2006 World Salsa Championship Winners!

Here are the video clips of the 1st place winners for the 2006 ESPN World Salsa Championships. If you are ever interested in performing or competing, why not steal some moves from the best (if you can handle their level).

Chad and Karina (Indianapolis' own cabaret dancers) flew out to San Francisco to compete in the prelims. While they did not qualify for the finals I would like to give them credit for all the time and hard work they put in. In my opinion they were not ready for such a competition, but hopefully they take what they have learned and continue building experience and confidence competing here in the midwest.

People have asked if I was ever going to compete at such a level. This idea has bounced around in my mind for sometime and it would be a fun and exciting to pursue such a level of dancing. Then reality hits and I realize that I currently have a lot going on in my life (my day job, SalsaIndy, freelance IT, teaching/dancing salsa, social life, etc). I would have to put my other activities on hold to focus on performing which I am currently not interested in doing.

Maybe one day, I would change my mind and reprioritize, only time will tell.

Sorry for the rant (I have not blog in a while and had some stuff on my mind) here are the video clips.
