Salsa Party!

Thank you everyone for making the Salsa party a night to remember!!! It was an absolute pleasure for me to MC the party and see firsthand the energy & fun spirited nature of the students as they danced the night away.

The students were initially a little shy, but once the music and teacher’s warmed them up the party took a life of its own. We had Salsa & Merengue music to which the students practiced the steps they learned, and the games competition which consisted of students in teams competing against each other for the most points to win prizes for that team.

Complimenting the party was a professional guest dancer & former Korea Salsa champion, Basara, who helped liven up the party with her improvised lessons and our impromptu performance so the students could see how salsa is danced at many of the salsa clubs in Seoul.

The student’s energy carried the night forward as they competed in a series of fun games to see which team could score the most points to win prizes. Games ranging from smashing Pinatas, a food relay race, and dance offs (among others), made for quite a showcase as the teams competed for the top spot. The dance offs were a pleasure to judge as some of the students went wild with their dancing prowess; it was full of laughs to say the least!

The night ended with some intense dancing to see who the best social dancers were, and I have to commend all that participated as there was some fantastic energy on display. It was really hard to choose the winners, so thanks for all that participated!

The party couldn’t have been a success without the preparation and assistance of all the teachers involved in helping setup the gym, assist in judging the competitions, dancing with the students, and livening up the party with their presence. A big thank you to all of you!! It was very much appreciated!

And of course, a party isn’t a party without party people, and the students definitely had this area covered! Thank you so much for bringing all that energy to the party and making it so memorable! You made the party what it was!

I’m looking forward to seeing you guys on campus. Don’t forget what you learned and keep on practicing that basic step…. 123, 567! ^.~
