But youngsta, didn't you know that DancePoet was sponsoring the tour? :wink:

DancePoet

Oooh! Now there's an idea...we could get sponsors! See, with some more good ideas this might just actually happen. Wouldn't that be wild!

I am ALL for it.......! What can I do from this end......?

Seriously, guys, if we can get sponsors or even get some kinda TV network behind it, we can do on of those reality-show-dance-around-the-world-checking-out-local-scene thingie......!

Or a documentary........?!

Does any of us have contacts in the media :wink: .........?

Can't say I do... but I'd be happy to provide publicity photos! :D

salsachinita

:banana: Yay! I am sure many of DFers will be happy to make appearance in your photos too, SD :wink: !

Maybe we can get Rachel to write a story on this too :D ?!

Hmm, I know a few folks who may know people that would be good to ask about this...the question is, do they owe me any favors? :P

We need a title though, so here's a few ideas:

Salsa Dancing Around the World in 30 Days

Have Salsa, Will Travel

Salsa Con Corazon Del Mundo

To Austrailia Con Clave

Salsaholics Uniting Across the World

The Mr. Sassyhips World Tour

Down Under with my Purple Pimp Hat

American Salseros go to Melbourne to Scam on Hot Aussie Salseras (whoops, that's a typo!)

Yikes, these are pretty bad...Boriken, a little help please! :shock: :D

:lol: Why not......sista?

I'm sure amongst us we've heard/seen more drama or juicy stories etc. in the salsa scene........soooooomuch more fun than daytime soap/telenovela 8) !

*besides, salsero/as are also exhibitionists more or less*

Um. Hello! could you at least stop over in Orlando before heading down under? :roll: :lol:

DancePoet

Pygmalion: Since you are the queen of posts on this forum, our World Dance Tour wouldn't be complete with out a stop in Orlando!

The list now includes Austrailia, Japan, Jamaica, Rumania, and Orlando, Florida.

Note: This event was posted in the General Dance Discussion forum on purpose. We will not be discriminating against other dance styles on this tour. All styles will be covered if at all possible. (Sorry to disappoint any of you exclusive Salseros out there, yet I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for you based on the locations that are already planned!)

P.S. Is there anyone reading these boards from Argentina and willing to host an Argentine Tango event?

We've got to include a couple of stops in Europe...

Could we do Austria so that our VW fans can get in on the dancing ?

Well, that would be ideal for me if enough people are interested (Edinburgh is a beautiful city and definitely worth a visit), but I'd happily settle for London or Amsterdam or Paris instead. :)

Ok ... the tour now includes:

Austrailia, Japan, Jamaica, Rumania, and Orlando FL, and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Sabor ... you up for hosting over in Egypt?

And we are looking for hosts in Austria and Argentina, too!

pygmalion

How about Puerto Rico or Toronto Canada or San Diego ... I can think of lots of places. :wink: :)

Sure i'd love to meet all u peops .. only, ummm.. what exactly does 'hosting' signify here? :lol: .. if u mean preparing a chocolate dip for the salseras .. then we're on the same page :mrgreen:

Sabor, so what is the story behind this chocolate Salsa business anyway? Maybe I don't want to know...:lol: :roll:

Sabor: Haven't defined "hosting", yet. This would at least mean finding us all a place to dance. Perhaps more then one!

P.S. Chocolate goes well with Tango, too!

Come to Wisconsin! Or at least somewhere close like Minnesota or Illnois.

DancePoet

08-09-2004, 07:58 PM

L2S: Are you willing to host in Wisconsin?

Guess this means at least finding a place for all of us to dance, maybe more then one. And serve chocolate as a *******ment? ;)

Ack! Sorry..I missed that post. Well, in that case, I'll definitely consider it, if there's enough interest in coming into the midwest.

Also, I have plenty of chocolate. :D

DancePoet

You know, I was thinking today of a good Salsa spot for all the DF folks to meet, and I have it:

Seattle!

And below are my reasons why:

1. Salsachinita said it has great Salsa dancing
2. A few other folks from DF lived and/or danced there
3. Its somewhat central to Canada and California
4. My brother lives there so I can crash at his place. ;)

Thoughts anyone?

Seattle!

Well, let's ask SD when he gets back. He'd be the one with most recent info :P !

TJ, Melissa, or CapricornDancer can all share their takes too.

Add my vote to Seattle!

Anyone chummy with Richard Branson??? He seems like a charitable dude!! We can do some "extreme dancing". Maybe have a reality show where people have to pick, without any prior knowledge of the people, which two people will end up dancing best together....[/i]

The tour now includes:

Austrailia, Japan, Jamaica, Rumania, and Orlando FL, Edinburgh Scotland, Egypt, Wisconsin, and Seattle.

Although our host from Orlando is moving to Texas. Pygmalion, you planning to host in Texas instead?

And if so, we will need another host in FL, too. Any takers?
