Latin Jazz Diana-mite - won 2nd place!

On December 19th, 2010- Latin Jazz Diana-mite won 2nd place in the team division at the second annual Japan Salsa Cup competition - see http://japan-salsa.org/japancup.html

There were over 10 teams in this division and they judged us on technique, performance, costume, audience reaction, and timing.  We lost by only two points.  Last year we won first place, so although we were disappointed we could not defend our title, we were ecstatic that we could place again.  Maybe we needed a few more hoots and howls from the crowd to give us the extra two points so we could have won!

The choreography was mainly done by myself, and Kike helps me with the beginning and the end.  He knows how to put the cherry on the top and how to go in and out with a bang! I love how we artists can all collaborate with each other. And Kike really works with me on my concept and his image of how the costume can be done. I always have a design or color in mind, then I have him listen to the music, and it blows my mind what creation he imagines to make us look longer, stronger, and more FABulously sexy when we dance! Always always, a big big thank you from the bottom of our hearts, brother!  Thank you dancers, too!  

On Friday, in Latin Choreography and Performance class, anyone can join to learn styling and movement for sexy Latin vibes.  Not all students are from Diana-mite team, so it is an open class.  If you love Latin movement, and want to learn how to be sexy and free in performing, come on Fridays 8:30-10p.m.-- a great way to end the week and begin the weekend!
