Change Your LocationSALSALEGRE: The Joy of Salsa Dancing For a Good Cause
Written by Milton Rodas
SALSALEGRE ORGANIZATION, LOS ANGELES — Founded in 2007 by Susannah Kloepfer, SALSALEGRE's mission has been, since its conception, to provide music and dance lovers with the great opportunity to rejoice in the celebration of being able to benefit the poorest of the poor when attending a Salsalegre event.
With that purpose in mind and in heart, Susannah has, year after year, worked arduously to bring together the best musical and dance talent into greatly organized entertainment productions that call LA salsa dancers to dance for a good cause - not just for pleasure.
Musicians, dancers, dance troupes, venue owners, and even popular Hollywood celebrities have donated what they have to offer for the events organized by Salsalegre, and Angelenos have responded in kind by attending and supporting the cause. Although, more and more support is always welcomed, not just in attendance, but also in donations.
DONATE TO SU MISERICORDIA - SALSALEGRE
In 2011, the promoter of Salsalegre is planning a great combination of events around the time of Halloween, between the dates of October 27 and October 30. Four nights of dancing by the name of "Salsa Scream," at the Irvine Hyatt Regency Luxury Hotel, where there will be Dance Workshops, Dance & Costume Competitions, Cash Prizes, and great Dance & Music Showcases.
Knowing Susannah and judging by her past events, this event will be a blast and a total success! It is one not to be missed!
It is worthy to note that Salsa Scream, which organized and promoted by Susannah, is not a non-profit event, and that this year's Salsalegre event will take place at a different time and place. Susannah is very straight-forward and does not wish for there to be any confusion.
----
Salsalegre is a subsidiary to Su Misericordia Mexico Mission, a non-profit organization founded by Ana Gmeiner in 1992 with the purpose of serving the poor, predominately Oaxacan Indians in Maneadero, Baja California, Mexico.

Susannah BellaFri, Aug 19, 2011, 05:58 PMAwesome article, it is so kind and thoughtful. Thank you so much. One correction though: Salsa Scream is put on by the creator of Salsalegre, but it is not the same event. Salsa Scream is not a non-profit, and there will be a Salsalegre this year which will be a non-profit event. Both events are so fun and wonderful. Salsa Scream is going to be the best salsa halloween party in Southern California! Can't wait! Thank you Milton for writing this about Salsalegre. :)
