Salsa Sue - Merewether
Sue Connors was learning to dance ballroom and took on a weekend class to learn Salsa that began an absolute passion in Sue’s life. She has travelled to Cuba to study both Salsa and Rueda, has done some Flamenco in Spain, Belly dancing in Egypt and participated as a student in the latest New Zealand Salsa Congress with some of the worlds best Salsa Dancers. Sue recently took out gold, silver and bronze medals in the Trans Tasman Masters Games in Salsa, Latin and Ballroom and regularly runs Ladies body movement classes here in Newcastle.
All of this (as well as teaching with Ruedisima) has lead Sue to want to share with the Salsa and general dancing community of Newcastle, the passion she feels, the art of body movement and her love of seeing people achieve, enjoy and have fun.

| FAQ # 8 |
| Q: |
What if you have 2 left feet? |
| A: |
Nobody could have been worse than some of us when we first started dancing. If you stick with the classes and make sure you practise, you WILL develop coordination and confidence and in a short time you will be dancing! |
| TIP #3: Having Fun |
Dancing is like a house, you need strong foundations, but you are allowed to decorate it however you like! Life is serious enough, dancing should be fun. Don't forget to laugh and let yourself play x x
