			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is coming from <a href="http://gallery.me.com/jayjayafrica">Jamieson</a>, a salsa dancing friend of mine in SoCal.  I&#8217;ve got 18 great pics of his from his online gallery.  Here&#8217;s one of them:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancehop/3602402606/in/pool-dancehop"><img alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3602402606_0368fed94d.jpg?v=0" title="Palm Springs Salsa, Strut your stuff?" class="alignnone" width="500" height="223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Palm Springs, Stru your stuff?</p></div>
<p><br/>There&#8217;s too many great ones to show up here at once, but this did inspire me for another possible title for the fourth category (get recognition) which is &#8220;Strut your stuff with your friends&#8221;.  Here&#8217;s another good example of this:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancehop/3601588277/in/pool-dancehop"><img alt="Palm Springs, Salsabor y Cache" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/3601588277_20fcb2b62a.jpg?v=0" title="Palm Springs, Salsabor y Cache" width="500" height="257" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Palm Springs, Salsabor y Cache</p></div>
<p><br/> As always, your opinion is highly valued, either here on the blog, or on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/DanceHopcom/76548319289?ref=ts">Facebook Fan Page</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vladimir Estirin, of <a href="http://www.tangoafficionado.com">tangoafficionado.com</a>, recently submitted some great photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dancehop/">the DanceHop competition</a>.  Now we&#8217;ve got a flavor of tango for DanceHop!  With so many great submissions, I&#8217;m thinking of adding a fourth category, &#8220;get recognition&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_330" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancehop/3600264479/in/pool-dancehop"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3335/3600264479_3703a13160.jpg?v=0" alt="Find great events, promote your events, get recognized?" title="Tango Adamor 1" width="540" height="350" class="size-full wp-image-330" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Find great events, promote your events, get recognized?</p></div>

Possible caption: ARRR you able to get the word out?</p>
<p><br/>There&#8217;s more where that came from, as you can see from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dancehop/">the Flickr page</a>.  One thing that&#8217;s challenging about all of these great submissions is trying to figure out what ideas to get across, and who should win.</p>

<br/><br />
Original post:<br />
Want to help the start of great new site for dance? Do you have fun, interesting photos to share? Do you like shoes?<br/><br />
Then this contest is for you.<br/><br />
DanceHop.com is creating a piece to promote what it does, and we need your help.<br/><br />
Top photos will be featured on the DanceHop blog, and contest finalists will have their profiles featured and links to their homepages. Winners receive a free <a href="http://shop.dancehop.com">pair of premiere Tango Brujo shoes</a> of their choosing, custom made in Argentina. The 4 runners up get a $50 gift certificate at our store. Honorable mentions get free cover to a night out of dancing.<br/><br />
Contest rules:<br/><br />
1. Submit pics to fit one of three categories:<br />
a. Hop with your friends to the best dance events everywhere<br />
b. Find great teachers<br />
c. Promote your events<br/><br />
2. We need to have permission to put your pics on the homepage. If people are recognizable, it should be you, or they need to sign a model release.<br/><br />
3. Pics will be cropped and or shrunk to around 600&#215;300 pixels, with text on the left third of the image.<br/><br />
4. Contest ends by June 30th<br/><br />
Submit those pics by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dancehop/">submitting photos to the flickr group</a>, or e-mailing eric@dancehop.com, and tell your friends!<br />
<br/><br />
