Noche De Fuego

Who could forget the scene in DIRTY DANCING where a pre-cancerous Patrick Swayze teaches a pre-rhinoplasty Jennifer Grey the mambo? Lord knows the image must have been burned onto Baby’s daddy’s retinas. Now, finally, comes the chance to shock our own fathers with something other than pregnancy or unsavoury piercings. Literally meaning ‘night of fire’ this salsa-dance-a-thon promises to steam up the Manning Bar with some extra picante performances from both amateurs and pros. Take notes – nobody puts Baby in a corner. – JG
