Hello all (sorry for the cross postings) - I am sad to inform you that I am going to need to cancel my Wednesday class for the summer. I will be speaking to the wonderful folks at the Canal Club and hopefully pick back up in the Fall - but for several reasons I need to take that night off.
This summer I am teaching four times a week at El Camino College, teaching at UCLA, at the KING KING every tuesday and on Saturdays in West LA (as well as organizing the FREE SALSA SATURDAYS) - I am also prepping to tour the company to NYC, DC, San Fran and Seattle this August - so my plate is bien llena (super full :) I was out of the country for two weeks and the momentum was unfortunately lost - I am sure if we kept plugging at it we could get the numbers back up - but right now, since I am teaching every single other night all week long - I really need that night to rest - for my health and well being - having low turn out and very few RSVP's for the workshop gave me 'permission' to do that :)
I am so sorry to the few who were planning on doing the workshop - I love and adore you all and hope that you can make it out to some of my other classes - please spread this to anyone who might be planning on attending the class - I would really appreciate it!
Again thank you so much for your support in the past and for your dedication to dancing and being compassionate partners!
much respect - hope to see you out there on the dance floor!
