Three months after the last JSmooth Bachata Lesson, JSmooth and Maria are back for their special lesson in Bachata dancing.

 

The dancing is Latin, the location sounds German, but it’s all very Parisian.

This year, Spring is real cause for celebration and Salsa Fest Atlanta plans to kick off the party.

The first step in learning how to dance salsa is to lose your fear.

“Yes, it’s a little intimidating at first to see other people dancing like professionals,” says Enrique Arias, who a few days ago was taking a salsa class for beginners at the Tango del Rey nightclub. “I still don’t feel totally comfortable, but I’m starting to get better.”

Robyn Mundy is a true Texas cowgirl who has won fans with her electric stage presence and voice as big as Texas. With years of musical theater instruction mixed with raw yodeling talent, Robyn has entertained audiences from historical Brandon Missouri to the western shores of California. With her perfect pitch and clear yodeling break, Robyn has had the chance to perform with such greats as the legendary Kitty Wells, the late yodeling King Don Walser, Johnny Gimble, and fiddlin’ Frenchie Burke, just to name a few.

Sidewalks were still icy and another snow storm was brewing, but that didn’t stop about 150 salseros from coming out Monday to Brasil’s Nightclub in support of a fund-raiser for Haiti earthquake victims. The “Hope for Haiti” event raised more than $5,300, more than 130 pairs of shoes and more than 100 pairs of  lightly-worn jeans were donated.
