Singapore Salsa Congress 2006 - Thank Yous

Yay!!!! We did it! I had great fun at the Singapore Salsa Congress!!! Whew! What a hectic 7 days... As organizers, we were running around so much making sure that things were going as smoothly as possible that my first social dance was on Friday; on the 5th day! And since I was mainly in charge of the performances, I didn't really get to meet the overseas artistes or danced with them until nearly the end of the congress. There were performances every night except on Friday, and I counted... in total, I did 25 performances that week! Heehee...

I'm super duper proud of all our performers. Gosh, they really put in a lot of effort to put on great shows, and they did it! Even staying until 4am in the morning on the day of the performance didn't deter them from turning up at 10am for workshops on Sat and putting on a fabulous show that night! Did I say I'm super proud of them? It's like a mama hen preening her feathers. Haha... Of course, rehearsals were crazy and I felt like a shrew ordering them around the entire 2 weeks, but I think it was a fantastic experience. They really dedicated their 2 weeks to me, and I'm really honoured to have such troopers by my side. These ppl are a bunch of super cool ppl to dance with, and boy can they dance! I'm amazed I survived the week without falling apart at the seams. The week certainly flew by, and I dare say that this congress is one of the most exhilarating times of my life... Guys, I'm sure you'll agree: we put in sweat, blood and bruises into this show. It paid off, and the result was amazing.

To the Performers:
I love you guys. You were really beautiful out there. From the quick costume changes - stripping backstage and all - to the dedication and hard work, and standing by every night for run throughs and performances, you guys are really great! Although I looked constipated and stressed, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for such a wonderful time and a fantastic performance!
