LAST CLASS IN SAMBAVERSARY SERIES: CELEBRATING 19 YEARS OF SAMBA LOVE!!!
😍19 years ago my Samba love story began…
It was on Sunday, May 4th, 2003 after a fun day at the beach with a friend that I was drawn to the Club Brasil night at Cafe Sevilla in San Diego, CA. I got dressed in my favorite dance pants (I still have those pants, since 2000. I’ll try to find the photo and share later), and headed over there. I was immediately greeted with warmth from the moment I walked down the stairs. People were speaking to me in a foreign language, walking up to me with smiles and kisses, and then I saw the most beautiful woman with incredible energy moving her feet so fast. I dropped my things off and joined her and others on the dance floor. It was a Rio style samba lesson being given by Maria Lane, a talented, passionate dancer who you should learn from if you have not already! I was hooked on this dance, even though I had no idea what my body was doing. Next came Christine Portella, with her cool, sexy strut and I was falling in love. The DJ was Steve Spencer, aka DJ Baiano, and I found myself moving to such a sweet groove. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, IT DID! A live band started at 10, with big drums and great vocals! I FELL IN LOVE at the first boom chicka boom!
The love affair has continued and gets stronger with each year and new connection.
I would LOVE to connect with and Dance with everyone I have met along my 19 year SAMBA journey!
Whether your journey of Samba with me is just now beginning or if we’ve been met dancing Samba almost 20 years ago, PLEASE JOIN ME in celebrating my journey so far!
