Well, for the first time in my life, I'm speechless. Tonight was the most amazing, unbelievable, glorious, magical night.

Many thanks to Big Huge Games and the Baltimore Salsa Meetup for coming out in droves and supporting this night.

Welcome to all the new people and beginners who came to Salsa Uno for the first time. With 76 of you in a 2 hour beginner class this community should be feeling another growth spurt soon.

Congratulations to Kim Kodenski, Jesus Obregon, Marla Dubin and Larisa Harrington for winning the Jack and Jill contest and a great big thank you to all 18 of you who participated.

I have uploaded the photos and the link to them is on my website on the EVENTS page. www.AliveWithDance.com. If you don't see a photo amongst the pics that you saw in the camera, it's because I filtered them as I was uploading them. I have been thanked many times over for this extra process of weeding out the unflattering photos. Sometimes they look great in the camera in the dark club but when I get them up on a large screen, they don't look anything like they did a few hours prior.

Something I didn't get to do in my email on Sunday was to thank Earl Rush, StuckOnSalsa and the DC Salsa community for the Lifetime Achievement Award they bestowed upon me for the work I have done, and do, for the Baltimore Salsa Community. As I've said before, this really needs to be shared with all of you because you are the ones who bring the guests, support the night and forward the emails. Tonight was a perfect example. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A very important announcement. So many of you have asked me about dance shoes. Well, no need for that caravan road trip as I am bringing Ron Burkhart of Best Foot Forward down to Club ONE. Ron will be here with all of his shoes on Sunday, July 27 from 12:00pm until 4:00pm. Ron has many styles for both men and women and you can get them in any style, fabric, color, heel style and heel height. I'll have sample booklets at the club next week. You may email me with any questions. Please spread the word.

Another important note. Someone accidentally placed a Fuji Finepix camera in a charcoal colored leather case in the wrong red cloth shoe bag on the second floor around 10:30 or 11:00pm. Here's a direct quote from an email I just received, "I'm hoping & praying that it gets returned to me; I just committed to Barb that I'd help out with the Salsa meetup as much as I can and tonight was supposed to document the success with Salsa Uno. I feel horrible!"
Please email me ASAP if you have it. On her behalf, I say thank you.

The weekend events are listed on the EVENTS page of this website.

Thank you all for an incredible night. I wish you all a beautiful and safe holiday.

Susan
