Dear friends on Dance Forums,
I am taking the liberty of writing to you, on behalf of myself and my dance partner, to resort to your help. Why do we need this help? Because we are isolated here, with not much connection to the Salsa World but the Internet. This is due to the following:
- lack of professional trainers - we learned 'word of mouth' more or less... by watching the small videos we can find on the Internet mostly.
- lack of access to information, impossibility to attend international events due to very scarce financial resources, complete lack of local events
What I'm trying to tell you is that we would need your help to improve and help to the development of Salsa in Romania. We have already made a few steps in this direction, by asking any foreing dancer that happened to visit our country to teach us anything (trust me, there weren't many coming). So, what we actually would need from you is any kind of material that you want to spare. I mean, at present we dance LA style here, but would be very interested to learn NY, Cuban, Puerto-Rican and Rueda de Casino (we have some Rueda, we know the basic step, but use locally conceived patterns, not the international ones). Of course, if any of you guys want to visit our country, just write to one of us and we'll tell you anything that you need to know about Romania and see you to the best dance venues here. We would love to have you visit our country.
If you think you can and want to help us, we're waiting for feedback from you, to let us know how to proceed from now on.
We were fortunate enough these days to have here two dancers, one of them a member of DF, who have taught us many new and very fascinating things, especially shines and styling (which we don't have much here). We are very grateful to them and want to take this opportunity to thank them again.
If any of the DF members is interested in paying us a visit, please do not hesitate: Romania is a beautiful country!
Thank you very much.
