High School Musicale

Enthusiasm and passion.
This is was the intersection last Saturday where the Canton-Plymouth High School Salsa Club met YA Salsa. The kids at Canton-Plymouth created their own salsa club to promote unity and understanding of Latino culture and they of course love to dance! That is where YA Salsa came into the picture.

After their annual dance show, the Canton Plymouth Salsa Club finished off Saturday evening with a potluck dinner and a social of their own. We had a nice turnout of about 15 dancers from the Detroit area as well as our guest instructors Johnny & Andres Giradaldo from Boston and Chezron from Colombus Ohio and topped it off with a group of terrific dancers from Toronto who came to hang out and dance for the weekend.

One of the great highlights of the evening was not just Johnny & Andres' performance, but that the reception for the the audience was so overwhelming and positive. In addition we got a chance to dance with the students and their teachers and even provide an impromptu lesson on the basics.

A round of thanks and applause to Jamin for all of the work he did to make this happen for us and the students. As if simply arranging the YA side of the event wasn't enough: Jamin did this in addtion to the normal routine of Friday Nights at the Harem and the YA Salsa workshops all day Saturday. The then was the first guy over at the High School setting up the DJ equipment -- all the while knowing that the YA Salsa Social was the next day. A month of planning and a whole weekend of nothing but providing salsa for the masses. Where else can you find this kind of energy and dedication?

I hope we made a great impression on everyone at Canton-Plymouth; letting them see how dancing and music can be passions for life. In addition to them continuing their social we certainly hope to see them at the YA Salsa Social too.



Thanks to everyone who came out and made it happen!
