Joy in Motion Fri Oct 10, 2008 3:24 am

Welcome to the Joy in Motion forum section on Quickstep. Thank you to Anand for offering me this opportunity to offer up some topics for discussion. So allow me to formally introduce myself.

My name is Karin, and live in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. I teach social Latin dance (salsa, merengue, bachata, Argentine tango), and I write and maintain a website and monthly newsletter called Joy in Motion. Joy in Motion is dedicated to the celebration and exploration of social dance and music. I regularly write articles on a variety of topics related to Latin dance and music, but I have a special interest and passion for the conceptions of connection, musicality, and flow in social dance.

I am very excited about offering up some starting points for discussion. I love writing about the intangible qualities that make social dance so satisfying and addicting, and it is my hope that they will inspire others to share their thoughts and experiences as well. I welcome and value any feedback on any of the articles and other thoughts posted in this section. I hope to hear from all of you soon.

Enjoy!
