Hello, I’m home from Russia! And today I’m very excited to share our CUBA site takeover on Salseek! (www.salseek.com) This past April my good friend Natalie and I had the opportunity to go to Havana to learn about Cuban dance and music and the roots of Salsa.  We met wonderful dancers who taught us dance techniques and the history of many of Cuba’s dance styles including: Casino, Rueda, and Afro-Cuban folkloric dance and music.  It was a whirlwind of a week.  I learned to dance! We ate, we swam, we walked the streets of La Habana and we came home with stories to share that we are now very proud to share with all of you!If you have a moment, please take a look at www.salseek.com.  There is much to see and read about, including articles, photos and our first video story about Rumba.  And throughout the month of August we’ll be sharing even more videos, stories and photos! Also, Friday August 19th we’re throwing a big bash to celebrate our work and experiences in Cuba at New York’s Hudson Terrace - the home of our monthly Salsa dance party with live music.  It will be a collaborative and multimedia experience in which we’ll share framed prints, video pieces, and more.  There will be live Cuban music by La Maquina Amarilla and DJ Alejandro, food, dancing, performances and workshops.  We’re really excited for this big event!  The festivities will then continue all weekend long with dance workshops on Saturday from 11am to 5pm at Nola Rehearsal Studios (250 West 54th Street) taught by talented dance teachers from Cuba (Yesenia Selier who we are featuring this month on Salseek!), from New York (Marlon International!) from Boston (Anara Frank!) and from Puerto Rico (Jay Salsa!) followed by a dinner party open to anyone who wants to come Saturday night at Amor Cubano with live music by Danny Rojo and, of course, more dancing!  Workshops continue on throughout the week.  More complete info. about our weekend and workshops is on Salseek: http://www.salseek.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=278:salseek-metamovements-present-project-cuba
