Salsa lovers savor the first dance
More than 200 staff, students and community members attended OU's first International Salsa Ball Friday.
The event was deemed a success by Latin Dance Club organizers Mohan Incharas and Maritza Rodriguez, who envisioned hosting a Salsa ball to rival Stillwater's, over eight months ago.
"We never thought we'd have this kind of turnout," Rodriguez said. "And there's still more to come."
Incharas said he hopes to make Salsa a part of people's daily lives and not just something they do on the weekends.
