About The Salsa Shack
Dance Visionaries...
T.S.S. is in search of children, teens and young adults (males & females) ages 6 - 18 years of age who are interested in being apart of a Dance & Production Company.
This will be an excellent opportunity for self evaluation, esteem and growth as well as exposure and experience with large groups, public speaking, performances and more. Individuals of ALL Nationalities are welcome.
Our vision is to expose children & young adults and those lives that they touch to the wonders and similarities in our various cultural backgrounds through dance.
We invite you to come and expand your hidden talents.
Dance Instruction information can be found under 2007 Winter Dance Lessons...
Undisputed Info...
Having a partner in a school, social or party setting is always fun but a large part of the learning experience is the enjoyment one gets from dancing with others of different and similar abilities. So, don't worry about coming alone or with your friends; we'll be rotating partners regularly.
We are located in MADISON, WI and hope to attract the vibrant, energetic and dedicated individuals of this community. Prerequisites for the dance company include your love of dance (of course), improvisation, and you must audition; that's it! No previous lessons are necessary. Within this co-ed environment kids and young adults will learn agility, increase their socialization skills, flexibility, and inner and outer strength.
Consistent attendance in school and progress reports/report cards must be kept in satisfactory mode.
There will be No Exceptions to this rule. So, bring a piece of your heritage to the table and drop us a line with your interest!

What started you dancing: One Saturday morning while living in NY my mother said I couldn't go outside for some reason or another; I sat down to watch an old movie. This woman came on screen with her midriff showing, her hair wrapped up and her SHOES! SUCH FABULOUS SHOES! I watched that movie in full not even getting up to use the ladies room. After that I must've checked out every book on Rio, samba, Carmen Miranda from the public library for 2 weeks straight!
In truth Samba was my first love of Latin music; I did however learn salsa & merengue by watching all the teenagers at all the block parties...
