If Maria can make me- a man with no rhythm, two left feet and zero dance ability make my new wife proud if front of all our friends and family- she's achieved no small feat! We gave her our song and she created a dance that was so much fun and rally got the party started. Thanks very much Maria- I never thought I'd do dance lessons in my life- not only did I have a ball, I'm a little chuffed with our final product!

Spin City is a dance school specialising in Latin style dances like salsa, bachata, mambo, and…read morezouk. They also hold a weekly Zumba exercise class, which I'm amazed to have attended twice. I say 'amazed' because the first time I did the class, I swore I would never go back there nor do Zumba again. A friend had attended the class with me and we promised each other afterwards that we would never speak of nor tell anyone about the things we did in that class. Oh the shame. That's why I still can't believe I went back. It's pointless to get into the reasons why I decided to go a Spin City Zumba class again, but I did and this time, the things we did in that class were again unspeakable, but for opposite reasons. To reveal what happened in this class would be to reveal what happened in the first class and I can't break a promise, so I shall say no more about it, except to say that I've now learnt my lesson, and there'll be no more Zumba classes at Spin City for me. On a positive note, after the second Zumba class, a Latin dance group who had been rehearsing their new routine in the next studio, asked us to stick around and watch them perform as they wanted an audience. I stayed and they were really great. The teacher was really fantastic. My conclusion is that the actual dance classes here must be pretty good, of a high standard. As for the Zumba classes, well you know I can't talk about that.

Can't sleep? Why not go to the gym to work up that desire for a nap!…read more Found opposite Barkly Square - known for its concentration of deep fried foodery places - Doherty's Gym can often be found with a muscle-bound hulk-esque person moving through the doors. Because of this it took me quite a while to actually go in. a few laps past the windows to look in to see the equipment they have available and the membership prices. One night I couldn't sleep - one of the hot sticky nights that sleep just doesn't want to come - so I thought to myself that now is the best possible time to go and try it out. The gym layout is styled on those west coast US gyms you see in the movies. With more equipment than you can imagine - weight training, cardio fitness, boxing and more - I just wanted to run on the treadmill for a few hours. Afterwards the fully stocked Pro Shop for all your training supplement requirements,and what's better is the coffee shop found even closer than you'd expect. Now I guess I'll never sleep. The membership is not the cheapest if you're a "every now and then" kinda gym user but if it's a 4-6 day a week thing this is definitely for you.
