Shanghai, where Jessalyn Zoe hosted the Easter Mamboweekend! I was looking forward to going to China, because they also like toparty, and it had been 3 years since I was last there. You know how just abouteverything is made in China? Well, when you get to china you can buy it directat awesome prices! I picked up some new photography equipment, had suits made,electronic adapters and more. I couldn’t have done anything without the help ofKen and Armando, who have both been living in Shanghai for years. Ken is originallyfrom Japan, and Armando from Mexico city. I can’t thank them enough for theirhelp. It’s not easy getting around China when you don’t speak…um…Chinese. FromChina I had a long flight home, with changeovers in Tokyo and Newark, gettingme back to Miami at 10pm. Withsuch a short time to be home, I made sure I covered essentials. I had Cubanfood, IHOP, played beach volleyball, and then Vianette and I headed back to theairport for the home of the Steelers. That’s right, I’m talking about…. Pittsburgh for the Salsa Spring Spectacular with Shaka & Vianette, and Joe Fiueroa with Christy Kam, hosted by Jeff and Colleen Shirey of SalsaPittsburgh.com

Nina - Joe Cuba (Cheo Feliciano) - Boston Congress. This performance came about as a suggestion from Troy Anthony that Gordon Neil, Psyon Mauricio, Leon Rose, and Shaka Brown "put something together since all of you are here without partners". Luckily we were able to convince Maricza Valentin (Chicago) and Cristel Beijkirch (Holland), to work with us. We chose to split the song into sections and each person would be responsible for a part that the others would learn. Gordon and Psyon took the first part, with Leon and Shaka Brown on the second. We closed with everyone performing a shine section and set out to perform that night.
