Bali : the night scene in seminyak November 2011

It has been a relatively quiet on the party scene this past october.
As It seems a lot of bars and clubs are undergoing renovations to be ready for the christmas season.
The monsoon is imminent with heavy rain for 7 hours straight yesterday.

But all is not lost! .... it was a packed house at the new Mint bar on jl pettitinget friday night,
we are all hoping with fingers crossed that the Africa Disco will carry on in a new home,
despite the weather restrictions of their usual beach front location,
and the Capoeira club of bali will host a fun night for all on the 19th of November at JPs /
Mary Magdelenas on the Jl Dyna Pura, Seminyak with the gorgeous and downright talented Mama Africa
to play a set of brazilian african infused grooves and fit international athletes coming together
to show us their dynamic acrobatic skills.

Stay Tuned for more party info!
And feel free to contact me should you wish my services as your personal bespoke inside expat bali guide
with your budget, business and lifestyle turn ons, in mind

The Business of Dance in Bali

My most recent employment as a business guide in Bali was a successful jam packed day of sourcing,
trimmings in lace beads and fabrics, and suitable tailors, for a young Australian dance costume company.
Soucing and advising for Tutus, leotards, tap shoes and tiaras, was a stark contrast to the previous employment
of advising and sampling for a different kind of dance company, in which I was employed by an Australian
new Pole Dancing costume designer, with the emphasis on quick strip lycra numbers with bling
and multitudes of poppers and coloured velcro.
LOL !!
It has been hard days work rolled up with a lot of fun, in a "bling bling" side of Bali.
I totally enjoy sharing my knowledge with creative people new to bali with ambitions of sampling or production here.
In one day I gave away years of knowledge, contacts and advice, which has not only inspired my clients
but has also saved them a fortune in avoiding rip off prices and inferior goods and production.
It Feels Good!

Beach Party Paradise

We have been so lucky to have had the alternative beach party scene on the Dyna pura and Batu Belig Beaches in Bali over the past 12 months. Its been a great relief to party Under the stars, and away from the usual tourist promoted club scene here.
However the catastrophe of the traffic in and out on the sand for the La Barca opening, seems to have sealed the Batubelig Banjar's decision to revoke the rights to party there in the future!
So, we need to be grateful for what we have, embrace and enjoy the last Africa Disco party to be held at the Batu Belig beach at Cozy, on friday the 9th Sep 2011. There is a great lineup of dj's for a tribal rocking roots inspired night of dancing, No doubt they will keep us dancing under the stars and a fat moon, till the wee hours! I for one, cant wait.
So will keep my beach dancing legs warmed up at the
La Plancha on Dyna pura beach party this friday the 2nd sep 2011, though the dj's are unlisted at this time, fingers crossed dj Mat will be there to entertain us with his eclectic mix of hits and film clips.
