Crayfish with salsa!

Salsa dance at the traditional August crayfish party?!
A few years ago nobody had even heard about salsa in Sweden.

Now as a side effect of immigration it´s getting popular. Some swedes are learning, and learning well.

It was a perfect after dinner activity at this particular party in Mollösund at the swedish west coast a couple of years ago.
Beautiful place!

Let´s dance with Adriana Mendes

Adriana Mendes started to dance at the age of five in her home country Brazil . She came to Sweden some years ago with the strong determination to create a dance school.

Thanks to skills, patience and energy (like a small nuclear plant) she is now the owner of a very popular dans school in Gothenburg named Adrianas Danshus
A month ago she won the price Settler of the year, pioneer in the west 2011

The Governor of the region handed over the price at a special ceremony in the residence in central Gothenburg.
