In my bio and other places I've let it be known that in addition to my privates, I've taught at Mama Juana's (MJ's) as a sub over the last year or so.
I was informed late last night (while dancing at the club) that starting June 20th, I'm taking over for Ken Baldwin's Wednesday night classes at Mama Juana's, in Universal City, CA. (Ken's going to Alaska for 3 months and then will be back in LA in October. Sometime in the winter he'll be going to Costa Rica or Brazil (Amazon River) to work as a fly fishing guide. He's keeping his condo in Los Angeles and will come back every couple of months.)
The class is from 7:30 to 9:00 pm and targets intermediate dancers who want to refine and enhance their current moves.
If you know anybody in the LA area who wants have a good time improving their dancing, send them to MJ's on Wednesday nights!
I'm proud of this announcement because the other instructors at this club includes Alex Da Silva, Walter Jones, and Rodrigo Guzman, all world-class salsa dancers. Ken Baldwin (who had 3 classes per week at MJ's) has long been a fixture in the LA scene, teaching at MJ's, The Conga Room, and many other venues for years.
Use my Google Salsa Map to get locations and/or directions for MJ's and my other favorite clubs in the LA area.

learned in fifty-two years is that women want men to stop asking dumb questions.

Ken's not moving out of the country. He's going to Alaska for 3 months and then will be back in LA in October. Sometime in the winter he'll be going to Costa Rica or Brazil (Amazon River) to work as a fly fishing guide. He's keeping his condo in Los Angeles and will come back every couple of months. Hope your Wed. class is going well.
I fixed the main article with Ken's comments so it's right in the main post. Originally I had it that he was leaving the country. I obviously had the details wrong.
