A Heartfelt Thank You Goes Out To:
I must first thank 2001 Nightclub for their amazing support and encouragement by ,yet again, offering the space for the classes and the dance party. Without your generousity the conference would not have happened the first time and now we get to do it again.
To Daphne at the Caribbean Bar and Grill, you were an answered prayer and I am so very grateful that we got to meet and work together.
To Wanda and Dj V of La Morenas Production it has been a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with you as we help the latin dance community grow in Myrtle Beach.
To Anana Parris, you have become a sister to me and I am deeply grateful for your support and how you selflessly share your talents with others.
To Milton "Clave" Isley, you have been a constant friend and I am deeply grateful to you for coming to share your skills as a Salsero yet again.
To Christian McCullen, I am grateful to you for agreeing to offer your talents, energy, and humor to this endeavor once more.
To Shantelle Smalls, I saw how beautifully you danced at the previous conference so your face came to mind when I was deciding on instructors this time. Thank you so much for attending again as an instructor.
To Ramon Gil, I am so happy that I got to meet you socially over the years and that now we get to work together. Your input and advice has been invaluable to me.
To Anthony, my personal chauffer when I am in Atlanta, I look forward to working with you and I am grateful that you are coming to pass on your leading skills.
To Gloria Cruz, thank you so much for making it possible for a massage therapist to be a fixture with the conference. I look forward to experienceing your skills as a healer.
To Brian Walton, your offer to capture this event in photography is an amazing gift and I can't wait to see what your lense captures.
To Lorraine Luongo, there are very few teachers in the world who have students as passionate and supportive as you have been. I extend a heartfelt thank you for your help when I needed it most.
To Jed Keck, I am so happy that we got to run into each other after so many years and now you have not only become a student but a friend. Thank you for taking the initiative and helping me when I needed it.
To "Hungry Howie's" and "Moe's", thank you so much for filling the stomachs of staunch dancers. Without your food I am certain most of us would pass out.
And lastly, I have to express many thanks to ALL of my students who are my inspiration and give me the energy to keep pursuing this beautiful art form. THANK YOU!!!
