So what makes me qualified to write about Salsa in Cambridge?

October 31, 2005

I guess my answers would be that I live in Cambridge, I dance Salsa in Cambridge, and I have been writing about it. None of these says I am qualified or that I do it well. In any case, I received a request from www.londonsalsa.co.uk to write a short blurb about Salsa in Cambridge. The message below was received through a neutral site, Salsa Mafia.

Hey,

I was wondering if you'd be interested in writing a short article about Salsa in Cambridge for www.londonsalsa.co.uk. I know the scene might not be huge, but it being in the vicinity of London, some people might consider venturing out there some time.

A friend at university there tells me there's quite a good Wednesday night happening. Together with some pictures maybe, it would be a good promotion for Cambridge Salsa.

As incentive I can only offer you credit to your article, a link to your blog and of course the knowledge that you've done something positive for other Salsa dancers. I don't make a living out of the site either.

If that sounds like an OK deal to you, let me know!

I'll think about it, talk about with some people, and then think about it more before deciding. I did ask about maximum word limit for the article wanted, and the reply was that 500-1000 words would be sufficient.

I'm also going to assume that it was a pure coincidence that I won my DVD prize from this website around the same time I received this request.
