Art, wine, and food. Sounds like a good time? Throw in some international music, dance, and performances, we have a party!

On November 22, 150 people converged at Deano's Vino and it'sALLart gallery for the first International Networking Party hosted by INtoSalsa. The purpose of this event is to bring different people together to share the beautiful things in life and celebrate our differences. It is also an opportunity to make friends, taste wine, enjoy arts and music, and of course, dance until you drop. We are proud to say that we have achieved our goals.

The party started with a bang. We had Middle Eastern dance, Indian Classical dance, and drumming performances. After a glass of wine, people started to warm up the dance floor. Spin Master TaZ got people dancing non-stop with music from around the world. During breaks, people were walking around and looking at the artwork and the wine collections. Deano, the owner of the winery, told me it was the best party they've ever had, and the crowd was the most ecletic and friendly. He served up some international wine to a group of wine lovers, and then sat back and told them everything they needed to know about wine. At the same time, people were still sweating on the dance floor. They didn't want to stop until the gallery owner pulled the plug (literally), because the people living upstairs had to sleep.

Gerardo, the percussionist with amazing hands, said it was one of the most enjoyable evenings of music and dance Indianapolis has seen in quite a while. We are truly honored by his words and other people's compliments. There will be many more events like this at other interesting locations.
