MyM Returns to Cincinnati & Festival Latino
Once again MÁS y Mambo will be performing at the Cincinnati Salsa Festival and the Columbus Festival Latino, except this year there is a twist. The MÁS y Mambo Student Dance team will also be performing! The MÁS y Mambo Student Dance team is made up almost entirely of MyM students that have been dancing for less than a year. They will be unveiling their first choreography this summer in Cincinnati at Columbus. Come out and see where you can be one year from today!
MyM at CSCC Hispanic Heritage Celebration
MÁS y Mambo was asked to teach a large group salsa class to the students, faculty, staff, and local citizens attending Columbus State Community College's Hispanic Heritage Month celebration this past Saturday. It was an hour of salsa, fun, and learning for all that attended and the event staff were so pleased that a return has already been booked. For MÁS y Mambo friends at CSCC, there is another large group class in November with your name on it.

MyM helps AEP celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
American Electric Power contacted MÁS y Mambo to provide a little salsa flair to their Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. In the main lobby of their corporate headquarters they had Puerto Rican and Mexican delicacies, a mariachi band, and some excellent salsa dancing. MÁS y Mambo did one performance and taught a 30 minute introductory class for the good people of AEP. Afterwards, the event was deemed a success and MÁS y Mambo credited for bringing a high level of energy and interactivity to all participants of the celebration.
MyM Performs at Cincinnati Salsa Festival 2009
MÁS y Mambo had the great opportunity to perform at the Cincinnati Salsa Festival 2009. Due to technical difficulties there aren't any pictures or video to share. however the memory will always remain strong. For anyone that hasn't been, the Cincinnati Salsa Festival is quickly becoming one of the major Salsa Events in the midwest region. The workshops, performances, and general fair atmosphere combine to make this a great event for dancers of all skill levels (and their families, too!)
MÁS y Mambo featured on cover of Dispatch
When the dispatch covered the Festival Latino last weekend, they put a giant picture of Shanelle and Mike performing their routine to Suelte el Bongo by La-33. Although the image on the website isn't that big... the print version was nearly half the whole page!
Shanelle asked to be Local Expert Judge
The organizers of the Cincinnati Salsa Festival also host the Tri-State Salsa Open Championship competition, and this year they held a qualifying round in Columbus. In the name of objectivity, the judging committee consisted of two regional experts and one local expert. MÁS y Mambo is proud to say that Instructor Shanelle Marie was asked to be the local expert.
The Tri-State Salsa Open Championship is the largest salsa competition in Ohio, Indiana, or Kentucky and the winner qualifies for the Chicago-Midwest Salsa Open, which will be held in Chicago at the Chicago Salsa Congress in February 2010.
