I’m heading to Chile soon. Every time I travel, I’m reminded of something important: Dance connects us beyond cities. Beyond countries. Beyond accents. Different places.Same rhythm. What we’re building here isn’t just technique. it’s a community that moves together — even if we’re miles apart 🌎 And that’s powerful. So now I’m curious… Where are you dancing from right now? Drop your city or country below 👇Let’s see how far this community really reaches.

I previously wrote how it is sometimes difficult for new mambo dancers to hear and dance to the beat of the music. There is an app I use in my teaching to help my students dance on the beat and in time with the music. It's called the Salsa Beat Machine/ Salsa Rhythm Machine which can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store. The app can isolate and play each salsa instrument and play each one at a different bpm ( beats pper minute ) . It even has an instructor voice that can call out the timing of the music and set the clave 3/2 or 2/3 . It doesn't matter if you dance ON1 or ON2 .Get this app. It can really help your mambo dancing .Keep on dancing !

Most people think they started because they “liked music.” That’s not true. You started because something inside you wanted more: - More confidence - More movement - More connection - More expression For some of you, it was a party where you felt uncomfortable.For others, it was a video that inspired you.Maybe it was boredom.Maybe it was curiosity. But here’s the real question: 👉 Why did you REALLY decide to start? Take a second and think about it. Was it: - To feel less shy? - To challenge yourself? - To be more social? - To finally try something you kept postponing? Drop your answer below. Understanding why you started is important — because that’s what will keep you going when motivation drops. Remember:You didn’t join just to learn steps. You joined to become someone who dances. Let’s hear your story 👇
