me. From training with Maya, dancing for hours on a weekly basis (taking classes, rehearsing and performing), I've consistently exposed myself to as much Dancehall as I can. Being obsessed with Dancehall for years only recently progressed to teaching classes.
Can everyone dance Dancehall?
Sure, if you're prepared to get loose. You can't be scared to get low, pop some serious booty, wind & grind to the beats, shake everything you got and even hump a thing or two on the way. You'll never see life the same way and you'll hurt like a mofo ‘til next week's class. Feel free to sport some door knocker earrings, head wraps and the freshest sneakers on the block.
Where can we catch you perform/teach next?
Well, Dance Central's hottest dance show TOUR DE DANCE is on Sat 6th Sept at Manning Bar. There'll be the freshest Hip Hop, Dancehall (this is where I come in), Bollywood, Burlesque, Tahitian, Latin and House routines on show as well as live Brazilian drumming and some of Sydney's finest DJ's Jimmy Sing and Kavi-R. Or to kick off a Dancehall Queen career, try a Dancehall basics class on Thurs at 5.30pm at Dance Central and then the Open class at 6.30pm once your groove is established.
Also I'm going to start a class at Dance Studio 101. The studio is amazing and teaches genres that are really hard to find in Sydney like Reggaeton, West Afro, Cuban Salsa and Afro Contemporary. My class will be a mix of everything booty to some of the hottest beats and bass lines your ears will ever hear!
