The Lvsalseros.com Project began as an idea in late 2009 as a way to bring the Las Vegas Salsa community together. Projects like this have been seen in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other cities, but never before in Las Vegas. Who should be invited, what kind of routine, and which song should we do became my main questions.Well, I definitely wanted to invite key dancers in our community who had already performed or taught, but I also wanted to invite people whom I thought represented the everyday salsero and salsera, those with intermediate experience who had never performed but possessed in them that innate spirit of Salsa and that inner drive to become better dancers.
