 If
you need a break from the usual, grab your dancing shoes and
head over to Dancing With Grace Productions. There,
you'll meet Grace and Hugo A. Badillo, the owners of Dancing
With Grace Productions, Inc. One of their seven instructors
there will be ready to assist you.
 "Hugo
and I both began teaching nearly 10 years ago," says
Grace. "We have trained with some of the leading professional
dancers in the nation and internationally," she continued.
Certified
to teach LA Style, NY Style and Puerto Rican Style salsa by
the University of Salsa in Puerto Rico, Dancing With Grace
Productions offers weekly beginner and intermediate salsa
lessons in the Baltimore area. Drop-in classes, private lessons,
team building programs and school programs are taught.
 "Our
philosophy is that dance is an expression of joy, love and
communication through movement," Grace comments. "We're
trying to add elegance and grace to social dancing."
Dancing
With Grace Productions have
performed for weddings, charitable events, colleges, club
socials and holiday parties. "We have also done classes
at schools," Grace went on. "We recently taught
at the Greenmount Elementary school. The students, ages 5
to 13 learned the skills of leading their partner, following
their partner, upper body coordination, foot work synchronization
and most of all better self esteem and self image."
 Dancing
With Grace Productions
has planned a fund raiser for an orphanage in Mexico. Here,
the children are aids victims and will soon lose funding from
the pharmaceutical company there. A special event will soon
be held to raise money for the children.
"We
want to donate supplies to the children," says Grace.
"In the future, we will be doing a camera project through
Project Hope. We want to teach the children how to use the
cameras by taking photographs and discussing their feelings."
 On
April 28th a video release party will be held at Gardels
Supper Club located in downtown Baltimore. This event
will celebrate the release of a Dancing With Grace Productions
Salsa Video series. Proceeds from the video party will
be donated to the hospital in Mexico.

you decide to visit Dancing With Grace, the right shoes
