Ok ladies! I'm gonna set a date, woohoo!
I'll be hosting our little makeover session on Sunday, Dec. 6 at my house (eek!! :)) from 5 to 6ish. That way we'll be done early enough to get some rest for the next day and start late enough for everyone...
OK so Layna emailed me today to say she couldn't go to Dallas and that we'd have to find another hotel as well. Star and Rachel, are you ladies still willing to go? Is anyone else going? We can look into hotels and I do have a few friends there th...
hey ladies,
thanks for giving her the rundown Layna! I'm going to buy a night pass for Saturday and Sunday. Not taking workshops, so during the day Sunday, I'll probably catch up with friends if you guys are doing workshops...My cousin is probabl...
I think the plan goes something like this:
Rachael is going with other friends on Friday night. Leah and I are driving up early Saturday morning. Rachael is getting a pass for the whole weekend work shops. Leah may or may not get a pass for the w...

Are we going to drive up on Saturday, or do I need to tell my friend to book us a room for Friday night too?
My friend got us a cheap hotel room. The one who works for HIlton. I'll get specifics and let you know.

This is the performance I was preparing for last week:). Google Amanda Cardona - she's been dancing forever and she ran one of the first teams out of NY, Razzmatazz!
I can go Friday. Or early Saturday. I'm an early riser. My number is 501-428-1319 Rachael.
Hmmm....I'd like to go for the Saturday classes...:/ I wonder if I could ride down with a friend Friday and then meet y'all Saturday...or possibly pull a Star and leave super early in the morning on Saturday. And I'm pretty sure Star's been planni...
Yeah I checked it and it's all at the Radisson. Let's just stay there. It will be eaiser, don't you think? And $85 a night is not a bad price. Is Star coming?
Wait. is this at the Radisson? The website says they have rooms for $85, and we woudlnt' have to commute. Is this where all the workshops and performances will be?

- About Me:
- Wow, about me is such an open ended question:). In regards to salsa, I'll copy my website bio:) :
Leah Patterson has been dancing salsa professionally for over 6 years. In that time, she has become internationally recognized for her smooth and sensual styling and dynamic stage presence. She’s performed and taught all across the world. As a principal dancer of the well known dance co. Descarga Caribe, she has shared her charisma and love for dancing with salsa enthusiasts in China, England, Spain, Italy, Canada, California, Washington DC, Texas, Chicago and countless other places.
Her style of dance has often been described as sophisticated, sharp, precise, imaginative, and even spiritual. One of her more recent performances includes the ESPN Salsa World Championships in which she competed in the Team Division with Descarga Caribe and helped place the team within the top 10 of the world.
Leah has been privileged to choreograph and perform with many amazing dancers including Sekou McMiller (Chicago), Darlin Garcia (Philadelphia), Del Dominguez (Chicago), and Will Pagan (North Carolina). Dancing is her greatest passion and she thoroughly enjoys spreading this love through continuing to teach and perform wherever it takes her.

- Just wondering what you have been up to. We've been busy and have not danced in months. The next time we will get to dance is at the party. within the next month we are going to figure out what to do as far as starting somthing. We may not be able to make amove until after the summer because of financial constraints. That would maen no going out all summer long, Since we are getting married I bet it will still be a wonderful time!!!!

- You may find some people interested in a styling class. Most the people we encounter at our parties are ballroom dancers or beginners. They would most likely not be interested in styling because they don't know what salsa really looks like. You can contact either Rachael or Star. Star said she was coming. It is the 23rd of this month. I will say this, we may be buying land and trying to cut back on money, so there is a slight chance this could be our last party. If so I am going to make a good effort to find a place to do it weekly, but it will need to be on a weekday, so it will most likely not gain popularity.

- GREAAAT!!!! If you have any suggestions let us know. Reply whenever possible. It is my duty to make Little Rock a wonderful place for Salsa!!!!

- Nothing, absolutely nothing. Little Rock is not really a Salsa city, but me and Andrea are putting time and effort into changing the situation. It's gonna take time. The party was a blast. I teamed up with some friends from hot springs and ended up changing the playlist. Angel Canales, Justo Betencourt, you know the good stuff. Hope you come back to Little Rock in the near future.
