Salsa y Baile en Boda

Shanti rescatando la boda.

El viernes pasado en la noche fuí contactado por una antigua amiga para de manera urgente prepararle un numerito y la animación de la boda civil de Liz y Aldo al siguiente día en el Best Western Puerto Vallarta.
La verdad me puso en aprietos por la premura del aviso pero gracias a que ya tenía algo montado con mis alumnas Fanny y Sujel, a la disposición de los Salseros, Javi, Anel y Germán y a mi experiencia previa como instructor de Zumba en hotel y de ser bailador empedernido en bodas, pudimos sacar el evento.
Los novios quedaron fascinados. Me platicaron que temían que sus invitados nunca se pararan a bailar y que gracias a nosotros, se prendieron. A mi también me alegra poderle dar (y darme) chamba a mis amigos que siempre me apoyan incluyendo la foto y video que corrieron a cargo de Raul Rolando Rios, exalumno mio.

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.
