Director and co-ordinator, Jose Gonzalez, said: “There will be male and female certified dance instructors.”

Volkr Wacker had been invited to the evening’s activities. “I’ve done ballroom dancing before, but it might be nice to start again,” he said.

Esmeralda Roberts, from Panama said: “This is a great time to support the school. I like merengue; I like the salsa; rumba, everything.”
