    Best compliments ever!

    Really appreciate being asked to dance when I have gone out lately. Especially as I am returning to dancing and the crowd has generally been very friendly and welcoming. Being welcomed to a positive environment is a great compliment to all involved.

    Berlin salsa congress 2015 review and discussion

    I I remember a lifts workshop where i nailed the lift because my partner was small, light and awesome...then the instructor said rotate. I look strong so a big lady ran over saying i want to do that referring to the angel floating above me carrying her own weight. I thought 'you need a crane...

    Berlin salsa congress 2015 review and discussion

    The dancers score off the charts. I heard between two to three thousand attendees and all I know is that I saw amazing passion, good vibes and energy. Eg. So many danced until 7am then re-appeared for workshops to do it all again. Sunday morning workshops had people dressed the same as Saturday...

    Getting back into Salsa dancing after many years...

    great enjoy. Scenes change which is what makes it interesting so like visiting a country you knew a while ago, you may have been there but you may not recognise it all this time. Try to be a tourist and do beginner classes to meet new people and understand different points of emphasis. Eg. is...

    Berlin congress - no Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz

    I missed the warning - I guess I wanted to believe they would be playing. After the NYC congress and now this, I cannot see congresses in my future. I have often been wrong and am no fortune teller so we shall see. I won't attend the Thursday night concert though if anyone wants my ticket...

    Dancing for the disabled – and encouragement for beginners

    Super inspiring - thank you for sharing. Hopefully we can all share our experiences to help others. I bet I could watch you dance and never know that you had additional challenges. It is great that you share - thank you. Keep it up and enjoy the dancing. My biggest goal in dance is to now have...

    Berlin congress - no Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz

    So frustrating. I booked everything (quite expensive from Australia) primarily to see the music but they changed. I only just found out and am told no refunds. Even if I got a refund, it would not come close to what I will lose on flights & accommodation. Plus I convinced a friend of mine to...

    NY Salsa congress discussion and reviews

    Pretty sure I travelled the furthest and paid the most for this (i would be close). I recognise the hard work by everyone so let me break it down: Venue: 0/5 - completely inappropriate. Too many people so exceeded any reasonable safety laws. Sounded terrible too. Bad layout. Multiple rooms...

    Berlin Salsa Congress in a month - Help me pick workshops!

    I will be there so can give you tips then - it all depends on what you like. My experience with European congresses though was that partner workshops were BYO with no rotating.

    NY Salsa congress discussion and reviews

    I concur - the venue is far inferior to the Hilton but there is so much good about the congress too. Eg the instructors. Get a better venue and a great band and they are back in business. But I have no idea about the costs of venues versus tickets etc. I hope enough feedback goes to the...

    Great, looking like dinner around 7 meeting at Wyndham NYC lobby then we can go from there. We can yelp a place to eat then. Unless any locals chime in with better places to go.

    NY Salsa congress discussion and reviews

    Live report from workshops. Packed not using stages so a mass of people. Adolfo was super professional so made it work by managing the crowd. Osmar from yamulee has me writing this in his workshop. Zzzzzzzz He was late and people asked him to dance on the carpet to be seen (no stage in...

    NY Salsa congress discussion and reviews

    Ha. Funny night. The presenceon2 was in the zone. Kbitten had me purring and i had fun. Got asked to dance and i try not to say no. It was nice to be out on the floor. Asked one lady and i thought she said yes but her taking her bags and leaving seemed contradictory evidence. She will be back...
