OpenSourceSalsa Close for Business?

Today I noticed that OpenSourceSalsa (OSS) took down its homepage. For those who did not know them, OSS was a Rueda performance team based in Indianapolis. They were building a good portfolio of public performances and their site was active with information on their upcoming performances and also promoting the activities of their members (dance instruction, salsa parties).

In the last few months I noticed a change with their site - the frequency that they posted new content was almost non-existant. I was told that the group was in need of men, which could have accounted for the stagnation of the group. I have seen this with women who want to perform, but cannot find a man who is willing to practice. I addressed this issue over a year ago in Looking for a few good Salseros.

Last week, I noticed an updated post on OSS’s site advertising their upcoming performance in Anderson, Indiana. I was happy to see the group ramping back up for the summer. I was confused as to why the post did not give any details (exact location and time). I thought it was just an oversight by the webmaster or a private event.

I hope that this is only temporary and that the group is just re-organizing. I know how hard it can be to run a group. It can be very difficult to maintain the motivation level for both the leaders and the members. For now I will keep OSS’s link on SalsaIndy’s homepage in hopes that the site comes back up.

Update: As you can see with the comment below that OSS is still up and running!
