Corazones Salseros a San Sebastían
Corazones Salseros viajan a San Sebastian.
Les paso este dato por si alguien desea unirse a la causa.
Estoy en un grupo altruista que se llama Corazones Salseros y hacemos actividades de esparcimiento para gente de escasos recursos.
Este Domingo 11 llevaremos a los niños de la Casa Hogar Vida Nueva en el Coapinole a un paseo a San Sebastian, a Mascota y a la Yerbabuena con varias actividades incluidas.
El paseo es de 8am a 8pm. El costo es de $300 pesos que incluye su transporte y el de un niño al que apadrinarán y cuidarán ese día.
¡Si alguien puede y le late ir, bienvenidos. No tienen que ser Salseros pero si tener demasiado corazón, je je!

#LoMejorDel2014Fue
#LoMejorDel2014Fue
Aunque en un principio me quejaba por como fué el 2014, en realidad hay muchas cosas chidas que pasaron este año. Estoy muy agradecido con todos los que formaron parte de este 2014.
El Tlatoani de Chiapas
El Tlatoani de Chiapas
And when I think that Mexican Politicians can’t surprise me anymore, then it comes Sir Manuel Velasco II, Institutional Revolutionary Tlatoani, Lord of the Chiapanese, future emperor of Mexico and excels my expectations.

Malala’s Nobel Prize ceremony interrupted by a Mexican seeking for support to Mexico
Isn’t it ironic? While Norway’s Nobel fund was giving a well deserved prize to Malala Yousafzai for standing up against violence and repression on her country, they put in jail a Mexican who was seeking for international attention towards the corruption crisis of a criminal Mexican government that kills students who doesn’t agree with them.
I’m sure this was not the right way of doing things, but I’m also sure he was not seeking to “storm” Malala or threaten her with a flag. A big applause to the bravery of this young Mexican medicine student because he must be pretty much sure as we’re that Mexican ambassadors won’t help him get out of the jail. But he must be glad that his action (good or bad) will help the world raise awareness of the situation in Mexico. And by the way, as I´ve written before, congratulations to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel prize winner.

RIP Chespirito
Para bien o mal, sus personajes de Chespirito, Chavo del Ocho, Chompiras etc fueron explotados hasta el cansancio por Televisa y por él mismo, una “formula fácil” para ganar dinero, necesario para un artista, pero que a la larga, sepulta su capacidad creativa de generar nuevas ideas y proyectos.

Top Music 2014
Top Music 2014

So far 2014 is about to end, and I want to share a list of my top songs released this year. To choose them, I selected which songs I have played the most on iTunes and heard on Radio and Clubs. I added some extra points if those songs where used for any particular choreography, if they were a hit on my dance classes or if they have some special meaning for me. I tried to put from many genres. I hope you enjoy them and run to get those you like.
Ya casi se termina el 2014 y quiero compartir una lista de mis canciones Top que fueron lanzadas este año. Para escogerlas, seleccione entre las canciones que más he reproducido en iTunes, escuchado en la radio o oído en clubs. Les di puntos extras a las canciones que seleccioné para alguna coreografía en particular, si fueron un hit en mis clases de baile o si tienen algún significado especial para mi. Traté de poner de varios géneros. Espero las disfruten y corran y consigan las que les gusten. Continue reading “Top Music 2014”
Swinging Lessons
Swinging Lessons
A couple of weeks ago, Anel an L.A. style Salsa teacher friend from another academy was asking for English conversation sessions in exchange for Salsa lessons from her. I offered my help without expecting something in exchange. I was not really willing to learn “Salsa en línea” style. I’m totally Casinero (Cuban Salsa style)
However, as the English conversation sessions happened, I told her of my need to choreograph and perform something for the Party happening in J&B dancing club in 3 days. The dancing number I was expecting to show with my students from Shanti was not going to happen. Without hesitation she jumped to aid me.

Some months ago, I choreographed a nice Swing song called “Zoot Suit Riot” for the XV years old party of my dear student Rubi, so we decided to do a fresh couple version of this Swing number. Anel has never done a Swing before but she was very committed to learn.
3 days later, we got some clothes and did the number almost flawless. (We did have a mistake near the end of the song). I was not really expecting us to receive a brilliant answer from the audience. But most of the people cheered on us (Even the rival dancers who almost never say something).
I’m glad from this experience and I want to thank Anel for doing this number with me. I’m looking forward to continue the English lessons someday in the future. (At least she can practice by reading this.
