Recently I ran across these videos created by Jake, a bay area salsa dance instructor, that gives one man’s perspective on the state of salsa dancing for new dancers to the scene.  As you’ll see in the video it pokes fun at the world of salsa, specifically critiquing how dancers interested in joining dance troops are treated by some performance teams.

I’ve never been on a salsa performance dance team myself but I’d be interested to see reader reactions to the videos.  Are they accurate?  Have any of you had similar experiences?

Leave a comment here and please feel free to add to the discussion.  Thanks!

Hello Everyone! Hope all is well on this Monday afternoon.

Looks like we have a new salsa dance company here in San Diego in the form of Deseo Dance Company.

Deseo Dance, as they describe themselves, incorporates Salsa & Mambo technique with highlights from Jazz & Modern dance. The company promotes agility & athleticism through all of their dancers.

It will be interesting to see how the addition of this new dance company changes the landscape of salsa dancing in San Diego. I’ll write some more in the near future regarding the competition between the different dance studios here in San Diego.

Until then, keep dancing!!!
