We are the World Champs!!!

dsc04684.jpg

After months of hard work, I’m pleased to announce our victory at the World Cuban Style “Rueda” Competition. Thanks to the intensive preparation work of our choreographer, Diego Sanchez, we were ready for the sometimes unfamiliar territory of a salsa competition. After coming in 2nd– what we considered “losing” the Vancouver Rueda competition in April 2007 to a group from Oregon, we were excited that they were there in Miami… only this time we took the sting of losing as motivation during rehearsals. The looks on their faces were priceless after we performed our routine during practice before the competition.
It was one of my most exhilarating moments on stage, rivaled only by certain moments playing the role of Martin Landell in the Unite the Hearts production “Transition”. Dancing the routine, I could spot the judges faces watching in awe of the energy and enthusiasm and complexity of choreography. After the routine was over, they cheered and applauded us– something judges aren’t supposed to do. This is proof that having vision, setting and writing down your goals, having determination and taking action steps to move toward your goal will ultimately bring in anything in your life you desire. I’m proud to be part of such a determined group of talented young people. Way to go, Grupo America.

Laura’s Fundraiser

We raised just over $6000 for Laura’s treatments and monthly bills. A gigantic thank you to everyone who participated– all the audience, the dancers, the local businesses that donated with cash and gift certificates… My staff, Jessica Darville, Anne Whitmore, Swan-e-set and Cariboo Moose productions… God bless you all… and last but not least, my beautiful fiancee… Maria. I love you.

Great class!!!

Thanks to all those that participated in the first “Salsa on the ridge” Class last thursday. Great to see all of you with huge smiles on your faces trying to learn the steps– some caught on quicker than others– but what else is new? I look forward to seeing your progress…

Welcome!

“Dance For Wellness” Benefit for Laura Caldovino

After finding a lump in her breast while nursing her then 4-month old son, Laura later found that not only did she develop breast cancer, but that it had spread to her hip, arm, and spine. To complement her ongoing medical treatment with her conventional doctors, she was also referred to a Naturopathic cancer specialist in a Richmond clinic to help increase her chances of survival. These expenses, not covered by BC Medical Care, are putting excessive strain on Laura and her family during a time when things could not be more difficult. Read more in the Provinces Article

My name is Dr. Nima Rahmany, and I am Lauras Chiropractor.  I read the story in the newspaper and watched Laura on television talk about the challenges going on in her life right now, and I wanted to get involved, beyond simply donating money.

As a Salsa instructor and performer about to enter the international group competition in Miami (in mid-November), I thought it would be a great idea to create an event in Maple Ridge to sell tickets for Lauras treatments, as well as give the event participant an opportunity to see a world class salsa demonstration, performance demos from dance schools around Maple Ridge, tons of raffle prizes from businesses around the community, and for those who wish to stay, a free salsa lesson afterwards.  The event will take place on Friday, November the 9th, with doors opening at 8:00pm.

After I put the word out, I watched in awe as the community I work in rounded up in support, a trio from West Coast Contortion jumped on board to perform, a group from Peggy Petes dance school agreed to do a show, corporate and media sponsors pitched in, Cosmic Catering donated a dessert bar with coffee and tea for everyone at the event, and Swan-e-Set golf club, without hesitation, opened up the doors to their ballroom to host the event.

We need your support for this event.  If you have a business and want to donate any products or services, we will be glad to raffle it off at the event.  If you wish to donate financially, Laura would appreciate that as well.

You can contact me at drnima@drnima.com and let me know how you (and your company) wish to participate. This promises to be a great event, not just for Laura, but for the participants as well.

Friday, November 9th, Swan-e-Set Golf and Country Club
8:30pm - 10pm
Tickets: $20 (before November 1st), $25 after October 31st
(limit of 300 tickets)
Includes:

  •  West Coast Contortion group
  • Peggy Petes dancers
  • Dance FX dancers
  • Grupo America Salsa Dancers
  • Raffle for prizes totaling over $1000
  • Dessert Bar with coffee and tea at intermission
