2006 Memphis Salsa Convention Videoclips
Friday Night Rooftop Party - Introduction of the Instructors - Here was the official introduction of all the instructors and performers at the Friday night welcoming party. Salsa Memphis rented one of the premiere rooftops in Memphis with the best view of the river and downtown. It was a windy night that had all the dancers adjusting to the wind, but it keep things cool when it began to heat up!

Friday Night Rooftop Party - More of the Friday night rooftop party. This one begins with Edgar Mendez and his partner, Kim Morales, who is currently pregnant (proof you can dance salsa in any condition) and ends with all the instructors dancing rumba!
