Choreographic Classes
SalsaOlé School Team
Are you interested in performing?
Do you want to improve your skills in salsa and develop your talents? Are you searching for new challenges and experiences?
This class is for all salseros with some experience who are interested in doing shows!
More precisely:
- SalsaOlé School Level 5 students
- SalsaOlé School Level 3 & 4 students with teacher approval
- Any and all salseros with SalsaOlé approval
Unlike our Amateur Dance Team (or Amateur Team), there is no audition and requirement that you need to meet before joining the School Team.
Ideally, there should be the same number of ladies and men. In the case where there is disparity, preference in partnering will be given by order of registration. For example if there are more ladies than gentlemen, the ladies who registered first will be given preference. If you have no partner, you can still follow the classes as a substitute. That said, SalsaOlé will do everything we can to ensure an equal number of ladies and men.

SalsaOlé
will defend the honor of the National
Capital region at the Quebec Salsa
Festival competition!
SalsaOlé is pleased to be representing
the National Capital region at The
Second Annual Quebec Salsa Festival
from September 25th to 27th.
On top of performances by Carolina
& Luc, the Semi-Pro Dance Team
and the Amateur Dance Team, SalsaOlé
will defend the honor of the region
at the festival competition with two
couples in the Pro-Am division.
As
the name suggests the Pro-Am division
consists of a couple formed by a professional
and an amateur; in essence a student-teacher
format. To that end, Carolina will be dancing with Chris and Luc with Julie-Anne.
As
part of our competition preparation
- and for your entertainment! - SalsaOlé
will be performing these Pro-Am routines
this Friday at Rahim's Latin Friday
and also this Saturday at Club Caliente.

A
Spectacular Spring for SalsaOlé!
Since last March, SalsaOlé
has built a solid reputation, dancing
alongside numerous international dancers.
The SalsaOlé Semi-Pro Team
– Carolina, Luc, Julie-Anne
and Chris – started the season
by charming Toronto at the opening
night of the Winter
Salsa Carnival. This is
what Caryl Cuizon, co-founder of iFreeStyle.ca
Dance Company of Toronto, had to say
about SalsaOlé’s performance:
“It's wonderful to see more
Canadian cities represented at national
and international salsa events. Performances
by dance companies like SalsaOlé
have helped put Ottawa on the salsa
map!”. Let’s not forget
the comment posted on SalsaTo.ca
website: “The IronMan award
must go to SalsaOlé who closed
out the performances. Their dancing
was fiery, just like their costumes!
These two intrepid couples drove in
from Ottawa, danced, performed, danced
some more and then drove back. Oh
yes, Ottawa is about 5 hours - one
way”.
The team also performed at the 5th
edition of the Montreal
Salsa Convention in April.
After watching them at the rehearsal,
Gil Sanchez, one of the organizers
of the event comented: “You
guys totally deserved to be here!”.
Echoes of these successes were heard
by the organizer of the Ottawa
Salsa Madness, The Canadian Salsa
Festival, Mr. Carlo Bernard:
“I heard lots and lots of compliments
about SalsaOlé. A lot of the
schools from Montreal and Toronto
have approached me and expressed their
happiness in seeing Ottawa on stage
dancing at the level of other cities”.
Mr. Bernard also invited SalsaOlé
to represent Ottawa in various events
and to help him promote his festival.
The SalsaOlé Semi-Pro Team
will continue its summer shows at
the 1st edition of the Ottawa
Salsa Madness, The Canadian Salsa
Festival, from July 23rd
to 26th, at the 1st edition of the
International
Summer Salsa Festival Laval,
from August 5th to 9th, and finally
at the 2nd edition of the Quebec
Salsa Festival, from September
25th to 27th, 2009. Please note that
the SalsaOlé Amateur Troupe
will also be part of these three important
events. Other shows will be added
to SalsaOlé’s busy schedule,
check out our Agenda
to know what is coming up!

SalsaOlé’s
Second Anniversary –
An Unforgetable Evening!
On March 21, SalsaOlé celebrated
its second anniversary at the Salaberry
Armoury in Gatineau. Over 150 people
were present at this event filled
with music, fun, and laughter.
Our
guests of honour were Chilital’s
Roberto Arenas Jr. and Marie-Josée
Strazzero (2nd place World Salsa Championships
2007), who kicked off the celebration
with an intermediate/advanced salsa
workshop that delighted the salseros
and salseras in attendance. The highlight
of the evening was the incredible
performances by 15 year old Samantha
Scali, Roberto and the rest of the
Chilital dance team! Trevor Poon also
walked away with a full pass for the
1st
edition of the International Summer
Salsa Festival Laval to
be held from the 5th to the 9th of
August in Laval.
Thank
you for showing up in great numbers
and thank you to those who helped
making this evening a success! Do
not miss our next party on July 4th!

Two
SalsaOlé dance teams in 2009:
SEMI-PRO and AM
Along
with the school component, SalsaOlé
is very involved with its show component,
and we are actually going forward
with new choreography projects by
offering training and development
opportunities to all our dance team
members.
In addition to Carolina and Luc's
shows, SalsaOlé now has two
dance teams: the “Semi Pro”
dance team, which has been training
since last September, and the new
“Amateur” team, which
will be starting in January 2009.
Choreography classes will allow the
training of well-rounded dancers,
with emphasis on technique, styling,
musicality, body awareness, expression,
discovery of new movements, etc.
Anyone interested in performing, and
who would like to join us in the near
future is welcomed to contact us.
Make
sure you don’t miss our new
shows!
