Persons who attended were
more than pleased with event and had a fantastic time. There were many compliments in reference to the island, the resort, the food, the theatre, the live music, the DJ's, the dance performances & workshops. The mix of music, including; Salsa,
Hustle, Merengue, Zouk, etc... gave more of an island feel, was all in good taste and enjoyed by everyone. The event was well organized and everything promised, was delivered! This year's dates are confirmed for November 1-7, 2005.
Live music, from the neighboring island of Puerto Rico, will be presemted two nights.
On Friday, Nov 4th with Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound and Saturday, Nov 5th with Papo Lucca y La Sonora Ponceña.
