The greatest gift is the gift of ourselves. So many artists, teachers, students and parents gave of themselves --of their talent, time and treasure to make the Salsa Championship a success. It was heart warming to experience the generoisty of spirit and the commitment to the future of salsa in texas by all the instructors, judges and volunteers --a high school salsa team in every Texas high school.
