Oakland Veteren's Hall, 200 Grand Ave @ Harrison, Oakland, CA
THANKS to all who attended!
If you've ever wanted to learn about many more dances, this is a great chance to do so. An all-day event, Dance Sampler will have 7 hours of workshops for only $40! There are 35 different workshops covering 5 main styles of dance: Latin, Swing, Vintage, Ballroom, and Folkloric. Jake and Techi will teach introductory lessons in Salsa (10AM) and Mambo(11AM). We focus on essential techniques for dancing and learning the hard stuff in all of our classes -so even introductory classes are essential. And if you've ever wanted to try 'on-2' NY style Mambo, we'll introduce that in our 2nd hour!

"Salsa Stars" Workshop, Oakland, CA February 1, 2003
THANKS - to all those who attended. . .
Next Salsa Stars will be FALL 2003.

Hear what one student attending Salsa Stars Feb 1, 2003 wrote us about our workshop:
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 00:51:51 EST
Subject: last Saturday's workshop
To: jake
Dear Jake:
I have to say that the workshop last Saturday was definitely my wife's idea. I went through several of the sessions without much enthusiasm. I was being taught "shines" I'd never use (close to cheerleading choreography, if you ask me) and styles that weren't what I thought of as smooth. Then, at 4:00 PM we hit your session. I watched you warming up and knew that was how I wanted to dance. Your command of salsa was awesome - you and Techi were wonderful together.
... It was wonderful to learn such an elegant step - now all I have to do is work on my memory...
You'll be hearing from us for some private lessons in the future. To put it simply, you were inspiring.
Sincerely, JE
