The Houston Salsa Congress

Hello My Salsa Babies,

The Houston Salsa Congress was a Blast!!! So I finally hit a milestone in my salsa career. I got to teach my First  Salsa Workshop at a Congress! I must say that I had a Blast Getting to Flex my Salsa Skills with the Big Boys. I have taught Countless Salsa Classes and Workshops at Bachata events or in Salsa Bootcamps over the years, but nothing as far as salsa congresses. The Energy of the Salsa Congress was really high, and The Salsa Dancers from Dallas represented in full force. The Shows were smoking hot and the Social dancing was stimulating and electrifying! My Salsa Workshop was Beginners Partner work On 1. I had a great turnout for the class. Its always trick to teach a room full of beginner Dancers, because everyone is not on ground zero in their ability to dance. I had to truly put my instructional skills to the test!I started the turn pattern easy the slowly began to push toward the “OH Crap” Category! The students hung in their like troopers and absorbed every tip, step and tricks to this pattern. Soon I had almost as big of a crowd watching my class as I did taking the class. I other salsa Instructors, Dancers, and Performers, as well as other students watching in aw. They couldn’t believe that a group of beginners were able to execute such a difficult pattern. By the conclusion of the class I announced that I had my Online classes and that I would post the pattern I taught then on there in a couple of weeks. I was then flooded with students and spectators alike asking for my Business Cards. One of the ladies told me that I taught the best  Salsa Workshop she had ever seen! That Definatly made me feel good. I just love sharing my Passion of salsa with the masses!  When I got home on Sunday I had another 30 Facebook friends and a ton of sign ups for dfwsalsaforsummies.com! So I do Believe it was a good trip for me. I can’t wait for the Austin Salsa Congress! I am Teaching a Salsa Class there as well!

Save me a Dance,

Jay Stylz
