About Myself

Welcome to IndySalsa's public blog. To give a small introduction of myself, my name is Marques and I am an active salsa dancer in my mid 20s. I have been dancing salsa for around 2 years and have been in love with it ever since I first began. I moved from Detroit to Indianapolis about 3 years ago for my career. I was bored out of my mind; hanging out in the bars was fun, but I always felt like something was missing. It was not until I found salsa that I really felt at home in Indianapolis. In a city where diversity can be somewhat rare, the salsa community is a wealth of cultures, dialects and colors. I have made many friends in this community and even found love a couple of times.

As with all hobbies, I have a tendency to take things to the next level. I currently teach salsa lessons and own a dance studio called IndySalsa Latin Dance Studio in downtown Indy. The studio was formerlly known as the Red Brick Dance Studio and was owned by a guy named Tee. Tee left Indy about a year ago and the studio was then closed. A small handful of salsa dancers decided to re-open and remodel the studio. It has been over 9 months sinse we opened the studio, and it has been a great experience. I want to give a big thanks to Adriane, Thomas, Mathias, Patrick and Jean for making all of this possible.

I also help run IndySalsa.com, a website for Salsa and Latin dancing in Indianapolis. There are also salsa video clips, tons of photos and Latin music samples.

There you have it! See you on the dance floor.
