Happy Easter

We Dance In America
"With Firm Reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence"

"Be On Guard. Stand Firm In The Faith. Be Courageous. Be Strong and Do Everything With Love."
1 Corinthians 16: 13-14

Message to Our Students

Dear All,

The Spring/Summer is upon us and so are the wonderful dancers of Salsa and Latin Dance In Tampa, Florida. First I want to say, I cannot believe we are living here. The weather is so lovely. We certainly dont miss the winters of the mid-Atlantic! We are truly grateful to be here with you all. Thank you God!

So over the last three months we have taught lessons, danced, practiced, and performed at the State Fair and for the Pasco/Hernando Hispanic Chambers of Commerce. We are preparing to dance for Alzheimer's patients on May 4th. The Angels have been working hard on their Fan/Hat routine and will, no doubt, be performing by mid-year. I will be on tour for part of April at Ms. Teen USA and The NJ International Salsa Congress. Let me know if you want to purchase a pass. Also, I will be teaching at the Unity Dance Festival in Orlando Florida so if you want to purchase tickets go to http://bahhari.com/ and tell them Dancing With Grace sent you!

We hope that during the Easter holiday you take the time reflect on all that Christ did for us. Thank you Jesus; all the Glory is yours! God Bless You All and make sure to keep dancing with modesty out there no matter where you may go; be it the club, a party, a wedding or any other social situation. Try to be an example of goodness and kindness everywhere you go, even if you are the only one trying!

Happy Easter and God Bless You All!

Sincerely,
Grace, Hugo, & Roberto

Grace Receives The National Presidential Volunteer Service Award from President Bush!

Grace’s Salsa Tips

Grace's Salsa Tips

Tip #1: Facebook: What does Facebook have to do with dance? Dance companies everywhere are abandoning websites and using Facebook to advertise. I even have a page. Because salsa dancers and schools are interconnected on facebook, we get to read each other's tidbits from time to time. I think a good salsa tip this month is, if you have nothing positive to say, dont say anything. I have seen teachers create intense drama by complaining about other instructors, dancers and schools; it really does no good at all, but instead creates drama and invites others to be negative as well. If you are angry, be an adult and discuss it with the person and not all of the world on Facebook; a lot of the time, it is gossip or miscommunication and talking about it with the person will likely SQUASH the problem all together. PEACE be unto you.

Tip #2: OUCH!: Guys, we need to be very careful. I am assuming, because this is happening to me in social situations that it is happening to a lot of women out there. I dance with a nice person and suddenly he turns me and BAM!!!!! I get hit in the head. He doesnt even say "are you okay?" or "I'm so sorry" Guys, if you are hitting the girl, it's likely because you are getting too far from her extending your arm on the turn; she is likely also wearing high heeled dance shoes which can add to the problem. Stay close, but a respectful distance to your partner and you will not cause OUCHies anymore. If you do hit her by mistake, apologize while dancing and make sure she isnt hurt. Be a GENTLEman LOL!

They taught modest versions of the Salsa, Merengue, Cha-Cha, Bachata, Dance Moves, and Sedentary Dance to the elderly. Grace even had the opportunity to be the Master of Ceremonies of the Florida State Fair Dance Sport Festival held by Debra Loran at the Fair. It was a lovely time had by all.

Forgotten Children March & Flashmob!

 

It was a delight for us to help an incredible organization place a light on the need for more foster parents in Hillsborough County. Grace, Mercedes, and Roberto taught a group of students and committee members a mini dance to do a Flash Mob Dance right in the middle of their kick off party at the Tampa Bay Museum of Art. It was, not only, a lot of fun, but a super honor for us to make it happen. Afterwards on Sept. 24th, we also did a special march at their festival where Mercedes and Roberto performed. I want to thank Mercedes and Roberto for being so selfless; I am very proud of you for not only using dance as a vehicle to teach people how to live but how to love. BRAVO! Check out the Forgotten Children March photos and the Flashmob photos in our Photo Gallery!

Spotlight: We have a new Website!

As you all know Grace is writing a book called "Is Dancing A Sin?" based on the article below in Topic #6. She created a website specifically for her book. Please check it out and sign Grace's guestbook today at: www.IsDancingASin.com.









Last Month's Scoop of the Month: Schools Unite to Fund Raise For Diamond Dancers & Dancing With Grace Receives Recognition In Tampa!

       

Recently Diamond Dancers International experienced a devastating accident to one of their prima dancers. His injury necessitated major surgery. Dancing With Grace worked hard to promote their impending need and inspired other schools to do fundraisers to help them raise money to pay for their expenses during this difficult time. Roberto Lira of DWG donated I Love Salsa Mugs to raise funds and we were able to help the family. Thank you to every school and individual across Florida and the USA that helped Sonia's family. Sonia teaches at her new studio on N. Dale Mabry. Check them out on facebook by searching for Diamond Dancers Tampa or email Sonia Rivera at diamonddancers2004@yahoo.com

When we do fundraisers, its our privilege to help, but once in a great while someone gives us a little recognition. Sonia gave us a lovely award that read:

"For your hard work in the salsa community using dance as a means of promoting faith and social work. Your charisma and good faith not only help but inspire many others to follow your dream of salsa with a purpose. God Bless you and your wonderful team!"
Sonia Rivera and Arturo Gonzalez

St. Louis Salsa Congress: A Spiritual Journey

Not all people like to hear that a lot of mambos have pagan roots, but at the St. Louis Salsa Congress, Grace gave a workshop on just this subject. Mambo has a history of ritualistic pagan worship. Its music is layered with many references to evil spirits that people sing and pray to, to this very day. As a dance educator I work hard to tell people that not all Mambo/Salsa songs come from a good place. A very large percentage of music out in the main stream are not singing about good things, but glorifying Chango, Babalu Aye and other evil spirits and not the true God, Jesus Christ. At this congress, I taught on the subject and had students who were very grateful to understand this important topic. Would you dance to a song about suicide? Not likely! You would change the song to something better right? Salsa/Mambo songs that sing about lusting after your neighbors wife, sex, drugs, or evil spirits are something you shouldn't be dancing to; the excuse "I don't know the language; I just dance to whatever", is an attitude we should avoid. Feel free to ask people, "what is this song saying, what is it about?" Get good music to dance to and request it when you go out.

Try these Salsa Artists:
Bobby Cruz, Richie Ray, Orchestra Libertad, Grupo Gale and many many more! These guys are Christians and sing happy music. We only teach to music that is positive; so the next time you dance and feel weird on the floor: its your spirit saying STOP!!!!!!!! Don't just dance for the sake of dancing. Know what you are dancing to and feel peace while dancing! Check out www.IsDancingASin.com for other interesting articles and information!

Veterans Dance Too!

Grace went to the VA Hospital to entertain the troops who are wheelchair bound and had a great time. We put up televisions with videos of dance performances, performed a demonstration solo dance, did classes for them to watch their nurses fumble around on the floor & danced with them in their wheelchairs. She even brought Ms. Bella to the event and the guys just loved her to pieces! Grace made sure to tell all of the men that they will have a new body in heaven with Christ and to save a dance for her! Two weeks after this photo was taken, Mr. Kingsford died and met his savior in heaven! To use salsa for a reason join us today! Check out the Salsa4aReason X Photos.

 6. Is Dancing A Sin?

Have you ever wondered if dance is a sin? Many of us have been taught about God (the creator of Heaven & Earth). What does He say about Dance? To read Grace's article, "Is Dancing A Sin" click here: Check out www.IsDancingASin.Com to learn more.

Testimonials about our instruction and emails I received about this article:

 

My name is B and I attended the Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced level workshops that you were gracious enough to give at the University of Tampa this past weekend. I have lived in Tampa all of my life and have been dancing salsa for just shy of 10 years.  Salsa is what I call my long lost love. Growing up in a family that has no Latin background and little of the culture, I spent my childhood mesmerized by what I called the "bongo beat", only to learn later in my twenties that it had a name -and that was Salsa.  Since then Salsa has become and always will be very dear to my heart as it is something that I have loved all of my life but was introduced to it only a few years ago.

 I started learning here in Tampa and have been blessed to grow enough in it to dance socially. In the beginning, dancing was so enjoyable and  I felt as though I was finally in place where I belonged. It was what I thought was an excellent way to meet others and really participate in what most lyrics in salsa encourage- the celebration of life, freedom and loved ones.  A few years ago, however, the vibe in Tampa changed and it became more of a "show down" than it was just enjoyment of  the music and the dance. For me, where I used to be a very liberated dancer, I became very self conscious because it seemed that I was not "eligible" to dance with anyone unless I danced at a certain level. What was once enjoyable became extremely intimidating and it started to show in my dancing.  For that reason, it has been almost 5 years since I have danced socially and it has been such a sore spot because salsa is such a part of me that  I have had to ignore a huge part of who I am for so long.

Coming to your workshop was the first time in a long time . I must tell you that it was HUGELY REFRESHING not only to be back in the rapture of salsa but to hear  you speak of modesty. In your class, I instantly felt at home and that I did not have to be ashamed to let salsa manifest in me the way God designed. Before your class, I had convinced  myself that I was not "good enough" to dance salsa because I didn't dance at the level of other dancers. It was such a blessing to learn from you and be reminded that God's goodness is in everything and He placed you and your team in my path to go back to doing one of the many I know is in my heart...Salsa. Thank you for your presence, your blessing of reminded modesty and encouragement. If more instructors placed emphasis on modesty and the true essence of Salsa, multitudes of more people would have the chance to experience and know just how truly wonderful salsa is. Thank you for inspiring me to come back out of my shell and go back to doing what I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

B

Dear Grace,

Wow! I am convinced that you have a mission from God.  He places each one of us in strategic places to reach out to individuals that otherwise would not hear of Him.  You are destined for something big and many will join in.  What a strategic tool! God goes beyond our imagination.  Just trust Him and let's continue to promote, advertise, invite, spread the word.  This is big and will be huge.  All the glory goes to Him. Yesssssss!

Hi Grace-

I loved your article on dancing.   I grew up being told it was a sin…so I was prohibited from dancing.   So guess what I wanted to do most of my life?  Yep!

BTW…Is there a sinful form of dancing?…of course.   And there is a sinful form of eating, driving cars, watching TV, recreating etc.

I loved your take on the issue.   Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned and experienced.

As a Baptist Minister, and Christian radio Talk show host I now enjoy dancing with my wife…and I DON’T CARE anymore what the legalists say.

Neil
PS  I’m not much of a dancer…but it’s fun, and I hate the fact that the enemy tried to steal it from God’s people.  Well, I am committed to taking it back! 

Testimonial: It was nice to meet teachers that believe in the Lord and arent afraid to tell people whats not appropriate for us to be doing on the floor. Most people dont want to hear it, but it does need to be said. Its refreshing to see teachers that care about my spiritual well being and teachers that pray for us when we arent around. I dont pray much, but I sure did appreciate it.
