12 days and counting until Chayanne along with Marc Anthony, and Marco Antonio Solis kick off the much anticipated GIGANT3S. So you know what that means, Chayanne and Nancy O'Meara have put together a hot dance crew! Some of the faces you know and love, but most are brand new to the Chayanne family.
We start off as always, with the well known and much loved Samuel (Sammy) Nelms and Marcus E. Mitchell. Both of these extremely talented dancers are returning to the crew, fresh off the heels of mega tour, "No Hay Imposibles".In addition to Sanny and Marcus there are six new dancers that have been added to the family. Please give a warm welcome, as only Chayanne fans know how to, Alex Clark, Jessica Cropper, Audrey Douglas, Willie Gomez, Jermaine Jackson, and Natalie LaRose.
I'm totally stoked to see GIGANT3S, AC Here I come! And if I know Nancy O'Meara, Chayanne's friend and long-time choreographer, this show is going to be fresh, full of surprises, and Totally off the chain!
Peace~
Samuel (Sammy) Nelms (Always hot, always fresh)
Also returning is one of our "No Hay Imposibles" favorites Marcus E. Mitchell
Now for the Newbies!
Alex Clark (Ready to get her dance on)
Jessica Cropper (Totally on Pointe)
Audrey Douglas (Ready for business!)
Willie Gomez(Ladies....pick your eyes up of the ground, put your tongues back in your mouth and wipe the drool off your chin!)
Jermaine Jackson(All of a sudden I have a craving for chocolate!)
Natalie LaRose (My girl looks like she's ready to get her Chayanne Party on!)
Two days ago on Twitter Chayanne's long time friend and Choreographer, Nancy O'Meara gave us a quick peek behind the scenes of Chayanne's upcoming performance in Puebla, Mexico.

I can't tell you how good it feels to know that THIS Saturday May 5, 2012 we'll get to watch Chayanne and the Family back in action! While Chayanne, Nancy, and all the dancers have been super friendly and continuously active with their fans, watching them do what they do best is a treat you definitely don't want to miss.
Here's what happens when you have a family reunion....(Turn up you sound for this one, the sound is a bit low) Brandon baby, don't you worry about your cheeks! Women love a man with some thickness is his cheeks!
Here's another really cool clip that Marcus shot of Brandon and himself having a bit of "Gimme, Gimme".
As my blogger sister in arms Bariloche put down the other day, "With the excitement that has been surrounding the GIGANT3S Tour, we have all forgotten one little detail... Chayanne will be performing in Puebla for 5 de Mayo!
The City is getting ready to a magnificent show for the 150th
anniversary of the battle of 5 de Mayo in Puebla, Mexico. The Governor
of the city of Puebla explained that on this day, they will start the
celebration as they always do... with a military march and aerial show.
They will then re-enact the battle of 5 de Mayo with the participation
of 8,000 soldiers.
At night, the celebration will continue at approximately 8 pm with a
show that will be televised internationally. Those who will perform
include our beloved Chayanne, Espinoza Paz and Marc Anthony as the closing encore from the Cuauhtemoc Stadium. The FREE show will go on for about 2 hours.
If my ears did not deceived me earlier, Univision has started announcing
the show and they will televise the celebration for our delight. So
put it on your calendars! You have a date with Chayanne and
Marc Anthony this upcoming Saturday night. Get the Guacamole, Salsa,
Chips and Tequila ready!"

October 29, at the Auditorio la Guelaguetza, in Oaxaca, Mexico Chayanne ended his 18 month run of "No Hay Imposibles. I didn't have the pleasure of being at the last show, but from the looks of the pictures, the tweets, and video uploads, Chayanne ended his tour the EXACT same way that he started it.....HARD CORE!!!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there have been very few concert tours that landed on Billboard's "Top Ten Tours" every week that they had a show. Can your mind wrap itself around that? REALLY? That means that of all the tours being held over the last 18 months that NHI placed in the top ten based on Total Gross, Show Dates, Show Venue/City (Shows/Sellouts), Total Attendance (Capacity).
I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that there have been very few concert tours where there has been such a strong sense of connection from the artist, to the dancers, the musicians, crew and the fans. Thanks to the advances of the social media outlets, we were able to share tweets and videos from Chayanne and Nancy's behind the scenes clips, to the very well put together video clips made by the dancers.(Belly Buttons don't die! They multiply!)
I know I can speak for myself, my very dear friend Anniee Renes of Chayanne Rocks, and the incredible ladies of Pandora's Caja when I say that we had a blast with Nancy O'Meara and her first ever fan driven interview. Nancy you are amazing....and you Dazzle! Our interviews with Brandon Barton and Marcus E. Mitchell (go ahead and scream they are super fine hotties!)
Pandora's Caja over the last year has been a blast! It started out with just me and now I have the great pleasure of working along side five incredible sister's in the cause, Bariloche, Candela, Fantasia Chayane (who almost single handedly makes Pandora's Caja page on FB run like a well oiled machine! Besos!) Glamour Girl, and La Guerita. These ladies are the heartbeats of the box.
Yesterday Chayanne sent this beautiful message to his fans via twitter and email:
"TodayI share with youa sense of excitementand gratitude. "No Hay Imposibles" (Nothing is Impossible),my tour, has just endedand I'm happyto have shared it withyou, ineverycountry,every city, inevery heart.Only yourlove,your energy andyoursupport makesit possible for meto be there foryou.
Forover a yearand a half I enjoyed every loving detailI receivedon stage,in hotels, airports, whereverI went. It is a sign of your affection and you're all very well loved in return.I'd also like to thankthe media from all around for their supportand respect.Now beginsa new phase for me and new projects,whichI will soon besharing with you.

Chayanne"

Personally this has been 18 months of unexpected things, some good, some not so good, and then there were the things that that only sweet dreams are made of. There's only one thing that could be better than all of this.......and that I think I'll keep to myself ;)

There's no other way to start this blog post other than with thanks. A very dear friend of mine offered to translate more of the Chayanne's Mexico Suena interview. Sister Girl you know I'm sending you much love.
I think was I've found most enjoyable about this particular interview as opposed to others that I have seen is the fact that Chayanne is just being allowed to speak. the interview asks very well thought out, open ended questions to Chayanne and what he gives in return is Chayanne in the simplest form.
So thank to a very dear friend you can watch and enjoy more Chayanne!
Ferly Prado speaks………………… He is a hard worker himself so is just nice to work for someone that actually works hard and wants to be in rehearsal cause a lot of artist you know either push that to the side or don’t have that time for whatever reason or have the energy. So is just nice to work for someone that is on the same level as you as far as wanting to get the show right wanting to get everything perfect and make sure everyone is comfortable on stage.”
Cocoy Alvares Speaks...... Chayanne is a very special person, I have always thought that during his concerts there is a magical feeling to it, not sure what it is but obviously it has to do with his energy, his professionalism and all the good intentions he has and puts towards his shows. “
Doug Speaks ……………

Ferly Prado Speaks again…..
Nancy O"Meara Speaks again….
Chayanne: No, in my team there is a lot of talent, you know, there is a lot of talent through out Latin America and around the world. There are great musicians , great managers , umm great videographers (camera man) but when you work with me and that opportunity presents itself because is a spontaneous decision because you believe in that person you don’t know if they are going to work out or not , you might simply give them the job and that person shows you the professionalism they have while working with you, but it really goes beyond the professionalism that person might have , is whether they can interact when traveling with you, how are they as human beings outside of their work, how is he/she as a coworker , do they have the tolerance, because we have a tour of more than 24 countries and that’s not an easy thing to do, you leave the family your home your pillow your bed your fridge (he laughs) I have a lot of things in there (he laughs in a naughty way) leaving all of those things and having that loyalty and that commitment that I am going to do it is extremely hard and that’s what I think what makes people work with me for a long time.
The friendship, those things that human beings have that’s what we look for; (laughs) I say the fridge because when you are at home that’s where you have your belongings you might have that hole on your pajamas you walk around your house with a freedom and peaceful feeling, because that’s your nest, everyone has a nest ,everyone has that place where they feel free, like when you say (pause) in Puerto Rico we say mommy blessings or you say Hi Daddy we all at one point reunited ourselves with our childhood because inside of us we all have that little boy or little girl so is that one place where you are truly free and being able to be free that too is part of the fridge (he laughs) inside the fridge I have other things , those things that every one in the world has , I have the milk for cereals I have those little normal things ( he says this as he is laughing). But that’s what you have at home, that freedom.
