[WreckWench]

Of course I'm there! Wouldn't miss it for the world!

[texasgal77469]

No I'm not giving salsa lessons, but I'll be glad to help the ladies with the basic footwork and hip movements if they need a little help Actually, I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it, but I'll sure try.

This one is going to be too cool!!; gosh, I hope I can make it.

Lisa, if I am going to make it, you know you HAVE TO BE THERE! You have to show off those dance moves you have learned!

[texasgal77469]

Hey Katie,

If you need some instruction prior just call me and we'll get together and go over those moves. Or better still, we both could get together with Julio and I'm sure between the two of us you'll probably learn enough to get by.

I actually have a family reunion that mom really wants me to attend in Austin. It just so happens that I knew about this first....but I'm not sure I can get by with telling my mother, "Too bad....I've got plans to go salsa dancing". This is a touchy subject and will need to be handled very delicately. Truth is I'd rather attend this function than a family reunion....but don't tell Mom!!!

Lisa

[TheSassyRabbit]

Thanks for the offer Lisa! I'll be in CR for the next week, so probably can't take you up on your offer this time - guess I'll just have to wing it. Rain check please :-)

[Mitch0129]

Everyone, since I know Lisa will not say anything about it, I will.

Last weekend, Lisa and her dance partner took second place out of nine couples in a "Jack and Jill" dance competition. For those of you who are asking what that is, it is a form of competition in partner dancing, where the competing couples have been randomly matched. In other words, you may have danced with your partner before, then again, you may not. This is a competition meant to test how well you can "social dance".

In most other competitions, you will dance with a partner that you have been working with for quite some time. Chances are, you will be doing a routine you have been working on together. These type of competitions are meant to test your performance dance skills.

Join me in congratulating Lisa for her accomplishment. Now, I will run for cover since I know Lisa will probably want to kill me!

[TheSassyRabbit]

Congrats Lisa - very impressive!

Everyone: FYI... the location and time have changed - see first post at the very top for latest info.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
