The only word after those two days - GREAT!!!! Many thanks to all of you guys for the wonderful time together! Esteban: special thanx and hugs!

I have always known that I had no sense in rythm.....this weekend it was confirmed that even with no dancing or rythm skills, a good bunch of people that wanted to learn and have fun at the same time, anything is possible.

This weekend was great fun and I do plan on taking this Salsa thing a lot more serious in the near future.

To all of you that I have met, thnx for your patience and look forward to meeting you in the near future at other fantastic Glocal events.

Regards,

Marc.

What a fantastic two days!!

Thx to all and especially those people who came along for drinks and dinner. It was very nice to get to know eachother a bit better after salsa and to have some nice chats.

By the way... seeing that video... WOW ... I am good :D

Hope to see you all soon at another Salsa evening (or at any other activity)

Cheers,

Arno

ooohhh yes.... that is so true :D
Arnovd, Apr 6, 2009 @ 15:30

Thanks to everyone! I had a great time, met some cool people and get the jump start to explore Salsa. See you all around!!

I was impressed by Esteban's ability to keep it constantly lively and entertaining over two days for 50 people.

Oh, and I am nicely surprised nobody can see me dance on the video :D
MarcWines, Apr 6, 2009 @ 16:10

Marc... you are in the original uncut version... however it was too awfull to watch.... only the cutted verion is posted.... ;)

Just kidding mate :D
Arnovd, Apr 6, 2009 @ 16:24

Yes, and in the short version, I don't even appear in the background. I made cutting easy for the editor: "lets just cut out everything Marc is on!".
MarcWines, Apr 6, 2009 @ 16:32

Laughs, big smiles and good vibes, it was a really enjoying mixture of all that :D



One thing is sure : if a deaf person like me survived these two salsa lessons days, no doubt that our excellent teacher Esteban is the main responsible ! :Wow:



Special thanks to Nir for his perfect organization, and for his risky unconsciousness when he accepted me to join this event (guess that with him, blind people will participate to Laser Games) :w00t:



Morality : with Glocals, EVERYTHING is now possible !



Cheers !

Hi, all!



I propose to substitute all explanations of the term "fun" in Wikipedia by a link to *this* event -- it simply explains it best :)



Thanx to everybody!!!

I'm looking forward to a possible follow-up.



Ciao

Not much more to add as you have all summarized it quite well but still wanted to join in to thank Nir and Esteban once again ! - I had a great time, enjoyed learning those (sometimes tricky - but we managed it :P !) salsa moves and meeting some cool and friendly people !

Thanks again !

Coming from a family where everybody can dance (me being the exception of course) I thought Salsa was one of those things I wouldn't be able to do, especially after some failed attempts by my family to teach me!! I guess it was just like when a family member is trying to teach you how to drive!! not good!! :P



So years later I decided a more pragmatic approach was needed, so I joined the Salsa weekend and guess what? it worked!! :D I feel like I actually learn some salsa!! can't wait to go back home and try some in a family party!! :cool:



The atmosphere was perfect, six hours of salsa lessons and practicing just went by in a blink of an eye.



Thanks to everybody who made the weekend possible!! :)



PS> can't wait for the follow up.
