While working with some of the folkloric dance companies I was asked to enter a Latin Dance competition with one of the girls from the company and we won first place. (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue & Cumbia). People started to asks me to teach some salsa, so I did every other week classes. I competed in the next event again and won first place for the second time! Club promoters hired me to teach intro lessons at their clubs weekly and I began my weekly classes as well. I had a following.  Lol.
