Alejandro
President
Junior / Psychology

I've always liked dancing, but I was never any good at it. Once I took Salsa lessons during Dawg Daze in my Freshman Year, I fell in love with it. I've been an active member ever since. Last year I became the President and I want to make Salsa Club one of the most popular clubs on campus.
Tela
Vice President
Junior / American Indian Studies & Anthropology

I started Salsa dancing in 2009 when a friend invited me to Century Ballroom to do something on a Friday night. I really enjoyed it so I took lessons with the Salsa Club. I've only been dancing for a little while but it's so much fun and I've met so many awesome people - I love it!
Kenji
Treasurer
Sophomore / Bio-Physics & Mathematics

I started Salsa dancing in the Autumn of 2010 under the instruction of Juliet McMains. I later took lessons from Michelle Badion through ASUW and then joined the Salsa Club @ UW my Winter Quarter. Salsa's been a joy thus far!
Tien
Secretary
Sophomore / Life

I had no idea what salsa was until Dawg Daze last year. Since then I've become absolutely addicted to salsa and bachata and plan to continue learning for years to come.
Kelsey
Officer at Large
Junior / Physics & Astronomy

I am from San Francisco and started social dancing for PE credit my freshman year of high school. I've always had a special place for Salsa in my heart, and fall in love with it all over again whenever I start dancing.
Heather
Publicity Chair
Senior / Anthropology & Communications (Minor in Dance)

I started my relationship with dance at age 4 at Southold Dance Theater. Then, in middle school, I moved and started dancing at the Eugene Ballet Academy. Ballet and I grew together; I started teaching and choreographing with the Eugene Youth Ballet and Eugene Ballet Company. We had great moments at the Joffrey Ballet, Rock School, and Long Beach Ballet summer programs. After a long relationship with ballet, I decided it was time to mix things up a little with some sexy salsa. With college comes growth and change. When I found salsa it was love at first sight. Ballet and I still maintain a friendly relationship but breakups are hard for any couple. Monogamy is a lot to handle so we have settled on an open relationship. Here at the UW, I am a communication and anthropology major with a minor in dance. I enjoy the occasional modern dance class but life is just not that satisfying without Century Ballroom, Salsa Con Todo, or one of the many other dance events in Seattle. Salsa and I are going steady now and the way things are heading we may end up being life partners.

Laura
Webmaster
Senior / Germanics (Minor in Linguistics)

Sometime during high school, a friend took me to Halo (the sister studio of Century Ballroom), for some casual salsa social dancing. It took me by surprise and gave an under 21 year old something to do on the occasional night out. I kept it up over the years, anxiously awaiting every first Friday of the month at Century. Eventually I arrived at the UW, felt lost in the crowd, flew away to Germany, could hardly find places or people for going salsa dancing, flew back to Seattle, found the amazing people from the Salsa Club. It spun me right upside down. Now, I spin more often on the dance floor, sneak in plenty of body rolls, and break out some Dominican footwork in Bachata. Bachata and Salsa congresses in Los Angeles and anywhere else in the world are now my vacations. The dance community anywhere in the world is open to me now. Never a boring night out again! And then I became webmaster...
