Latin Music & Dance Party
Fundraiser with international flair

High energy is in evidence to make the 5th annual Latin Music & Dance Party at the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn on Friday, September 11, 7:00pm - 11:00pm, the best ever! This fundraiser will benefit the Hands to Honduras-Tela project - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit currently under construction at the Tela Hospital. The NICU is the largest project attempted by H2HT and a late October dedication is anticipated.
Two live Latin bands will be featured: Rhode Island's hottest Latin band - (Dominican-born) Jesus Andujar and band Grupo Sazon; and Vermont's own - (Dominican-born) Alejandro Torrens and band Grupo Sabor. While the bands are setting up, there will be Latin music by DJ Raul, and dance instruction featuring Bachata led by Victoria of Salsalina Dance Studio.
Linda Gilbert, the chair of the event, added, “you don’t have to be an expert dancer to enjoy the evening. There’s something for everyone.” Enjoy Latin-inspired appetizers: O Bread chili cheese ciabatta, Shelburne Farm cheese, William Wisell of Cucina Antica Half Baked will bake specialty pizzas in the courtyard, and Sonia of Sonia's tomatillo Salsa will offer tastes. Desserts: locally baked cookies (Great Harvest & Rhino Foods), fresh fruits, and Good Comida will offer samples of their scrumptious cheesecakes. Cash bar hosted by Shelburne Farms (wine, beer, full bar and a new drink, Peruvian Pisco Sour).
