20th June, 2010

Last nights party at Bexley, Sydney, with the Buena Vista Dance crew, was fantastic.

Everyone smiling and having fun while social dancing is always great to watch.

With 5 performances from the teams at Buena Vista Dance and one of them being Fernando & Moro, two directors from two different dance schools, it was great to watch them together, strut their unique style of dancing.

A performance which shows flair, passion and rhythm.

Below is a link of the same performance at the Bachata Festival in Sydney on YouTube. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7AHZPS0dmk    

 

18th June, 2010.  

Great news! Tomorrow night, Fernando will be performing together with Moro from Buena Vista Dance Academy  at The Bexley RSL on 24 Stoney Creek rd. Bexley.

Come and check out this beautiful choreography of two males doing solo footwork to a Bachata and ChaCha song.

Last time they performed this number at the Bachata Festival they drove the crowd wild.

The typical comment of their performance was: "Two Latin guys dancing with the true feeling of South American rhythm, fabulous!"

The party starts at 8.30pm with some workshops starting at 2pm.

For more info check out: www.buenavistadance.com.au This Saturday June 19th, don't miss out on some Salsa dancing and great performances.  

See you there!

JUNE 2010

I would like to formally send a message in regards to the new changes that have happened in Salsa Suave.    

It is with sadness in our hearts, to inform you, that Becky Lee is no longer part of our team. As with most things in life, there is a time when you must move forward, and it seems this is the time for her to achieve all her bigger dreams and achievements in her career.  

All we can say is that we have been blessed in this company to have had such a talented dancer, to work with us for so many years, giving her heart and soul to her students and to the Salsa Suave team. The achievements and progress made by her in this company have certainly left us in a higher place than before.  

My proudest moment with her would have to be in Europe, Rome Salsa Congress, while Becky was helping Jayson Molina in his workshop, Jayson and Super Mario told everyone how she is by far one of the most exceptional dancers they had ever met. I almost cried, knowing it had been a long journey for her, of years in training, to become acknowledged, so far away from home.  

To have watched her progress from the first magical dance we ever had together, to the tremendous success she is today, I can only feel extremely lucky that she shared part of her life with us.  

It has been my honour and the team’s privilege to have walked and dance along Becky’s path.

Our strong wishes are, that her success continues in every decision and direction she takes, and we will always have a special place in our hearts, as a reminder, that once upon time, such a magnificent dancer, shared the stage with us...side by side.  

 

Best of luck Pookachu!  

 

Fernando Providel,

and the Salsa Suave Team.
