Did You Know I Dance Salsa?

Maybe you have already seen me in action. For those of you who have not, here it is- everything I learned about dance during the 2+ years living in Latin America.


For those of you not impressed, use this opportunity to get to know Lili and Karyme. Most of my close friends already know a good deal about these cuties, since I hardly stop talking about them. If you don't already know, this video gives you a good idea.


Karyme is the cute pudgy one in front of the camera. She often steals the crowd's attention and there is never a dull day with her around. Lili is the behind the camera girl... you can hear her adoring giggle throughout the recording. She is the quiet, intelligent, sweet one. If you can get her to bear her toothless smile, you will be set for the day.


If seeing me dance, meeting Karyme or helping out a good cause just aint your thang, maybe I can persuade you to watch for other reasons. You can see what a home in El Salvador looks like...although, I lived "middle class". Most houses are made of mud or sticks. My hand-washed clothes are featured here, hanging to dry from my shutters. And all the wallpapers and decorations are handmade and picked by yours truly.






In all seriousness, these kids are the inspiration for our jewelry business. We want to see them go to college. If all else fails, I figure I can be a dance instructor. Checkout our website where we sell handmade jewelry. Everything shown on our site is original artwork from Morazan, El Salvador. It was a project I started in 2010 to create income for young women in my community. They have come so far, and I want to see them keep going!
