			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WE LOVE TO DANCE; we love to socialize and meet people. Even shy ones feel comfortable in our friendly environment. Our goal is to get you moving in rhythm and to have FUN. Before you know it, you&#39;ll become a better leader or follower. Come check us out&#8211;Drops are always welcome.</p>
<p>HUMM.&hellip;Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. As you improve you can style up if you want.</p>
<p>WHERE AM I&hellip;.Always ask the instructor if he or she thinks you are ready to move up. Enjoy where you are at. It is a good place. There is no competition; to race to complete. Enjoy the process!</p>
<p>BE PATIENT: Don&#39;t push yourself too hard. It takes time for your body to get used to the rhythm and movement. Plus, there is a lot to learn at every level. When you&#39;re 100% confident, then you&#39;re ready to try the next level.</p>
<p>HYGENE HELPS&hellip;.Bring a towel or extra shirt, and PLEASE little to NO fragrance. Clean bodies do just fine.</p>
<p>Last but not least, don&#39;t come if you don&#39;t want to challenge yourself and have fun.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bailamos Salsa Rueda is a team of dancers who have a shared vision. Our goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for everyone to learn salsa, the music and meet great people. We are committed to seeing the growth and establishment of Salsa Rueda in our local and greater community.</p>
<p>We also feel strongly about working with other local groups in our extended family of salsa rueda dancer in the greater bay area. We desire to support and learn from each other creating bonds of trust and camaraderie.</p>
<p>We want to touch Santa Cruz with our love of Salsa Rueda. We want to see people enjoying themselves dancing in rhythm to the beat of salsa music all the while learning how to lead and follow moves that look fabulous.</p>
<p>Personal thoughts:<br />
	Bailamos Salsa Rueda teaches classes three nights a week to all levels of dancers at the Portuguese Hall by Harvey West Park and performs in the community for special events and fundraisers. As a dancer my history begins as a child. As an instructor of Israeli Folkdance it begins in my teens. By my twenties I was teaching and performing with a local troupe mostly for weddings and other functions. Exposed to several different styles of dance, salsa soon became my favorite. Eight years ago I began dancing and perfoming with Salsa Rueda Santa Cruz. Three years later I began one its primary instructors. Last year I and other instructors started Bailamos Salsa Rueda to offer more dancing opportunities to the people of Santa Cruz.<br />
