Until Next Time

A great friend of mine, my dance partner of nearly three years, Karina Marcelo – one of Indy's finest salseras – is moving away from Indianapolis. It's been an honor and a pleasure for me to dance with her and share all those times together rehearsing, learning, growing, traveling, performing, and competing; and of course all the lifting, flipping, and outrageous theatrical tricks she trusted me to do with her – and which she did ever so gracefully. Karina, I wish you all the happiness life can offer in every endeavor and direction your heart leads you.

With love,

Chad

I'd like to invite everyone to send her your regards.

Wishing you the best wherever life takes you and in all you do! Your smile is uplifting and will brighten anyone's day that comes in contact with you. It's been a pleasure to know you. Good Luck on life's journey and God bless and keep you!

Your performances were like passion in motion. Dancing with you was pure joy. I wish you the best that life has to offer.

Out of all of the people I've met, I can honestly say that you are one of the few, true ladies I've known. Everything about you says class, intelligence, and strength. I look up to you, and would be grateful to achieve half of the grace you exhibit everyday. I don't need to wish you good luck and blessings, because you are one.

Hi Karina!!! Where are you going? We miss you!! Jill is moving to Lansing, MI, and wants to know if that is where you are going???
- Cheryl and Jill

Karina, it has been a pleasure knowing you, watching you perform and admiring the many qualities you possess shine on the dance floor. You are truly a special lady and my prayer is that you continue to be blessed wherever life takes you.

We love you, Karina, and we're sending blessings and all the very best in your new life! I'll miss photographing that beautiful smile and the boundless exuberant energy that shows in all that you do.

My warmest wishes, Karina. I'm sure the winds of the world will take you beautiful places and that there will always be dancing :)

Dear Karina, (Great name, that's my 3yr old granddaughter's name too!) We have watched you and Chad dance over the years and have truly enjoyed your enthusiasm for salsa through your lively and graceful movements. In my dreams I dance just like you do...well it is a nice goal for me anyway. We wish you the very best. Sincerely, Larry and Sara Myers.
