 LDA
at the LA Salsa Congress 2004
After 5 mind-blowing days and nights of incredible
shows from the worlds best Tropical Gem, Edie
& Al, Los Rumberos, Eddie Torres Dance
Company, Salsa Brava, and many more; countless
workshops for shines, turn patterns, tricks,
ladies styling and others; and incredible
salsa parties where you could dance till you
drop. Our dancers proved to be very popular
amongst the internationals, in particular
our golden girls Yvonne and Patricia who were
considered the most popular Salseras on the
dance floor.
Latin
Dance Australia was scheduled to perform on
Saturday night, the night reserved only for
the best of the best. Earlier that day our
team warmed up on stage prior to performing
later that evening and just from the strength
of that performance we were invited to perform
at the 2004 UK Salsa Congress. How cool is
that!
 The
stage was set. It was a full house with over
3,000 die hard dance enthusiasts, with not
one seat left to spare. By Saturday everyone
had heard of or was talking about the ‘Twins
from Oz’ or ‘the Magic Twins’
that they’ve now been coined. Our team
Jaime, Patricia, Nestor and Yvonne were on
fire and ready to rock. Yvonne and Patricia
came out and set the scene with their awesome
performance that got the crowd pumping. Jaime
was then placed in the Magic box and when
he re-appeared both he and Nestor came out
and the entire audience erupted in a sea of
astonishment thinking Jaime was doubled. They
then rocked the audience with their awesome
Salsa Magic routine that till this day has
everyone talking. What a wrap! Below see the
comments we received from the best dancers
in the world:
 Al
“liquid silver” Espinoza.(LA on1)
– ‘that was the bomb guys, that
had had everything, you guys were awesome’.
Edie
“the Salsa freak” (LA0n1) –
‘That was unbelievable; it had everything
that was truly millennium style’.
Stracy
Diaz (NY on2) – ‘amazing show
guys that was clean, it had great dancing
and very entertaining I loved it, it was awesome’.
Joby
“Brava” Martinez (LA on1) –
‘that was amazing; people will talk
about that show for a long time it was very
original’.
Jesus
Apontes (NY on2) – ‘What can I
say that was brilliant, loved every bit of
it’.
Our
team did us proud and we are glad to have
them back. They are literally bursting at
the seams with all the new material they have
brought back from LA. Look out for the new
workshops coming soon! See them this weekend
at Saturday Night Salsa.
