 Extreme-Salsa & iMambotv Annual Party – Hosted byJonathan & Hana, this was my 7th trip to Japan! I love going toJapan, and this time I was able to almost quadruple my fluency of the Japaneselanguage! I now know almost 5 phrases, though I am still quite shaky onunderstanding the responses. Either way, you don’t need to speak Japanese to know that the Japaneseare extreme about everything they do, and that includes dancing Salsa! This was the first time in Japan for some, and we made a video of peoples first impressions of Japan and Japanese culture based on their 24 hour experience.

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.
