We taught at our first Salsa Congress!

[squirrel]

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 .

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!

Congratulations Raluca!

Was it scary to be up on the stage in-front of all those people?

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.
