Salsa Event a Success
11/24/03

More than a hundred people showed up at the quad area of PCC and watched the Candela Salsa event last Thursday. There was music, dancing, dance performances and an exciting dance competition. There was performances by Eduardo's beginner class. The students did a warm up routine and then some footwork. Eduardo himself performed with his dance partner, Dorothy Tsu who wowed the audience with their choreography. It started off as a cha cha routine and ended with Salsa. Eduardo displayed some impressive dancing ability. Also performing was Carlos and Nancy who had an exciting routine.

And then there was the most exciting part of the event, the salsa competition. All contestants went on the dance floor to show off their 'skills' while the crowed watched. The winners were determined by audiece applause. The final round of the event was a tense moment as the audience struggled to determine who their favorite couple was. The contestants were all such great dancers so it was difficult to decide.

The first place winners received a stereo boombox. Second place won free Salsa lessons from Candela instructor, Eduardo Casso. And third place winner won Charanga Cubana CD and passes to the salsa club, 'Steven's Steak House'. After that, Twila was recognized for her outstanding contributions to the club. And then, of course, there was social dancing in the end where everyone was invited on the dance floor to dance and have fun. The event was successful and the Candela club hopes that they could make the event even better for next year.
