I’ve always been a passionate creative person that loves to try new experiences. So when a good friend of mine invited me to hang out at the Jazz Kitchen in December of 2004, I was excited to do something. After recently graduating from college and moving to Indy from nowhere Indiana, I thought it would be a cool new experience. If only I knew! It was an instant passion/obsession. I soon became a regular at the Jazz Kitchen. Even if it meant dragging myself out of bed to teach art to a bunch of kids the next morning.

Learning the steps was simple, but the rest??? After stumbling around on the floor, I decided I needed lessons if dancing was going to be enjoyable. I made it through beginner classes at IndySalsa. I felt some comfort on the dance floor, but I still was not feeling the music. So I got my hands on any salsa mix I could and listened every chance I got. After some time, I felt I needed something different. I started taking lessons at IntoSalsa. I felt an almost instant change. Yang made understanding so much easier. Patterns started to feel more comfortable and I could feel the music within my soul. Though I’ve learned lots, there is so much more I am anxious to learn. And I can’t wait!
