Javier (Gemini)
In
2004, Javier and Jenny became the Viscount Ballroom Salsa Champions
and won the Fernando’s Hideaway salsa competition. In addition
to performing and competing locally in Portland in 2004, they
traveled to Los Angeles and New York City to perform with the
group Salsa Con Sabor.
In
September 2004, Javier and Jenny started to dance on their own
under the name Gemini. Gemini got off to a great start in 2005
after winning the Tequila Ole Open Salsa Competition. In May 2005
they performed in LA at the West Coast Salsa Congress and on July
2005 at Congreso Mundial de Puerto Rico. While in Puerto
Rico, they received a VIP invitation to a summer salsa congress
in California. They jumped at the opportunity and attended the
Palm Springs event in August 2005. Javier and Jenny plan
to attend the Salsa Congress in Acapulco, Mexico in December 2005.
Europe is hopefully Gemini's next destination in 2006.
As Javier and Jenny continue dancing, they
look forward to the challenge of competing, performing, and teaching
salsa locally, nationally, and now internationally.
