This is the wonderful chelsea day um we it's funny, I'm picking back. We used, we had we used to have them quite regularly. Some years ago. Obviously we didn't have anything. Last year with covet, the weather definitely cooperated today looks like this place is packed. uh I was just telling officer daniel we're walking down here. It was sometime years ago when we had the first um locker festival, latin american cultural awareness festival. It was right here in the same area and then it got so big.

U

We had to have it behind the old mystic mall, which we would have like 20 000 people. So I don't know I'm wondering now that we're back at it full force if chelsea day, if we might have to actually move to another location if it gets so big, but this is phenomenal. Like I said, it's really really great see all the restaurants here, all the people out here and and everyone interacting so yeah it's a great day.

In chelsea and if you're ready again we're going to be facing this way, I want to come people to come a little closer and I want everybody to really again participate. So here's what we're going to do, I'm going to face this direction. Hopefully you all can see me we're going to show you three basic steps and then we're going to try with some music too okay, so we so that it becomes more exciting all right here we go everybody with our feet.

V

Together, yes, you're going to bend your knees a little bit we're going to take three steps. The first step is with your left foot going forward. We go like this one step forward, then in place come back together. Okay, let's do that again, three steps and one two three once again left right left one more time left. Then we stop okay, now again we're just getting started. I know some of us can get a little shy. Please by all means I want everybody dancing today. Okay, so we're gonna.

V

Do it again, three steps here we go forward with the left. It goes one two, three, that's the first half of your basic, the second half. We take your right foot and we go back. So we go back right in place. Come back together, one more time you go back right, left right, come on. I want to see you back step together. Okay, now we're gonna combine those two steps very easy. We're gonna go like this forward. Left right, left back right, right, left right once again, one two three and then we stop together.

V

Okay, so far so good! Yes, what about you pump phenomenon? You guys doing? Okay, there, you go big shout out to fun phenomenon. You guys performing in a little bit right all right, all right good! I can't wait for that. So that is your basic we're gonna! Do it one more time, everybody! Here we go with your left. We go forward three steps. After five, six seven go and one two three back step back step together once again, step, step, step and step step. We stop.

V

Okay, now from there we're gonna do the next step, which is a variation of that basic, very easy, very simple! We're going to take our left foot, we go to the left-hand.

Y

V

Then in place then, together and then we go to your right right in place, tick up and again left right left. Then right left right once again, step, step, step and step step. We stop very easy, okay, so far, so good thumbs up in the air. If you can you're doing okay, all right good good, now we're going to try the next step. Another variation of this basic, very simple: we have our left foot going back, so we take a step back with the left right in place, then bring it together.

V

Then the right foot back in place bring it together again. So this is back step center, nice and easy back step together. One more time, step, step step, then back step together we have a rock step together and rocks that we stop okay. So those are your three fundamental basic steps in salsa right, we're gonna put them together, and then you know what I think you guys are doing so well that I'm gonna show you the basic turn and then the music very simple.

V

First, let's go over these three steps, recapping forward with the left after five. Six. Basically, go basic with the left and back with your right and step step, step now, side, step. Let's go to the left side, step together, side step again and one two three now back step. We go back left back with the left and back with your right and back step together now basic forward. Let's go step forward left and then we stop nice come on big hand for you guys.

V

C

V

Now the basic turn: let's continue with the basic turn. Let me show you what it looks like. Okay, then we're gonna. Do it together. So from your base six step, then we go forward and turn like this one, two three and back step together: okay, let's do it slow, breaking it down, really slow and again, if you're, just joining us we're doing some salsa dancing, I'm showing you some basic steps, we're gonna, do it with music in seconds and then we're gonna have a lot of fun. All.

Z

Right here we go.

V

Breaking down the right turn basic: it is one basic step now slow, freeze in the middle in three steps. We're going to do this turn ready. We go forward left, that's one! We pivot a little bit to the right, we're gonna turn on the right. Foot, use the left to come around land together and then back step. We stop. Okay. Let's do it one more time, so three steps for the turn. It goes forward left pivot right then we let together and then back step and we stop okay.

V

So that is your right turn we're gonna. Do it a little faster here we go basic. First, five, six basic step, one basic step, and now we turn: let's go one turn and land, and then we stop. I think we're ready for music, so we can put it all together with the music is when it all really comes to life. So I'm trying to do this with music. I'm super excited to do this with music. The real question is: are you guys ready for music come on chelsea? We can do better than that.

V

Are you guys ready for music? Now we're talking dj or whoever's playing the music. Let's do it.

V

All right here we go listen to the music, everybody clap your hands like this one ready.

V

V

V

Let me show you two more easy steps. Okay, then more music, because with music is more exciting. This is very simple. All of us can do it, even if you miss the basics. Okay, we're gonna do this basic stuff and then we're gonna do what I call the four walks we're gonna cross with the left over the right left.

V

Then right then left then right and then basic one, two three, and then we stop to get okay, let's break it down, really slow to make sure we all get this here. We go basic. First one basic one: two three in slow motion super slow. Okay, all right now, let's.

W

It goes from the basic right. We come to the middle we're going to tap and then we step twice to the left tap twice to the right. We add the arms to do what we call a halahala. Okay in spanish. Those of us that know spanish means pull pull. The idea is that we're using the arms to pull as we do the step cool as we do this step? Okay, very easy: let's break it down, slow all right, and then we put it all together with the music.

Hello, I'm ron fishman from healthy chelsea and the chelsea hunger network, and I want to give a shout out to the community of chelsea who really stepped up to provide food and assistance for those in need. There was food insecurity existed before the pandemic, and it blew up during the pandemic.

N

Leading the charge on the efforts on the ground was the city of chelsea, with a port park. Operation have a huge distribution of food providing to the pantries as well as transportation and other support, and those who are also, as well as the chelsea eats card, which leads the country in innovative way of addressing food insecurity caused by the pandemic.

N

Besides the city, there were those who have been on the ground before the pandemic as pantries, which would be the salvation army, saint luke's, mgh chelsea, as well as revival international and those who joined after the pandemic, seeing the need being the collaborative and seller resource center, the above all the volunteers and all these organizations that came out in all kinds of weather and can and exposing themselves in every way to be able to provide food for the community.

N

And then there were those organizations that didn't give out physically food but gave out resources to purchase food such as catholic, the wic, the snap agents as well as others that were in chelsea. So it's a total community effort that really is addressing hunger in chelsea now and will continue to do so. As long as there's need.
