Once Upon a Time ...
March 2007 - 2nd Luxembourg salsa congress
|
Alfredo, Anabela, Carlo, Cristina, Diane, Jaqueline, Jovita, Kamal, Mary, Michel, Myriam and Vitor. 12 Students from Salsa Life and C&L salsa schools put together six different salsa choreographies created by Sandra, César and Helder. After 4 months of hard work, a single16 minutes show combining theatre and salsa was performed for the first time in Luxembourg during the 2nd Luxembourg Salsa Congress.
The background was a free version of a popular fairy tale. (well, a "very free version" since our Cinderella was that innocent and our prince was a mafioso. Such a story required the skills of a true theatrical director. Victoria, from the Spanish Theater group "Theatrum" in Luxembourg, tried hard to get out of our salseros the hidden actor they had inside.
Last but not least, thank you very much to Eric Lallemand for these fantastic pictures. You can see more pictures from the Luxembourg salsa congress 2007 at www.salsanews.lu

Once upon a time...
Cinderella!

She had two pretty
but mean
stepsisters.. |
...and a really
mean stepmother |
Here is the
older stepsister! |
|
|
|
|
Waw, Invitations

Hey ladies, here you have! |
Umm... the younger
mean stepsister |
But here she comes
the magic fairy |
|
|
|
|
And the butterfly gets
out of her cocoon! |
The ball starts... |
and goes on... |
Ma che e questo?
Un capo!!!!
|
|
|
|
|
DJ! DJ!... Salsa... SALSA!!! |
Ummm.. this is

Il capo and
the younger stepsister |
Il capo right-hand man and
the older stepsister! |

|
|
|
They look good! |
The boring waltz
turns into a rueda! |
More rueda! |
Cinderella is here! |
|
|
|
|
She ignores the capo |
But the capo never
accepts a "no" |
And they danced... |
...and danced... |
|
|
|
|
... and danced... |
... and danced... |
... and danced... |
... all night long... |
|
|
|
|

Where is Cinderella?

Is this one Cinderella foot? |

Happy End! |
