Dear Maribel, Gracias a ti y a sus hermanos--otra vez--por presentarme al mundo de la salsa. Gracias a dios que tuve mis primeras clases con su maestro mas amigalble y inolvidable, Ruben. Este hombre era muy paciente y chisto y por su parte, Maribel, fue y buen decision contratarle como maestro por su empresa. Yo he visto a los programas para "principantes" de otro maestros; hay muchos que son muy complicados, mueven demasiado rapido, y les dejan frustrados a los estudiantes. Tu y sus hermanos han construyido un programa que es acesible y posible que entender...AUN para nosotros que tenemos dos pies izquierdos! Saludos, un abrazo para ti y espero que todos sus suenos sean realidad para 2004. Sinceramente, Frank Long (Tu alumno grenudo)

Maribel's Christmas Party in the Golden Sails Hotel (PCH Club) in Long Beach was very nice, lots of people and friends got together to celebrate this event. Also everybody enjoyed the dance show by Latin Dance Forever Students which was pretty good, and the Music with "Susie Hansen" Live Salsa Band, which also was great. Congratulations to everybody, and keep the good work.

Great work from Latin Dance Forever.

Maribel: I'm so excited for you and your family + Dance Company. CONGRATULATIONS on your tenth year. Wow...it's been ten years? I could've sworn that we were just celebrating your 6th year anniversary (hmmm was that one @ Tocororo or was it Inka or darn memory...its not doing as great now as I'm aging...hehe.) But I sure have vivid memories about all of us...especially the time when we did the Casino Rueda for that Local Television, remember? That was soooooo much fun!! I ran into Tony Platero @ Steven's last Tuesday. I mentioned that I learned from you & Arturo & Pablo. You introduced me to your younger brothers & they really took the time & patience to get me to NOT BE SO STIFF when I dance...hehe. It all started from you @ the Lakewood Hop. You changed my life around. Thank you so much! Tony had told me all the wonderful stories of how the Purizaca's started in this Salsa world. Quite a history...and he's quite a storyteller!! God Bless. Love, Jacky Palmer

Hi Maribel, Jorge & Juan... I finally experienced every Salsera's dream. To be in the "Salseros corner" of the dance floor and to be passed from one Salsero to the next. It finally happened! Because of my classes with you,Juan,and my many private lessons with Jorge I was able to happily handle the experience with a Salsera's confidence and joy. It was a very long and very fast song, and I had six Salseros to dance with the entire song. What more can a Salsera ask for! It was great! So thanks to the entire family for your great teaching and turning me into the Salsera Caliente that I always wanted to be.And I know there is always much more to learn. Lots of love...Josette

I have taken several classes at El Pollo Inka on Fridays. The instructor (Jorge?) has always been very good. Although I know this may be hard to work out, it would be nice to have some music at the end of class after the patterns have been taught.

Hi Maribel, just wanted to say Hello and wish You and Juan, Jorge and Jose all the best in the New Year. I'm really missing the salsa lessons I had with you guys. We, my wife and me started a salsa class in a dancing club here in our town, but we like your style much more. I'm still hoping to be able to visit LA again in the next year. It would be great! See You maybe then Peter

My name is Shandira Lopez. I went to Pollo Inka to take my first Salsa class on April 15,05. First I would like to recommend Jorge on his professionalism he displayed on the class. Being it was my first class I was very nervous, but the way Jorge and the other class mates handled my visit was more then I had expected. They were very pleasant people to be around with an enjoyed the vibe. Therefore, I'm looking forward to joining the classes more often. Since the experience there was more then what I had anticipated I feel comfortable to join the classes more frequently. Lots of love, Shandira : ) Mi nombre es Shandira Lopez. Fui a Pollo Inka a tomar mi primera clase de Salsa el abril 15.05. Primero quisiera elogiar a Jorge en su profesionalismo que él exhibió en la clase. Al ser mi primera clase estaba muy nerviosa, pero la manera el que Jorge y los alumnos manejaron mi visita era más de lo que pense fuera hacer. Me hicieron sentir muy comoda, las vibras era buenas y gente muy agradable al estar alrededor. Por lo tanto, estoy mirando adelante en continuar con las clases más a menudo.

Maribel, This is Pete you probably don't remember me I used to take your classes at Pollo Inka and the hop around 1998-1999. You were my first and still favorite salsa teacher. I am so glad you are still teaching and dancing. Anyway I moved back to Florida in 1999 and started a family.

Thank you for teaching me salsa I will never forget you guys. Hope to pay a visit to one of your classes again someday if I am ever in LA. Say hello to Juan and Jorge for me. Here is a recent photo maybe you will remember me. Take care.

thanks to you all!

At all good things becomes a end. My big America adventure is beyond. Words fails if I must describe all what I have made there. I have rolled of the one phase to the other stage. From working behind a counter, to a salsa-aerobics teacher, to a very appreciated colleague at Latin Dance Forever. I want to thank once again Maribel awfully for the faith in me. I am happy that I had the chance to enjoy such a wonderful family. I felt like I was one of the family members. Big, big thanks. Also to Juan-Pablo, Jorge & Mario.
