July Newsletter

Dear Dancers,

As summer approaches, we are spending time outside and enjoying the longer days. We had a fantastic time at Folklife Festival back in May (photos here) and the Korke and Judith Weekender in July (photos here), where we reunited with friends from all across the country. We also had the legendary Terry SalsaAlianza from France giving us an unforgettable hours of workshops and social dancing (video on on IG).

The summer heat is upon us, but thanks to our studio's high ceiling and dehumidifiers, dancers relatively cool. Remember to bring water, take breaks and stay hydrated! There is a water refill station in the smaller studio near the bathroom.

Big congratulations to our of our teams that competed at the Orlando Salsa Festival "The Crown". Over 20 dancers participated bringing back more than 12 trophies and awards in salsa partner, ladies bachata, duo salsa, duo bachata, solo salsa, solo bachata! Great job everyone - we are proud of you!
