Happy Fall everyone, it feel like October today with the crisp air. Tonite I have the honor of performing at the Latino Heritage Awards hosted by the City of Seattle and the Mayor will be recognizing outstanding Latino leaders who have done great work in the community. On the bill is a solo FESTEJO de Valentina for myself and then a special guest appearance by my former teacher and friend Sonia Porras and her Academy of Peruvian Folk Dances. My dance partner and I will wrap up the cultural presentation with a SALSA number! Club Sur tonite 7pm, open to the public.
On another note, the fitness classes at Seattle U have been shaping up nicely-be sure to check it out sometime if you're in the mood for a Latin Lunch or Power Salsa cardio fitness break in your routine. Stay tuned for our next event at the Bellevue Seattle Museum coming in November for all ages. ....a Bailar!

You may know us for Latin, Salsa and sparkles all over the party floors, but we also keep busy with teaching Ballroom Dances and choreography online.  Coming up this December  are specialty workshop opportunities for Engaged Couples. We get it, disruptions are not pretty especially with once-in-a-lifetime moments but that does not stop us from helping you achieve the skills that make for a beautiful and memorable Wedding First Dance.   Looking comfortable, natural and confident takes rehearsal time...something we LOVE to do! No need to be in the same room, or time zone for that matter, virtual coaching makes practicing easy. Sign up here for some pro tips, mini-lessons and choreography sampling to fit your duet personality. Much like a Wedding, the Quinceanera (a young woman's coming of age BIG 15th birthday party) falls under the same scope of planning and preparation-we've got those Queens-in-the-making covered too! Two weekend dates available   para ella...Hip Hop, Regaton

Sometimes disruptions can lead to new pathways- virtual one-on-one coaching.  We may not be sharing space, but we are still rooting you on, in this movement journey. Registered students can count on class credit through the end of the year and/or take advantage of online dance coaching with Vanessa .Request at balorico@gmail.com or call to inquire (206) 679-7229 There is nothing like the feeling and accomplishment when you finish dancing a great Salsa song knowing you rocked out on the mambo section. There is nothing like connecting on the dance floor with a Bachata dance that makes you feel like you are in a nightclub music video. There is nothing like the attitude and demeanor of a great  Tango dance, when you begin to understand the magic of harnessing energy for efficiency of movement and purpose in execution. Stay tuned for a return of classes once we get through this Pandemic State of Emergency. The poetics of dance translates to real life. We'd love to hear about your
