Massive MASSIVE thanks to Donna and Warren for being the most amazing dance teachers, motivators and inspirers and for sharing your passion for Latin dance with us all!!

Latin Fire is truly a family and I am so proud to be a part of it!!

Congratulations on another successful South Island Salsa Competition!!

Nicola (Sept 2013)

It's coming up a full year that I've been at Latin Fire, and with the finishing of SI Salsa Comp, I wanted to thank you both for all your work with me this year.

I have immensely enjoyed your lessons, and have been able to learn so much more this year than all the other years I've been dancing combined.

And completing my first competition has been such an amazing experience!

Just a little bit hooked now, looking forward to the next SISC and more!

Daniel (Oct 2015)

It has been a long hard road, full of blood, sweat, bruises, and tears!

I wouldn't have made it out onto the stage without some amazing support.

My team mates from Latin Fire, especially Kathy Reese, Brenna Ogier, Mellinda Fitzgerald, Holly Hobbie, Nicola McCall, & Maeve Gresham.

Thanks to my flatmate Michael Hobbs for helping with my music and calling me moose!

Thanks to Donna Frost for your support and guidance.

Warren Frost thank you for kicking my arse when I wanted to throw in the towel.

And finally to my family, especially my husband for picking me up whenever I was down.

I love you all.
