The Poetry of Movement:
Not that I am very good at any of my above multiple personalities,
but I must admit that salsa dancing is particularly challenging for me.
Still, it is very much me! However uncorresponded, it is a great love.
My website would not be complete without it. For really good
dancers, contact these two great dancers and instructors:
Salsa dancing, 2002, with Diego. Check his dance group at
www.grupoamerica.net
Salsa dancing,
1999 with Luis Guitierrez, at the School of Fine and
Performing Arts, SFU.
