Greetings!

gian_mashaGian & Masha are back from teaching workshops and performing in tropical Queensland, more precisely - Mackay! It was a very special experience as the event organizer and the Latin Madness members (Latin Madness is a non-profit dance club, not a studio or school) requested that Gian & Masha only do a salsa workshop dedicated to the basics, fundamentals and the structure of salsa dancing - although the majority of the member had been dancing salsa for quite some time.

mackay_workshopThe "workshop" became a 4-hour Salsa Basics bootcamp! Gian & Masha's unique and precise teaching methods of the basics were extremely well received. People even took photos of the salsa basics and timing diagram that was drawn up on the board. The feedback was incredible - so good in fact that Gian & Masha have already been booked again for next year!
 
The lead up to the event was quite something too with the local newspaper - The Daily Mercury -  running not one, but 2x full page articles AND 2x 1/4 page news articles about Gian & Masha's visit! Click here to view one of the articles. Please note that there is a mistake in the write up. Gian & Masha are most definitely Asia-Pacific Salsa Champions, just not the current ones.

gian_boysThe big full page article has been framed and will be up in the studio - it looks like the opening of a movie! Next time you pop by the studio, make sure you have a look at the article. As always, Gian and Masha made sure New Zealand Salsa was well represented and noticed in Queensland over the weekend!
 
See you dancing real soon!
