3. GOA SALSA FESTIVAL 09 : Feb 13th-15th ( Prices finalized)

There were lot of perfromances which were repeated.Somehow the repetition must have been unavoidable as all 3 days there were different audience.

All and all what a night, I regret not taking the workshops, but i made it up by attending the last social of the event. It was a great event.It was surprising to see how un-commercial, the event was, I was not charged any money for the event, only on the last day I was stopped by the bouncers, who wouldn’t let me get in, cause I had gone out to make a few calls, I paid them some and got in.

Here are some videos of the performances of the last day below, also you can check some of the pics on my FB page here http://bit.ly/44ztkX

Also I plan to take a 3 months break from work to learn salsa, suggestions would be welcome.

It started about an hour an half late, and lasted for more than 2 hours. So by the time it ended I was tired and had no energy to go to Clarks exotica for socials. (which I heard rumors that the party was forced to close down at 12 am).

Here are some video’s of the performances.To check for pics click here http://bit.ly/44ztkX

I missed the workshop but reached just in time for the performances, and stayed on later for the socials.There were 2 performances today by foreign artists,Gian Carlo and Masha, New Zealand and Alex Lee & Kim, USA. Check out the videos below.

The event started with amateur prelims, what was surprising was no one from mumbai had participated in the amatuer prelims. One of the reason might be, that most of the amateurs start their own classes and might be shy of performing in the amateur category. Im really hoping that today(8th Aug), I might see some mumbai performers.

The performances were short and crisp, but i felt there is a desperate need for more talent. The Radio One RJ performances could have been completely avoided, and some Pune guys who took their dance performances way too seriously.

On the people from Mumbai,Except Salsa India people I haven’t seen any other dance schools from mumbai participating in the Congress, What a  shame guys, you got to be here. Lourd is a great host, I love the way he  has weaved this event. Way to go Lourd!!!

The socials were good, but i couldn’t figure out why the air-conditioning was on low on the dance floor, it was stinking after a while, I managed a couple of dance, it is bit difficult to find someone who will say Yes to a beginner level guy like me.

Here Im leaving you with some videos, I managed to upload, there would be more coming once back in mumbai.Uploaded some pics on Facebook, click here to check out http://bit.ly/44ztkX
