"Salsa will change your life"...

an experience, comparable to a regional league football player
finding himself suddenly in the European Champions League![]() |

Salserios. Here I got a very thorough introduction with rhythm
exercises for the first five classes. Johnny, the Salsa professor, is
not only a very thorough teacher but also an inspiration for Salsa
(quote): Original Spanish: "Bailar es un deporte, es un arte, no es saber los mejores pasos, es saber usar lo que tienes, no es ser el primero ni el �ltimo en una competencia, es superarte siempre a ti mismo, bailar es ser feliz con lo que haces, no para impresionar, sino para expresar..." English Translation: "Dancing is a sport, it is an art, it is not about knowing the greatest moves, it is about knowing to use those you have, it is not about being the first or last in a competicion, it is about becoming better, dancing is about being happy with what you have, not about impressing but about expressing..." |
