Hello to all avid and aspiring Salseros in the area (i.e. as far and wide an area as this e-mail reaches). Some of you already know that I am aiming to start a set of 6 week Salsa series at Step-n-Out Studio in Covington, KY. The classes focus strickly on Social Salsa (as opposed to performance) techniques. I start teaching on Friday, Jan 22. Below are some details on the classes I intend to offer. General prices are below the descriptions:
1) "Zero to Hero" Social Salsa Series (Part 1): Friday’s (7 – 8 pm)
This is a six week group class specially designed for either absolute beginners as well as those of you who had some recent instruction but little experience (6 weeks - 12 months) in Salsa.
You know... the Salsa bug bit you hard and fast, you got the basics down pat, and you are starting to master the rhythm. You are totally addicted but... you are dying to get sharp and look good on the dance floor fast! You want to take the fist strong steps be a smooth lead or a sharp follower. The class starts from the very basics and covers all fundamental techniques that you should know in order to truly stand out on the dance floor. Leaders will not only learn to lead smoothly, clearly and on time. They will also learn the key to creating and improvise multiple patterns (yes, even at the beginner level). Followers will learn proper timing, footwork, preparation and execution techniques to recognize and follow the most common styles of salsa. Basic Styling techniques will be introduced as well so both male and female can learn to make their movement more gracious and visually attractive on the dance floor without interfering with partner-work!
Part 2 of this series is scheduled to begin in Mar and will pick up where part 1 leaves in order to develop you into a fully proficient salsa dancer up to an intermediate level.
This is tailored for dancers who feel clearly at home with the basics footwork, combinations and the rhythm of salsa and are now capable of learning/executing increasingly complex salsa patterns comfortably. After hard and fast review of the fundamentals on the first two weeks, the class will introduced new patterns every week with the purpose to introduced/work/master specific skills!
If you have taken lessons and/or have been dancing for more than a year but are somehow frustrated with your progress this class is for you. If you are wondering what the secret is to create, lead/follow complex (or improvised) patterns at higher levels with ease you will be in the right place. If you want to be the follower every Lead seeks to dance with first, you really need to be here!

Yours truly,
Saulo Cepeda
P.S. Below is a separate project for your early consideration. Enjoy!
It happened to all of us - we dance in a crowded club, and accidentally step on somebody. The polite dancers apologize and move on. However, if the same guy runs into you 5-6 times during one song, something is wrong. Obviously, they need some extra education :)
So we've asked couple of expert teachers to show the cross-body lead the way it should be done in a crowded club.
Please respect other dancers' space and stay SAFE on the dance floor!!!

Information from Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs:
Policy Alert: BMV Injunction DENIED
As you may know, the League of United Latin American requested an injunction in the Franklin County Municipal Court to prevent the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) from executing a December 8, 2009 cancellation of thousands of motor vehicle registrations that were registered using a third-party transaction. LULAC sought to prohibit the BMV from requiring those who used a third party transaction (such as power of attorney) to provide a valid Ohio driver's license, identification card or Social Security number. Magistrate Pamela Browning issued a ruling today DENYING the injunction.
We have not yet received the grounds for the ruling, but will make this available as soon as possible.
Effective 12:00 a.m. midnight tonight, those who have not re-registered their vehicles in compliance with the new BMV policy will be in violation of the law and subject to stops by law enforcement officials. Failure to register a vehicle is a violation of the law and is a fourth degree misdemeanor, which is subject to penalties of a maximum of 30 days in jail and $250 in fines (ORC § 4503.11). Furthermore, failure to display registration on the vehicle is a minor misdemeanor, subject to a penalty of a maximum of $150. (ORC § 4503.21).
Alerta Especial: Requerimiento Preliminar Legal ante el BMV (Dirección Vehicular) ha sido DENEGADA
Como recordarán, LULAC – [League of United Latin American Citizens] solicitó un requerimiento preliminar legal ante el Tribunal Municipal del Condado de Franklin para prevenir que la Dirección Vehicular (BMV) autorizara a partir del 8 de diciembre la cancelación de miles de registros vehiculares que fueron registrados por medio de transacciones que usaban a terceros. LULAC tenía como meta que se le prohibiera al BMV exigir a aquellos que usaron a terceros (como por ejemplo a través de carta poder) la presentación de una licencia de conducir válida para Ohio, tarjeta de identificación o número de seguro social. La Magistrada Pamela Browning dictó su veredicto hoy día DENEGANDO el requerimiento legal.
Al momento, no hemos recibido las bases del fallo, apenas la información esté disponible, la pondremos a su disposición.
Efectivo a la media noche 12:00 a.m. de hoy día, aquellos que no han vuelto a registrar sus vehículos de acuerdo a la nueva ley del BMV estarán en violación de la ley y serán sujetos a paradas por la policía. El incumplimiento del registro de vehículo es una violación de ley y es un delito menor del cuarto grado, el cual está sujeto a castigos de un máximo de 30 días en prisión y $250 en multas (ORC § 4503.11). Aún más, el no desplegar la placa en el vehículo es un delito menor sujeto a una multa de un máximo de $150. (ORC § 4503.21).
