Thank You Party 2007
30/01/08
Yes the rumours are true! It has happened once again: one of the most enjoyable festive thank-you parties ever was held by us, Step Ahead, at Islington Tapas Bar on Essex Road.
Over 300 guest enjoyed the extended party spirit hosted by Step Ahead staff. Entertainment was on hand, provided by Mike Fairall, a close quarter magician who created astonishment with his sleight of hand and misdirection.
Flamenco dancers provided music and dance to wow spectators, and further into the evening fun salsa ‘lessons’ were available to the brave!
Thank you to those of you who attended. The team at Step Ahead enjoyed meeting everyone and were pleased you had a great time.
For those of you who couldn’t make it, don’t miss out on this year's event! The Step Ahead 2008 Party is already booked for Thursday 4th December 2008 so make it a date for your diary!
