Grace’s Salsa Tips
Tip #1: Ever experience a bad dance instructor or bad lesson? Before giving up on salsa all together please realize that finding a good dance instructor is like finding a car to buy. You wouldnt just buy your car by looking at it; you would take it for a test drive right? Try every instructor in town and pick the one that suits you the best. We all have different personalities and shouldnt give up on salsa just because of one or two bad experiences. Keep trying and find the right instructor for you! I promise, he or she is out there!
Tip#2: Ever get asked by your partner, "why arent you doing it right?" recently a student told me this happened to her socially. She was a beginner and he was trying to do doubles with her; she felt so bad and all he did was make her feel worse. Ladies, dont worry about it! It is the leaders responsibility to dance to YOUR LEVEL not his own. If someone makes you feel bad about not doing something to his standards realize that if he were a considerate partner he would never push you to do more than you can or make you feel bad about your skill level! Move on sister... and do it with kindness, mercy and a smile! |

New Jersey Dancin Dreams: Grace has been announced as the lead instructor for the 2009 New Jersey Dancin Dreams and is a partner of the 2010 New Jersey International Salsa Congress in April.
What is New Jersey Dancin' Dreams?
 It is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for fun, cost-effective therapeutic interventions, and youth development programs for vulnerable populations including children with disabilities and special populations such as inner-city kids and orphans. The New Jersey Dancin' Dreams will launch a series of projects, with the very first one to be held between April 22 to 25, 2010. Grace Badillo, co-founder with husband Hugo of Dancing with Grace Productions, Inc. and recipient of the 2008 President's Volunteer Service Award, will be the lead volunteer instructor for the dance workshops for children with autism.

Time: 7:30 pm - 10:30pm
Where: Rizing Starz Dance Studio, 4244 Waters Avenue, Tampa, FL
(white building w/blue awnings) across the street from Subway.
What are the DWG Angels?
The DWG Angels will be a group of dancers dedicated to entertaining the general public but more importantly the charities the group is inspired to help. In previous years DWG has helped many organizations through dance (checkout some of the organization DWG and volunteers have helped in the past). This team will not be dancing for personal pride or to please and satisfy egos. This group will consist of believers of God Almighty. This dance team will dance for the disabled, orphans, elderly, rape vicitms, the sick, poor, homeless, & poor in spirit. All faiths, colors, shapes and sizes are welcomed!
Level of Dancers:
DWG is looking for intermediate/advanced dancers. Since some of you are on the brink of being intermediates, we expect that you prepare and practice dancing alone and/or take as many lessons as possible to be ready before you audition. You can take lessons with us or any other dance company that teaches salsa that makes you feel comfortable. Our dance lessons are on Wednesday evenings (see schedule below) and caters to all levels.
The best thing about being in (our dance group) is the unity we will all feel within the group and everybody sharing the love of dance and the joy of giving to others. We work together towards the same goal. What's the reward? Giving of our personal talents to make others feel joy, feel love, and know that they are not alone in their trials, but that we and God are with them.
Our dance group will perform for many different events and we may even have the opportunity to be televised and invited to perform all over the United States. You will experience, friendship, love, laughs, support and joy. There will be no vanity, drama or malicious gossip about other dance groups tolerated. This is meant to challenges you to greatness within. Team members must be able to deal with constructive criticism or be asked to leave the group. Please read my article: The Use of Constructive Criticism in Dance Education.
Audition Cost: $10
All dancers will be expected to follow a miniature footwork combination and do a few basic salsa dips that we will go over. There will be no cabaret (lifts or splits) expected at this audition. Please note that there are many dancers that have done great in auditions that are beginners. All that some of you need is good instruction. During this audition we will take things nice and slow and progress. No one will be left behind (we will have 3 instructors at the auditions). Give it a try!
Schedule:
7:30-8:30 pm - Scheduled Interviews
8:30-9:00 pm - Presentation
9:00-10:30 pm - Audition
What to Bring:
4 x 6 photo with statistics on the back (height/weight (dont worry ladies, I weight 165! ha ha) dance shoes for audition, (Water Provided).
Group Training/Practices:
Practices will cost $5 each and be once a week on various days that fit the group's schedule; all practices must be paid in advance and are not refundable. DWG will offset the rest of the floor fee for all practices. Most floor fees in studios range from $10-25 per person. FYI: DWG will not make money off these lessons. This will be for the floor fee only; we will pay the rest of everyone's floor fees for them. If God blesses you and you want to pay for everyone's floor fee one day then Thank YOU LORD! ha ha
We hope to see you and cant wait to meet people who care enough to share their talents with others!
Sincerely,
The DWG Team

Learning to dance alone can truly make you look confident, stylish and crisp. Learning when to do these footwork patterns in the music will show everyone that you don’t just dance salsa, you know salsa!

5. Is Dancing A Sin?
Have you ever wondered if dance is a sin? Many of us have been taught about God (the creator of Heaven & Earth). What does He say about Dance? To read Grace's article, "Is Dancing A Sin" click here:
Grace would love to know your opinion. Email her at grace@dancingwithgrace.com
Check out the last email I received about this article:
Hi Grace-
I loved your article on dancing. I grew up being told it was a sin…so I was prohibited from dancing. So guess what I wanted to do most of my life? Yep!
BTW…Is there a sinful form of dancing?…of course. And there is a sinful form of eating, driving cars, watching TV, recreating, etc.
I loved your take on the issue. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned and experienced.
As a Baptist Minister, and Christian radio Talk show host I now enjoy dancing with my wife…and I DON’T CARE anymore what the legalists say.
Neil
PS I’m not much of a dancer…but it’s fun, and I hate the fact that the enemy tried to steal it from God’s people. Well, I am committed to taking it back!
