Update on our Training Team Congress Season 2012

So its been a while and of course I have not been updating the Salsa Diaries. Ugh....I need to get better at this. Anyhow, I figured to get things cracking....so to speak.

First I wanted to just say, this season has been the season of "cakes" lol. So its becoming a weekly tradition to celebrate someone's birthday, eat cake and dance in a circle around the person who's being celebrated. It has been eventful to say the least. I love it. We are so much more laid back and less wired about this season. Everyone gets along well (for the most part). Everyone is easy going. There are tons of talented dancers and we have been doing our best to get all the choreography, tricks, costumes, shoes and everything else needed, done in a timely manner. I am so excited about the costumes and such. My favorite one so far ;)

The girls and guys on the team are so thoughtful and quite frankly, they are amusing as well. We can't go one single practice without laughing or cracking up about something. There are so many different walks of life on this team. We have students on the team quite young still in school all the way to fathers in their 40's (not mentioning names lol). We have brothers, fathers and daughters, teachers, business owners, stay at home moms, nurses, bankers and so many different careers on the team. Its so much fun getting to know everyone.

I must say, there isn't a whole lot we can throw at this team that they can't accomplish with ease. We just have a great group of dancers. We are super fortunate in our opinion. Anyway, congress is in full swing. We practice, we sweat, we laugh, we work hard and its totally paying off. Here are a few pictures from the beginning of the season up until now.

Happy Dancing!

Back in action!

So I have to admit, I got completely side tracked with having a baby and all. I neglected my blog completely! I'm ashamed.....sigh...Ok, now that I had a little pitty party, I'm going to get this blog going again. ;o)

First of all, I want to catch everyone up to date with whats going on with the Salsa Heat Training Team. Since I last wrote, I was mid way into pregnancy and miserable as heck. I was also mid way through Training Team Congress season. In light of the fact that I basically failed miserably at tracking the team's progress, I figured I would just post a few pics and videos of how it all turned out. HOWEVER, our new congress season is getting closer. We have auditions coming at the end of January and will begin the process all over again. I will be posting auditions pics, videos and so on throughout the season.

The best part of this season you ask? We have linked up with Body By Vi (Visalus) to do 90 Day Challenges with our team. So now, not only are they all going to be getting trained on Salsa, they are also going to be getting fit and in shape for our 2012 Orlando Salsa Congress! I am so excited to do this as well because I need to shed this baby weight. Its going to be such a fun and hard working season. Stay tuned everyone!
