As many of you know, the  3rd Annual San Diego Salsa Festival is coming up September 17th-20th and with it great opportunities to interact with the world of salsa dancing.

The San Diego Salsa Festival will feature world renowned performers, great workshop instruction from many of those performing, entertaining dancing to live music and some of the best DJ’s in the industry.

As a Festival Promotional Partner, Ritmo Bello has 1 Full Event pass (a $220 value) to give out to one lucky reader.  The Full Evening/Day pass gives you access to shows, competitions, & social Dancing – including the Pre-Party.  We are going to give away the Full Event pass to someone who can share their best “Salsa Dance Story” i.e. how salsa dancing has changed their life.

To enter into this competition we are simply asking for our readers to:

1.  Share your salsa dance story in 600 -1000 words (What attracted you to salsa, your initial experiences learning salsa, funny stories about you learning salsa, etc.).  If you want you can also include a YouTube video clip about yourself explaining your experiences as well (your article will get better consideration if you have it in writing and supplement it with a video).

2.  Explain how salsa dancing has been an important part of your life.

3.  and share with us why you should receive the Full Event pass.

Along with winning the Full Event pass, the winning article will appear in a special post on Ritmo Bello recognizing the winner.

Please submit entries to Ritmo Bello (bello_jf@ritmobello.com) before 3pm on August 28th, 2009 and use the header “My Salsa Dance Story – YOUR NAME HERE.” Also, please include your contact information at the end of your submission so we can contact you if you are the winner and the YouTube Video link you’ve created.   The winner will be announced the first week of September on Ritmo Bello and the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group.

Good luck and we look forward to reading about your salsa dance experiences!
