Past Events
Michael Malitowski & Joanna Leunis, October 2006
We had the great pleasure of introducing our students to one of the world's best Latin dance couples, who performed at Famme Furlane in October. The couple placed 2 nd at the world's most prestigious competition in Blackpool, England, and it was a great opportunity to see dancers of this caliber live here in Toronto. The event was sold out, and of course, was followed by an evening of dance enjoyed by everyone!
back to topLas Vegas Dance Camp, June 2006
Hosted by Dance Vision (DVIDA), Las Vegas Dance Camp has become a must for any Ballroom or Latin dance enthusiast. Classes for all levels are taught by the best instructors, competitors and choreographers currently working in the Dance industry.
In 2006, Edgar Franco and Melinda Deines attended the Teacher's Course (a new addition to the camp) and were extremely impressed by the quality of the event. Not only were the classes exceptional, but the entire event was fun, well-organized and exciting.
There are evening dance parties and classes for those who just can't get enough, private instruction is available for those looking for an extra challenge, and every level gets the chance to perform at the final ball. We made great new friends and had a blast wearing ourselves out with non-stop dancing!
If you are interested in going to Dance Camp in 2007, please contact us for more information.
back to topWinter Salsa Carnival, January 2006
In January, 2006, Franco Dance participated in the first Winter Salsa Carnival in Toronto, hosted by Toronto's MamboTribe. The weekend event was packed with classes taught by local instructors as well as world-class salsa dancers from New Jersey, the Dominican Republic and Montreal.
After dancing all day, learning everything from shines to turns to complicated patterns, there were evening performances and a masquerade ball. The event was enthusiastically received, and well worth taking part in.
Aside from the exposure to extremely different styles of salsa, it was fun to have a little escape from the grey Toronto winter without the cost of a plane ticket!
Look out for an announcement of next year's event on our website.
