To create a better future for himself at age 20, Andres moved to Thailand with $100, but became penniless and homeless on the beach. Starving and angry, Andres called one last friend and begged for money. Instead of sending money, his friend sent a book — and it contained the ‘secret’ that changed Andres’ life.

Listen and Subscribe on: iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Welcome to Episode 40 of the Salsa Kings LIVE podcast Today Andres wants to help you with something of a sensitive topic for early students: The Second Dance. It’s more simple than a lot of people make it to be. Just ask ‘How do you leave them?’. It’s a question that focuses on the other dancer rather than oneself and it’s something a lot of teachers will skim over too quickly. Techniques and lessons are for a partner, to be the best dancer that you can for them. You’re a good dancer for your partner as much as you are for yourself. Leads dance a particular way so that the follow can enjoy the dance as possible, while follows maintain their standards to make the job easier for the lead. Dancing is always done for the other, so that they will want to dance again. Often times, dancers will be too concerned with impressing their partner with their skill, rather than considering the needs of the other dancer. It’s more important to ensure your partner is enjoying their experience with you, to make it so that they want to dance with you again. Intention is key here. Though it is harder to execute than to simply say, so long as your feelings are present, they can be felt. The important part is making it clear that your partner is being considered and their needs are being attended to. The feelings of your partner are just as important as the technique.  At the end of the day, you have to ask what are the dancer’s thoughts and feelings about you? Have you been Chameleonising? Dance is cooperative and if everyone considered their partner, then everyone would be enjoying themselves. Everyone becomes more connected through the fact that they are both being considerate and being considered. This is a skill much like any other. You won’t be able to consider the needs of every dancer immediately, but as time goes on you’ll be able to understand what the needs of your partner are, and leave them wanting a second dance.  “If you know Japanese so well and someone is butchering the Japanese, you should be able to understand what it is that they’re trying to say and still be able to communicate, not make it a hard time for them, perhaps aiding them in the process and telling them the right way to say it, but still moving the conversation forward. And that goes for whatever social dance that we’re talking about.”

Listen and Subscribe on: iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play   Welcome to Episode 32 of the Salsa Kings LIVE podcast!   Today Andres wants to talk about plateaus. Plateaus -states of being stuck in a rut in journey of dancing- happen often. Particularly among leads. Leads often have more to learn and do in creating the dance, and as a result can hit a plateau. This plateau can be an awkward transition for many dancers. People can struggle with the fact that dance is about expression, and not just about memorizing rote techniques and technical excellent   Crossing this plateau involves learning to feel the music, understanding the flow, and getting a feel for it, rather than depending on memorization. The artistic and emotional part of dance is intangible and can be difficult to teach, learn, put into words, and especially to do. Those going through their journey should try -as early as possible- to listen to the music and focus less on ‘doing’ the music movements and instead on ‘dancing’ to it.   It can be easy for struggling dancers to be discouraged, to dismiss someone as just being ‘better’, without looking deeper and see how these ‘better’ dancers are allowing to music to touch and move them. Music is something that stirs humans. That’s why we make music after all. It is important for dancers to let the music affect their emotions.   If a dance is not connected to song, it might not be ‘bad’ but, dancers should try and move on beyond that and become involved in the music, and not simply be executing techniques. This is something that should be introduced and considered from the beginning, so dancers don’t get bogged down by technique and stop thinking about the music.   There are of course people who already feel this music, and their struggle is to control and focus that untapped potential and passion, so that can be used in a measured way in both social and professional dance. This can be a plateau to cross as well.   The important thing is be a part of the music, and not simply being a machine to the music. While technique is obviously needed and necessary, an overemphasis on it can cripple an aspiring dancer and disconnect them from the music.   Dance is, at its core, about self-expression and working in tandem with the music. Technique is the tool we use to do that. For those on that plateau, struggling to get to the next level, this episode will help you understand the art.   “I want you to take the time and experiment in your basic. I want you to be able to dance. Let’s say you’re doing Salsa. You’re first thirty to forty seconds of just basic. And I want you to see how many different ways you can go about expressing that. I challenge you to do that. And you’re going to realize that once you find this, it’s going to be so enjoyable for you that it’s incredible.”
