The one-week crash course with these four dedicated
student-teachers were fantastic. We all had fun and
experienced the ecstasy and the stresses of the dance business.
With dance technique every morning, the four of
them learned the fundamentals to all Latin dance training and
skills for speed, balance and styling. We also studied
teaching techniques for rapid and clear learning, professionalism
and organizational skills for business.
At the end of the week, each was assigned one
lesson plan to teach in full and we all learned from the strengths
and weaknesses of every participant.
The nervousness and the laughter were
inevitable, but they all were exceptionally great teachers with
their own unique style.
I wished it were longer because the week flew by
so quickly. I loved working with these four because they
were all very serious learners with a great sense of the dance
business world. Each has gained my respect and is highly
recommended by me to teach salsa in their cities.
We all had a final evening out at the Mayan
Night Club in downtown Los Angeles where Lawrence Chow (owner)
treated us to a VIP table with a great view of both the dance
floor and the live band. (photos to come)
Web pages for each of the new teacher's will be
up shortly.

The three weeks with the ladies were great.
Every morning started out with a warm-up and technical dance
exercises, then we moved on to studying the lead and follow to the
set Salsa Step list. We also had business talks and goal
setting on paper.
Each of the ladies had their own unique
strengths and weaknesses and each of them had their own goals in
what they wanted to accomplish with this course.
In the three weeks we covered the complete salsa
steps list to teach a 16-week salsa course, professionalism,
proper technique and training, teaching tips, choreography,
business etiquette, and marketing yourself.
Many people attend a course of this nature
because they are interested in dancing better themselves as
well as teaching. This is why we spent equal amounts of time
training them as dancers as well as professional teachers.
Everyday I could see the improvement with the
turning and technique and special exercises the ladies practiced
every morning. Their confidence level also built up so that each
were starting to teach with more clarity and self assurance.
The last week was a special one. Each taught a
lesson which was videotaped. We all sat down and critiqued each
other's performance. Overall the girls had a great time and
each also thought the time had flown and wished that we had more
time together.
We wrote down our goals and talked about
suggestions for future courses. we had our farewell party at
the Conga Room in Los Angeles, where we danced the night away.
Our next each is course will start May 29, 2002. For more info please call our office at
