People, I taught at my first Salsa Congress 2 weeks ago!

Regensburg, Germany - we had 2 workshops to teach.

I was nervous at the beginning, but managed to relax after 10 minutes and the class went well.

This weekend, we teach again. In Sofia, Bulgaria!

Please keep your fingers crossed... :) We teach in the same time with Susana Montero and Salsa Dance Squad... :)

I noticed you and Drago were listed as teachers on the Bulgaria congress website when I was thinking about going... I've had to give up on the idea as I can't take time off to travel, but I was really, really tempted...

Good luck -- you go girl! Have a great weekend :D.
 
Congratulations!
It's a strange feeling, isn't it? ;)
And the people coming to you afterwards and asking questions while you're thinking "Why me? There're much better dancers up here...." and feeling a little confused...
BTW - I was in Regensburg, at the parties, din't know that it was you!
 
:) Thanks guys...

Yes it was me, desconocida... I have not been on this site for ages... otherwise I would have mentioned I would teach there... and maybe we had met... :)
 
Thanks for the support guys.

No. it was not scary. The part which was a bit annoying was not knowing their level and what they expected.

I have this approach to Salsa lessons that is most probably not fit for Congresses. That is, to teach leadable and followable moves and explain the technique (mostly what I do in my class). The people who teach at Congresses are mostly giving out choreographed moves (with a few notable exceptions).

All in all, it was all right. :) I'll keep you posted. :)
