Jennifer Ancona – Black Belt Salsa, Certified Red Belt
Dear Edie,
Words are difficult to express to someone who has altered my life. Your being has touched me in such a magnificent way and it’s only an attribute to the magic you create wherever you are.
Being an Apprentice in the BBS™ system not only taught me how technical & precise Salsa must be to execute style and grace together, but it also assisted in melting the huge icebergs of past wounds, which allowed me to integrate a balance between steam and water flowing off the rock. (Only BBS™ students will get this!)
Yes, the Apprentice training was hard work but every moment was more than worth it. I gained a sense of self that allowed me to say ‘good-bye’ to playing small in life and ‘hello’ to a much larger journey toward my authentic self. I know confidence, trust, abundance & peace are now with me always.
For you, Edie, I am most grateful for your expertise, insight, and willingness to serve others. May you continue to be blessed in all you do! You are unrepeatable! For BBS™, it’s an extraordinary system that enters your soul and teaches you how to be a “Bad Ass” dancer!
Thank you, Edie! And thank you, BBS™ – a system that is continually being built by people like you and me who love to dance!
Be an Apprentice and watch your life explode to new heights before your very eyes!
– Jennifer Ancona

Get good FAST!!
From now on, you will address your school Sensei as "Sensei".
This word simply means: “One who has gone before” It is simply showing respect for your teacher.
EXPLAINED:
When a teenager calls their fathers or mothers by their first name, it is assumed that he or she is a deeply resentful stepchild of some sort. This is their way of showing disrespect towards that stepparent.
Sensei's cannot be your friend. They are here to teach you tools you will need to use as instructors.
None of you call your mother by her first name, nor your school teachers.
Your school Sensei's will be treated with the same respect.
SHRED the Dance Floor!
Please complete the following questions and tasks, then send to your Sensei via email.
- Why do you want to be an Apprentice?
