My first dance experience began a couple of years ago when I enrolled in Katy Fineman's Ballroom Dance Class at IUPUI. We learned several types of dances including Waltz, Cha-cha, East & West Coast Swing as well as a couple of country line dances. After the semester ended, Katy asked me to join the IUPUI SwingCat Dance Club. Since then, we have performed many events including the Ballroom Bash, C.A.S.H Bash and other local events.

As for Salsa dancing, I started taking group lessons at the Red Room towards the tail end of December of 2005 (by the way, thanks to Lindy for telling me about the Red Room). Shortly after that, I auditioned for the Into Salsa Student Performance Team. I remember being so excited when I was asked to join the team. On top of that, I had the opportunity to dance/work with a great group of people; especially my wonderful partner Yoshimi; who often danced so well that she made me look good.

Well, it's near the end of August and after five amazing performances by our team, Yoshimi has moved on (back to Japan), and I have been asked to join the Dance Company. And again, I am looking forward to working with a great group of talented dancers.

I just want to say thanks to Erin and Yang for giving me, as well as other students, the opportunity to work with great instructors on an awesome team. You two demonstrate strong leadership skills and display genuine interest in the progress of your students.

Also thanks to Yoshimi for being patient and caring. I will miss you.

Finally, thanks to Katy. When I hear the word 'dance', I most often think of you.
