Julie Merrill and Anthony Persaud run one of my all time favourite salsa websites, Addicted2Salsa. I assume you all know the site but if you don’t then definitely go and check it out.
For years now Addicted2Salsa has been putting out, amongst other salsa related content, free instructional videos and podcast. These have always been available for viewing at Addicted2Salsa and on Youtube.
At the moment the entire collection (a must for every salsa ethusiast) is available for download from Addicted2Salsa with Anthony picking up the bandwith tab.
However as he is trying to save up for a new PC adding to his expenses just doesn’t make sense to me. So I have taken all the files and created a torrent (just click here to download it). This way we can help keeping Addicted2Salsa’s expenses down and save ourselves the trouble of opening all episodes individually to download them. If you have no idea what a torrent is this site offers some basic information.
This way we can all enjoy the videos and podcasts and we won’t run Addicted2Salsa’s bill up any further.
Like I already said, Anthony has been creating all this wonderful content for free. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean that there are no costs involved for Addicted2Salsa. Bandwidth, video equipment, renting a studio, lighting, editing software, etc. Like everybody else, they have to pay for that. Add to that the time Anthony and Julie have put into making the videos and you’ll realize that the costs of creating quality content runs up a fair bit.
At the moment Addicted2Salsa could really do with a new computer to do video editing as the laptop they have used for the last 3 years just doesn’t meet today’s requirements anymore.
What may come as a surprise to some people is that Julie and Anthony run Addicted2Salsa from their apartment and from our their own budget.
Therefore, they appreciate any monetary contributions or donations you are willing to provide them (even if it is just $1.00!). Every little bit helps them teach the current and future generations of salsa dancers. Your donations go directly to their costs, and helps them grow the website to offer new and engaging content. Think of it as if you were buying them a cup of coffee or a beer
.
I just bought them a round but alas, that is all I could do without getting into trouble with my own bills
If you too like what they have been doing for us than please consider making a contribution as well. Let’s make sure that they can continue to create quality content for us.
