Lastly, we'd like to recognize a touching email, recently sent to us by a student:
Hi
I wanted to send an email expressing my excitement about last nights class. Finally a Salsa class that teaches the intricate details of the dance and the rhythm and not just a routine. I have been trying to learn on and off for about 5 years and that was the best instruction I have had. I also appreciate that you make it fun and sexy. I was disappointed in Seattle's Salsa as being very competitive and showy but lacking the passion and energy that made me fall in love with Salsa. Thank you for restoring my hope.
I am also excited your teaching it on 2 which is what I learned years ago and the style I have always enjoyed the most.
Anyway I know it never hurts to receive good feedback. Thanks again and I look forward to next week.
Lydia Schmidt
Thank you Lydia, this email really means a lot to us. Knowing that others have, and are developing that passion is why we love teaching.
Thanks again to all our students, we have shared with you our passion and our love of the dance. You have in turn made this dance apart of you, and that is why we love teaching Salsa!
