Hope you are all doing well. I often get questions related to my connection with the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup group here in San Diego, CA.

Meetup is a vehicle to help people meet other people who share the same interests, whatever that interest may be. I’ve seen meetups ranging from political groups to learning how to knit . The one I help organize deals specifically with Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha, Tango and other types of Latin dancing that might interest people here locally in the San Diego area.

As the main Meetup organizer of the Salsa group, I act as the main contact for all of the Meetup’s activities and events. Along with Assistant Organizers , I help set the time and place for the Meetup to hold our events. In addition to that, Organizers like myself:

• Email Meetup members through the Meetup
• Poll members about anything, from what to name the Meetup to where to have their meetings
• Tell people what the Meetup’s about by managing the name, description, photos and agenda
• Spread the word using custom Meetup signs, flyers, business cards and email
• Select additional Assistant Organizers to help in the running of the Meetup
• Control membership by approving and removing members
• Pay for the meetup and collect donations to cover costs.

If you have a passion for dancing and want to help feel free to email me at bello_jf@ritmobello.com and I can arrange for you to become an Assistant Organizer.

Take care and have fun dancing!
