Sunset Salsa Sail

Posted by katiesea on July 22, 2009










Saturday Salsa Sail was a complete success! We, the salseros, and the sail crew were very pleased to see all of you enjoying yourselves, dancing and socializing.

Instead to writing a description, here are some spontaneous reviews from the salseros that attended:

“ If you were not there, you TRULY missed out. WHAT AN EVENT!! I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. The food was great, the people were wonderful, and the atmosphere could not have been any better. The most disappointing part of this event was when it was over. We would have stayed there all night if we could have. I would LOVE to see this happen again this year. It was truly a BLAST and LOADS OF FUN!! We Want More ;)

“ I had such a great time. I danced and danced and danced. I enjoyed dancing with many lovely ladies. Before arriving, I was concerned about the size of the craft; thinking that it may be too small to have many people dance. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was so very large and had plenty of dance space. The meal was very good. There were plenty of drinks available. The crew was very helpful. I would love to do it again, soon, and recommend this to my friends. ”

“ It was very nice. I hope there will be more! ”

“ It was one of the funnest things I’ve done all summer long! Food was great and socializing with fellow Salsaholics outside of the classroom was super fun! ” See the pics our members put on our facebook group!

We will do another one soon so keep your eyes open for the new date OR SUBSCRIBE to the Dallas-Fort Worth Latin Music and Salsa Dance Meetup Group for free updates on our activities.

Intensive Salsa Training Program Open Audition July 14

Posted by katiesea on July 6, 2009

OPEN AUDITION! This is an intensive salsa training program for the dedicated dancer whose goal is to become an amazing dancer by training to performance level in New York style salsa (On2). Training will be Tuesdays 7:15-9:15 and Saturdays 12:30-2pm for 8 weeks in Irving. This program is open to 10 leaders and 10 followers.

Who: This audition is open to anyone. We are especially looking for salsa dancers with at least 6 months of experience in any style and with the passion to become a better dancer through hard work and dedication. In short, we are looking for true salsaholics! (If you spend your day wondering when you are going dancing next… then that’s you!) Trained dancers in other disciplines should also apply. Those dancers at an accelerate level may be invited to join an additional practice.

What: The Open Audition will run like a dance class, nothing too scary- you will not have to dance all by yourself! We will begin with some paperwork, then start the “audition” with a warm up, stretching, footwork, drills, and a pattern.

When:
Our open auditions will be July 14th at 7:15pm. We meet Tuesdays 7:15-9:15pm and Saturday 12:30-2pm.

Where: The studio is 3401 West Airport Freeway, Suite 210, Irving, TX. It’s on the corner of 183 and N Belt Line Rd in the shopping complex with Target. We are on the second floor above the Half Price Books. The sign for the studio is Events in Motion. Click here for map.

Cost: The cost is less than $7/hour of training. The 8 week course is $250 per person, or $450 for couples. Students enrolled in the intensive training program are also encouraged to take any of our other classes free of charge, especially the 5pm On2 class on Sunday. Cash or check due upon enrollment. We also have payment plans available.

What to Bring: Please wear dance clothes (workout clothes)- no jeans! You should be able to move freely in your clothes and we should be able to see your body lines. Only dance shoes and socks are permitted in this studio. If you need to purchase dance shoes, you can do so at the first meeting, at our Sunday classes, or online at www.SaborDancewear.com, but socks are ok too!

Mambo at the Mall

Posted by katiesea on July 6, 2009

What a neat concept! We had fun at this social which was full of great dancers- I wish more people had come because the music was really good! But on the up side, we had lot of room to dance.

Juan Chavez is in Dallas for the summer giving private lessons. Here we are dancing at the event. Juan likes to dance barefoot or in socks… he’s different like that. For private lessons with Juan, reach him through his website: http://juanpchavez.com
