Yes, I’m on my way to the 2nd Sydney Bachata Festival…

It’s hard to believe that the year went so fast! Just a year ago, I flew for 14 hours to Sydney and stayed with Nestor and Lidia. It was one of the most fun and unforgettable experience for me.

I stayed there for one week and every night, I mean, EVERY NIGHT, there was salsa and mind you, every night was good with great dancers!

Another thing about salseros and bachateros in Australia is that they’re welcoming and accomodating. And did I mention that they dance everything? You name it, Kizomba, Zouk, Salsa, Casino, Mambo, Merengue and of course, BACHATA!

Juan, Skye, Nestor and Lidia in particular along with Modus Vivendi members are just hospitable as ever.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Juan Ruiz at the Reno Bachata Convention and I’m excited to hang out with Nestor, Lidia and yes, Juan again, at the SF Bachata Festival on July 2009. But let’s talk about April’s Bachata fest in Sydney…

4EVER is in da house! I have been enjoying their music since January ever since Juan gave me their CD and I can’t wait to see them perform LIVE.

And if you want to check out the schedule for the festival - http://www.bachatafestival.com.au, I’ll be teaching two workshops that you shouldn’t miss!

They have a total of 16 top teachers in the world - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=54369360847&ref=ts

I’m bringing some of my dance members with me (Jose and Elena), I want them to experience Sydney dance scene.

So Juan, Nestor, Skye, Lidia and to all the participants of Sydney Bachata Fest, here’s to another successful year…Ill see you very soon!
