Gataloca - Salsa steps and sounds

HomeThe Crazy Cat is in the place !!!Aug 25, 2006
You are on DJ Gataloca's website... for sweet and sour salsa, good sounds and nice steps. Welcome !

This weblog of mine will be updated regularly, as I am a lucky person and have more new professional commitments every week. ;-) Learn everything about my past, my present, and contact me for more informations about my future ! gataloca.prod@yahoo.com

Gataloca : "the crazy cat" : what does it mean ? simply that I turn crazy when the music (salsa) starts being played and have to "put on my velvet paws" and start dancing without a rest / my "velvet paws" ? a French expression to describe how cats moove smoothly (I'm still hopin' I dance as a cat walks)
but "gata" being also employed in Puerto Rico as a popular way to say "girl" I am just another crazy girl and you know that already if you ever met me (lucky you !) :-)
who am I beside that ?discover me in the "Meet me" entry of the blog

A line to thank some people who deserves it, plus are people I like (or love) :
- Anton : you gave me the mambo ; I owe you my salsa-ears and pretty much my mambo-feet too... you opened this new world for me and I'll always be thankful for that... and you're the most beautiful dancer in the world... love.
- Ara : you gave me the belly dance ; I always wanted to dance belly, feeling a strong connexion with my cultural origins (all my grand-parents were born in Morocco, Algeria or Egypt), but you're the one who offered me a way (and which way !) to access to it... many thanks, and wish to keep working with you in the future.
- Lourd & Kaytee : you've given me a passport for a new world, the Indian one ; I will never have enough words to tell how much I have been dreaming of this country : thanks.
- - Diana : you gave me friendship and safety in a foreign country (Philippines) ; I won't have any words to thank you for taking care of me in Philippines and promoting me, as my "fan" number one, and for helping me in any circumstances (even sewing a complicated bra during your vacation time !)... again, thank you, thank you, thank you...
- Lily / Gene / Rebecca / Lisa : you're giving me my self-confidence and material security in China ; you're my best friends and promoters in Shanghai... without you I would not have any appartment or job or friends here, you're the nicest Chinese people ever ! :-D
- and last but not least : thanks to my parents... no way to say for what, as they have been doing EVERYTHING for me, the list to thank them for would be too long... I love you so much...
