Less than 24 hours...

Before the official kick-off of the Canada Salsa Congress here in Toronto... I know, I know... I haven't updated my blog in months and can't believe it's that time of year again! Last year I was prepping to go to Asia, but this year I'm staying put for our Thanksgiving weekend; so hopefully, I'll be able to see many of my salsa friends from across Canada and/or from around the World...

MJ - RIP...

As someone who loves music and dance, no one can deny that Michael Jackson was truly an inspiration for so many...

While surfing and remininscing, here are some clips of some of his best TV performances that made him an icon. This is just a tiny ripple of everything he did over his career, but brings back some "MJ moments"...

In his lyrics from Dangerous, he said it best... "Divinity in Motion".

Dangerous
Billie Jean

Not quite into the Groove... but Summer Salsa is definitely going to sizzle!

Real life has been keeping me busy and unfortunately away from the salsa scene, but at least I have SYTYCD to console me for now!

If you look at "What's Happening", there are tons of summer events and street festivals to choose from -- can't believe the no. of choices you have until the end of the season, along with the Canadian Salsa Festival in Ottawa on July 25-29! There's lots of instructors and performers I haven't seen in years!

Getting Back Into the Groove...

It's been awhile since you've seen any updates to the Rose Knows section since my computer crashed last Summer and could not decide on which new "toy" I would get until early this Year; and forgot how much work it is to set it up with new software!!! That's how time-consuming new gadgets can take of your time and trying to fit it into a new schedule where fitness workouts can easily outnumber salsa workouts!
