This is THE event of the year on the South Coast and there are 119 tickets left - available from the reception girls at any TLC class/club night or please see below for details on how to pay by PayPal or cheques sent by post.
If you have never been before, then get ready for an absolute treat! This is a very unique event with 3 fantastic ballrooms in which to dance or mingle:
Sizzling Salsa with London's finest DJ Julian the Duke until 1.30am
Tantalising Tango with DJ David Prime until 1am, and
Smooth Swing with Andy Kale & his Jive & Swing Jukebox until 1am
Doors open at 8.30pm. Full licensed bar and free car parking behind the venue

'Dress to impress' for this spectacular event which has been sold out for the last 5 years, so obtain your tickets early:
Tickets in advance only: £16 until 18th Dec, £18 after & Students with ID £14 (no availability on the door) and strictly no refunds.
Please contact Tracie for more details on: 07889 288368 or CLICK HERE to send Tracie an email: info@tracieslatinclub.co.uk asking for details on payment by PayPal, bank transfer or post
When asking for tickets, please specify:
Full name and address of all ticket holders, whether you are Salsa and/or Swing and/or Tango dancers and how you heard about the event please.
(This in no way restricts your dancing in any one ballroom, but Tracie tries to keep a rough guide of the ratio and how many are dancing in each room for comfort and safety reasons.)
Tracie always get asked about the dress code at this event, so when she says 'Dress to Impress' , here's the deal:
The Guildhall is very opulent and elegant, so you will not feel out of place in black tie or danceable posh frock.
Guys - there are a lot of people (over 60%) who take the opportunity to wear black tie/DJ and make the girls feel special (see photo below of 2009), however Tracie never specifies 'black tie', as some people don't like it, can't afford it etc etc. So just wear something you feel comfortable in, as well as impressing the girls - and that will be fine - just no jeans!
Girls - you always make the effort to impress the guys, so just go glam as usual!
DINING AT THE GUILDHALL
If you are thinking of dining in Winchester with friends before the ball, then please note that good restaurants are hard to find in Winchester unless you book well in advance, so I provide an option to make it easier for my dancers to get good food at a reasonable price. I have arranged with the Guildhall that a 2-course dinner is served between 7.30-8.30pm in the Courtyard Café (below the Guildhall) for £13.50 including tea/coffee. There are limited covers, and reservations must be made so please CLICK HERE to email Tracie if you would like to reserve your table.
