AliveWithDance/March Birthday Party

Hi all. I guess the most important news has nothing to do with dancing (except in the end zone!) Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens.Good luck next Sunday.

I have all the details for the 10th Annual March Birthday Celebration. The basics are below but you'll find the complete info on my website http://www.alivewithdance.com/html/events.html

10th Annual March Birthday Party Celebration

"THE GET DOWN"
Brought to You by Susan Leiter's AliveWithDance
Wednesday, February 22 2012

Save the date! Wednesday, February 22 2012
The Get Down 701 South Bond St Baltimore MD 21231 (corner of Bond and Aliceanna Sts) www.GetDownBaltimore.com 443-708-3564
Playing for your sole enjoyment of music and dancing will be none other than DJ Renzo **It's DJ Renzo's birthday in March, too!

This night began with my birthday in 2001. Then I met Mary Ann, discovered we had back to back birthdays and the party became an even bigger party. Then, when Dwight came into the mix, it became a March birthday event as I began discovering there were many who shared birthdays, not only in March, but in the same week. Now everyone, who's birthday falls in the month of March, gets in for free. The only requirement is that you bring a valid photo ID to show to my door person. I learned this the first year I did this as there were lists, upon lists and still I didn't have everyone's name. The photo ID eliminated a line at the door and much less stress for the person

*****PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! THERE WILL BE NO BEGINNER CLASSES THAT NIGHT. THE CLASSES WILL BEGIN AT "7:30PM" AND WILL BE "2" ADVANCED BEGINNER CLASSES.*****

Doors open at 7:00pm
**Leave time for parking! Classes will begin and end on time!**

Don't forget about the 3rd Annual 2012 Baltimore Salsa Fest. Added this year is a special Sasla/Bachata Survival Challenge taught by myself, Dwight Smith, Niss Albaig and Vanessa Beltran-Medina. Check it out! http://www.baltimoresalsafest.com/. Don't wait to register. It's limited to 40 people and the spaces are going fast.

There's an important event happening this Saturday in Baltimore It's Ritmo de la Noche hosted by Salsanow. All the details are my site.

Once again, as a writer of a newsletter, it takes a lot of time to gather event information, surf sites, and make phone calls to various promoters. Just ask Sue Elliott. I used to do this all the time, when there were just a couple of promoters. Well, now everyone has jumped on the band wagon which makes it virtually impossible to keep up with it all. As a promoter, if you would like your event to reach a demographic other than facebook, send me the basic information for your event and I'll get it up on my site. If it gets to me early enough, I'll mention it in my email. If you're strictly a patron and you see an event you feel is worth mentioning, get me the same info. We had an unfortunate thing happen this weekend. Two people in our Salsa community found out about the MoCo Latin and Salsa Dance Festival, happening today, too late. It was only on FB and I need to tell you (believe it or not), not everyone is on FB. By the way, there is no advertising fee for this.

I'd like to share something with you. I had an interesting experience at La Palapa last Thursday night. I was standing at the bar getting a bottle of water and a woman came up to me and complimented me on my dancing. She asked, "How do you it?" To which I replied, "I just let the music inside my soul and whatever comes out, does." To which she replied, "Oh, I could never do that." To which I replied, "Everyone can dance. It's a form of self expression. Some more structured (or less structured) than others, but everyone can dance. You just do what you feel inside."

There are two very important quotes spoken by two masters of dance. The first one, by George Balanchine, the second by Martha Graham.

"Dance is music made visible"........George Balanchine

Once again, let the music inside and let it flow out in whatever shapes it desires.

"Our arms start from the back because they were once wings".........Martha Graham

Wings are meant for flight. Let go of your body and let it fly.

Don't forget about your ongoing weekly venues. Check them out on my website on the GOING OUT page.
