The Big Dance
I'm not going to make a decisive statement on the Big Dance. It's the type of event to which the Detroit Salsa scene should aspire - a frilly, high profile, dress up event. While not nearly as big as it could be, with the Big Dance, MSDA attempts to do a very difficult thing - bring ballroom, swing, tango and salsa together and in that effort was somewhat successful.

Saturday, October 20, 2007, MDSA and The BIG DANCE take over the the Masonic Temple in Detroit, with FOUR ballrooms of dancing including ballroom, swing, sala and tango. This is a first class event aiming to bring together dancers of all styles into a full day of workshops, performances, competitions and social dancing.
For Detroit, Windsor and Ann Arbor salseros, this is a great opportunity to try out other modes of dancing with some of the Detroit area's top instructors.
