Baltimore Salsa Blog

Sue Elliott, a native of Baltimore, has been dancing for 5 years and is a self-proclaimed promoter.  She's currently an organizer with the Baltimore Salsa Meetup and loves to blog.  She keeps the Baltimore folks both informed and motivated through her weekly blog postings (started one year ago).  Her passion for Salsa and commitment to growing the community shines through wherever she goes. Both instructors and dancers hold the highest respect for Sue and often come to her for advice on promoting new venues and events. 

Baltimore Salsa Blog began as a vision of creating one site to pull together everything related to Salsa and other forms of latin dancing in Baltimore and surrounding areas.  Frustrated with all the changes occurring almost daily, Sue decided to take the information she was gathering for her own personal use and share it with like-minded people.  The original website was developed using wordpress and still exists today.  Concurrently, Sue began sending out weekly emails to the thousand members of the Baltimore Salsa Meetup in January 2009.  Eventually, Sue moved the information off of wordpress and onto a new website.  Over time, she realized that her reputation for the "blog" and the website address she had chosen didn't quite match.  Common sense backed by passion and enthusiasm led her to create a name that just made sense - The Baltimore Salsa Blog.

Instructors are plentiful in the Baltimore area, many with backgrounds in both ballroom and club dancing.  Anyone trained to teach Salsa, Cha-Cha, or Bachata is encouraged to send a bio to sue at baltimoresalsablog.com for inclusion.

Clubs consist of studios, night clubs, restaurants, and other venues that welcome salsa dancers.

Calendar lists all regularly scheduled salsa dancing opportunities sorted by day of the week.

Weekly Updates is the most current information which guides you to the hottest spots to dance each week.

Events is a calendar program listing all upcoming "one-time" significant events in the Baltimore and surrounding areas.

Website Design is not exactly what Sue studied in college or performs at her 9 to 5 job.  However, she has always been fascinated by the immediate gratification of seeing her work in lights or in this case, text.  She is building this website using Joomla - an open source content management system.  One of her very best friends, Ro is helping her with this task.  He's an awesome website designer creating masterpieces for many members of the dance community. If you are ever at a major Salsa event, Ro will be there with a camera taking hundreds of photos.
