“Correct me if I’m wrong, you can’t dance LA with a follower that did not complete beginner level classes, because it just doesn’t work.

I have been thinking about this for a while but something became very clear to us through the words of a group of 6th graders.
Jay and I have been teaching a group of very high-risk 6th graders that come from low income homes. One of our Salsa dance students, Dulce, is their English as a [...]

A stuffy room, overpriced dinners and lunches, people pushing their products or themselves, leaving with a stack of business cards you have no idea who actually gave them to you, hopes of joined profits, a sense of wasted time… what do these things have in common?
Very often they refer to a networking event. Now, let [...]
