Dear TDS Friends!
The time has come to battle it out on the dance floor for the champion title at our Fourth Annual Toronto Dance Salsa Amateur Competition. Last year we had some amazing couples compete for some serious loot and the results were fantastic!
Both rounds are confirmed to take place at Six Degrees Nightclub at Yonge & Eglinton on the following dates:
Preliminary Round – Sunday April 25th at 7pm
Final Round – Sunday June 20th at 7pm
If you are a level 3 and up student, helper or assistant registered or assisting in the spring 2010 semester at TDS who has not been paid to teach your own salsa class or perform, then you qualify! Don’t get discouraged that you are still in the learning phase – everyone else will be in that phase also and remember that a competition will increase your confidence, showmanship and skills tenfold.
The preliminaries are freestyle which means you do not have to choreograph the performance as you won’t know the song you are performing to although you can practice together, decide on how you will enter and exit, and what dips and tricks you will add to the dance, etc.
To assist you Evan Carmichael has offered a free private lesson to each couple who enters the competition to assist them in preparation! Five couples will move on to the finals where the finalists will choreograph a 2.5 minute routine to their song choice.
More details can be found on our website. Please email us if you are interested in participating at [email protected]. We will accept up to 15 couples.
We are also looking for companies who would like to sponsor the event. Gift certificates, dance shoes, music, travel vouchers, congress passes, lessons, cash prizes, restaurant certificates and much more are needed – please let us know if you can sponsor a prize or collect prizes.
We will be sending an official Anyvite with evening details closer to April 25th so just save the dates.
Email us with any questions and good luck to all the competitors!!
