Edie, The Salsa FREAK (USA)

A Letter from a Former BBS Apprentice …

Jennifer Ancona – Black Belt Salsa, Certified Red Belt

Dear Edie,
Words are difficult to express to someone who has altered my life. Your being has touched me in such a magnificent way and it’s only an attribute to the magic you create wherever you are.

Being an Apprentice in the BBS^™ system not only taught me how technical & precise Salsa must be to execute style and grace together, but it also assisted in melting the huge icebergs of past wounds, which allowed me to integrate a balance between steam and water flowing off the rock. (Only BBS^™ students will get this!)

Yes, the Apprentice training was hard work but every moment was more than worth it. I gained a sense of self that allowed me to say ‘good-bye’ to playing small in life and ‘hello’ to a much larger journey toward my authentic self. I know confidence, trust, abundance & peace are now with me always.

For you, Edie, I am most grateful for your expertise, insight, and willingness to serve others. May you continue to be blessed in all you do! You are unrepeatable! For BBS^™, it’s an extraordinary system that enters your soul and teaches you how to be a “Bad Ass” dancer!

Thank you, Edie! And thank you, BBS^™ – a system that is continually being built by people like you and me who love to dance!

Be an Apprentice and watch your life explode to new heights before your very eyes!
