It happened to all of us - we dance in a crowded club, and accidentally step on somebody. The polite dancers apologize and move on. However, if the same guy runs into you 5-6 times during one song, something is wrong. Obviously, they need some extra education :)
So we've asked couple of expert teachers to show the cross-body lead the way it should be done in a crowded club.
Please respect other dancers' space and stay SAFE on the dance floor!!!
We are happy to present our newest "Havana Nights" flyer with our new MidwestLatino Girls: Luma, Elizabeth, and Lisa.
We don't need some high-paid models who we don't even know, and who probably never even danced Salsa. The Midwest Salsa scene has enough of gorgous Salseras who know how to dance and model.
If you're interested in being featured on our future flyers, please contact us...
We are pleased to announce that Michael Beck, founder and President of MidwestLatino, has been awarded the 2008 Spirit of Cincinnati: Champion Award from the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB).
He will receive this award together with Jason Riveiro, the President of LULAC Cincinnati (they are pictured above with Cincinnati Mayor, Mark Mallory). Michael is Vice President of LULAC Cincinnati.
Michael and Jason have been chosen to receive this award by a committee comprised of hospitality executives from across the region because of their dedication and partnership with the CVB, and for the significant contributions they made in bringing important meetings, such as the 2011 National Convention of LULAC, to Cincinnati.
Each year the Cincinnati USA CVB honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the convention and tourism industry with the Spirit of Cincinnati USA Award . The award have quickly become a recognized and coveted honor in the community - it's the highest honor the CVB gives.
The Award ceremony will take place on Thursday, February 12th, 2009.
This is the second Spirit of Cincinnati Award for Michael Beck. In 2006 he received already the Wendell P. Dabney Award for Diversity. Named for the son of a Virginia slave who attended college in Cincinnati and was an author, publisher, musician and political activist early in the 20th century, it is given to an individual or organization for the practice of diversity and inclusion, making Cincinnati a destination of choice for people of all backgrounds.

Wow! It's been already two years since MidwestLatino was created in Oct. 2004. Time definitely flies when we're having fun, and these two years passed with a speed of light!
From the start, the three focus areas of MidwestLatino were defined as:
- building bridges between cultures - making a difference in the community, and - celebrating diversity
The results exceeded by far our wildest dreams and expectations. We've made hundreds of friends across Midwest, received several awards, and were invited to join several boards of different organizations, but most of all, were able to promote multi-cultural awareness, understanding, respect and harmony among different ethnic and nationality groups in the Midwest.
Our most sincere thanks to our friends, partners, collaborators, and supporters. We couldn't be where we are now without your help, trust, and support.

We've been working with DJ TaZ, the #1 DJ in Indianapolis for the last couple of years, and decided that it would make sense to work closer together as MidwestLatino. So now you have it:
We'll have tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 21st, a great opening Party at COZY (20 N. Pennsylvania Ave.) with LIVE band "Salsa & Company Latin Ensambele", and of course, DJ TaZ
And we'll raffle out 10 tickets to Puerto Rican Power concert on Oct. 29th in Cincinnati.

We would like to welcome to MidwestLatino our new columnist: Adan De Gracia. He is a sports journalist of "Mi Diario", a Panamanian newspaper, and we are very fortunate to have him as our new columnist.
We are happy to announce that MidwestLatino's founder, Michael Beck, has been elected Vice President of Inter-Ethnic Council of Greater Cincinnati.
The Inter-Ethnic Council of Greater Cincinnati (IECGC) is an independent, non-profit organization supported by members from various ethnic groups. The IECGC, known also as the "Greater Cincinnati's Cultural United Nations", exists to promote multi-cultural awareness, understanding, respect and harmony among different ethnic and nationality groups in Greater Cincinnati. It was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1992.
NSHMBA was created in 1988 as a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization. Widely known as the "Premier Hispanic Organization," NSHMBA serves 29 chapters and 6,500 members in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It exists to foster Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development. NSHMBA works to prepare Hispanics for leadership positions throughout the U.S., so that they can provide the cultural awareness and sensitivity vital in the management of the nation’s diverse workforce.
2006 is a very important year for the Cincinnati chapter of NSHMBA, as it will host the 17th Annual National Conference of this organization. There are over 7,000 Hispanic MBA's expected to come to the conference, and with this number this will be definitely the biggest gathering of Hispanic professionals in history of Cincinnati.
To become member of NSHMBA, please contact our Cincinnati chapter's Vice President of Membership, Juan Lazarde.
