If it was hot and steamy outside Friday night, it was a whole lot steamier inside 6 Degrees Lounge as GoDanceMambo's 1st Chocolate Salsa Pleasure Party launched summer and all of her delights.
All of the senses tingled as guests were greeted by bustier and fishnet stocking'd ladies bearing lush strawberries and whipping cream. The eye caught flesh - shoulders, legs, decolletage - lots of it! Feathers from boas were scattered about. And gallant very elegently dressed men were standing by.
After Melanie's Hip Hop Electric Slide and salsa lesson, Hostess Natrasha Paponutski strode across the stage and opened the evening's fun and frolic with MamboDreamTeam's kicking off the entertainment in a sexy frothy rainbow of Copa Cabana.
Guests then busied themselves in dancing, dipping lush strawberries into the Chocolate Fountain and feasting on chocolate mousses. The braver ones spun and writhed on Laura Furtado's pole, while others watched Dorota create a mural - using a handsome man's body as a canvas.
A woman, clad only in a Dorota creation wandered through the crowd with a bowl of strawberries and whipping cream - tempting both the eye and the palette.
Dorticos Productions' - Eduardo brought a touch of Cirque d'Soleil with sensual but extremely challenging contemporary movement.
Then Eduardo introduced Sara Scheunhage Sara and her spectacular red aerial sash show - twisting, tumbling, floating high over the 6 Degrees floor.
Can you spell flirt? Flirt was spelled L A U R A with Laura Furtado and her bumpin' and grindin' Moulin Rouge Cabaret show that had them panting for more.
Team Ryouko exploded on the floor with an onslaught of moves seen in Jet Li Movies climaxing in a mass flip.
Eduardo took to the air - rolling and tumbling using a pair of straps.
Mambo Dream Team's "Fatso" brought the battle between the sexes to a whole new and colorful level, finishing the evening's entertainment in a cacaphony of color.
Hostess Natrasha introduced Stephanie who thanked everyone for experiencing the evening. Draws for prizes ranging from Canada Salsa Congress passes drawn by Jennifer Aucoin, to the cruise drawn by Walter Mavyuk President Best Vacations Media, and a pass to the New York Salsa Congress.
DJ MAS and guest DJ Montuno from Montreal had them dancing the rest of the night away, the heat inside driving away the rain outside.
