Remember me?

Where have I been? Why did I stop writing? I know you’re probably wondering these questions. As most of you know, I’ve always been honest with my opinions, and I do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. So I feel its only right that I be honest with my readers.

There’s really not just one reason why I stopped writing, there’s a few. It’s NOT because I don’t love writing, or that I’m not passionate about dance anymore, this is not the case at all. The first reason is, at the time when I stopped being active on my blog, I was going through a lot personally. As you all know I formerly resided in Toronto. At the time I was a bit frustrated with myself because I hadn’t achieved some personal goals (career, financial, etc.) like I had wanted to. So I decided to take a step back and re-evaluate my life. Initially this is what stopped me from writing, because I needed to take some time to focus on myself. After doing so, I decided that the best decision for me, at the time, was to move back home to Ottawa, save some money, recheck goals, and then to return to Toronto. So yes, I now live in Ottawa. So I guess this means I should change my name to OttawaSalsera? NOPE, not happening! I’m a Toronto (or should I say TorOUNO) girl through and through. I have now been living in Ottawa for a year, as of March 1st.

Initially my plan was to continue with my blog here in Ottawa, as well as including posts about Montreal (because Montreal has an amazing salsa scene as well). Unfortunately, three weeks into living in Ottawa I suffered a bad accident. Ok ready for this? Because it’s pretty cringe worthy… I partially tore my ACL and sustained a tear in my meniscus. What does this mean? To break it down, everything I was used to doing in my life (dancing 3-4 days a week, working out daily) I could no longer do, at all. When the doctor told me about my injury my first question was, “will I be able to compete?” I had been planning to compete at the World Latin Dance Cup that year. The doctor said “No, you can’t train seriously for at least a year, because dance is pivotal movement which could cause further injury.” I was crushed. To be honest I was in denial. About a month after the injury I went social dancing (I know pretty stupid) and realized, of course, I couldn’t dance. This was the first time it really hit me. I was in disbelief. I cried many times. I really went through a sort of depression. I think most of my readers will know by now that dance WAS my life. I danced on a couple teams, I performed, I practiced 3-4 days a week, I went to socials. Dance wasn’t just a hobby. It was my passion yes, but it was also my social life. I danced when I was happy, sad, frustrated, mad. Dancing was my way of expressing myself and releasing energy that I couldn’t have in any other way. My best friends, still to this day, I’ve met through dance related functions.

I am now happy to say I finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. It has been a year since the accident and I am healing wonderfully. I have been working out consistently which has built the strength in surrounding muscles of the injury. I now am able to social dance. I am not 100% at socials, I would say I’m 80% myself, and I still do have to be very careful. Recently I went to a social and danced pretty hard for 4 hours straight. I felt fine. I was staying at my friend’s house in Toronto, and in the middle of the night I woke up in extreme pain from my previous injury. I then couldn’t walk properly for two days. So yes, I am nowhere near 100%, but I am so happy with how I’m healing. At this point I’m just happy I can social dance! Slowly, little by little I’ll get back to where I was, but right now I’m just truly grateful. Grateful I can walk, so I can dance! Appreciate your body my salseras and salseros, after all it is our instrument, take care of it.

But here is the happy ending to my long story… I’M BACK! I’m back at full force, and ready to write, interview, and share videos of the Ottawa salsa scene and some of my Montreal salsa adventures. Another aspect I’m going to be adding to my blog, and that people have been asking me for sometime now, is reviews. Now please don’t think that these reviews are going to be negative. For those who are regular readers, you know I always aim to be positive and create positive posts. I don’t believe in negative comments or energy. My reviews will aim to review the overall atmosphere of socials, events, and congresses. I’ll do this by taking all things into consideration, like the type of Latin music that’s being played, the level of dancing, the venue. Some events cater towards beginners, for example, and that’s fantastic! But then there are events that cater towards a more advanced crowd that might intimidate beginners. My blog is and has always been about providing information. I want the Latin dance community to continuously grow, and as you grow you develop, and learn and change. I want our community to be constantly growing and evolving for the better.

In saying this, I also have some awesome new interviews to put up. I even have a special interview from an internationally recognized Bachata instructor. Hmm who could it be? Well my salseras and salseros, I guess you’ll just have to keep one eye open on my blog and see ;)

Favorite Social Dances

Social dancing is a very important part of our community. It’s where you get to practice everything that you’ve learned, work on your own style, and truly let yourself go. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I will take flavour over technique any day. Technique can be taught. However that natural flavour or essence in interpreting the music can take longer to learn, or feel comfortable with. A friend asked me “how do I interpret the music better?” I told him you need to connect to the music. You don’t just “feel it” you need to consciously listen to the music and find what you can connect to. Next time you listen to salsa close your eyes, sit down, and listen, what stands out to you? What do you hear that you connect with? Is it the piano, the trumpets, the drums? Find what you can connect to, now take that and try to interpret it through your body. Practice at home so when you go social dancing, you can actually DANCE and not just do the steps or patterns. Lose yourself in the music my salseros and salseras.

Felipe Palleros Interview

I’ve always loved Kizomba, form the first moment I saw it. I thought it was a graceful strong, and sensual dance. I think the main thing that sold me was seeing how much trust you have to have with your partner. Yes, you do need trust with your partner in every dance style, but let’s be frank you rarely see it in a social dancing atmosphere. Kizomba is so unique because to truly understand it you have to trust. You have to let go and be free and willing to connect with your partner, to go on a journey to get lost in the music. As much as I loved and respected this beautiful Angolan dance, to truly understand it took me months! Oh but did I ever try! I learned the basics, watched videos, dance with males and females, but I just couldn’t let myself go... Until I danced with Felipe. I had met Felipe in the salsa community, and had danced salsa and bachata many times. He had recently gotten into Kizomba and was assisting to teach it. We were at a regular social and i had told him that i really wanted to learn Kizomba, but I just couldn’t grasp it. He pulled me to dance with him, of course me feeling defeated told him there’s no point I suck. He responded with, “shh close your eyes and just listen to the music I’ll do the rest.” What happened next truly was magic. I finally understood this elegant Angolan dance. I wrote about this experience and you can find it on my blog titled Epiphany. That was over a year ago. During this past year and half Felipe has intensely studied this dance and its roots, not only so that he can better educate himself, but also his students. He also recently had the opportunity to teach workshops in Chile. He has finally decided to go out on his own and start performing his own choreographies. I got to catch up with him as he embarks on this new journey.

TS – When did you first hear and see Kizomba?

Felipe –  I saw it at the Toronto Bachata Festival when Albir & Sara were teaching the workshop. That was the first time I saw it but it actually didn’t catch my eye at that time. I didn’t take the workshop I just watched them. At the time I didn’t know who they were. I just knew they were some of the judges, who were judging me in the Bachata competition.

TS – What attracted you to Kizomba?

Felipe – A random day with a friend we were at my place and she said I want to learn Kizomba. I said let’s do it. We took our first basic lesson from YouTube! Since that day I fell in love with it and the music. The first song we found on YouTube was C4 Pedro Pikachu, and that was it I loved it.

TS - What do you enjoy about Kizomba?

Felipe – When I think of Kizomba, I think of it as a virtual sphere, as the place where I can express how my body and mind listen to the smallest details of the music to the strongest beat. It’s where I explore self-control of my body movements and mind. Where I place myself quietly to listen to my partner’s body weight in order to move flawless to the next move. It’s a combination of body awareness and thoughtfulness towards your partner.

TS – How did you learn Kizomba so quickly?

Felipe –  I was lucky to have been invited by Stephanie to join the Godanz Kizomba Practice Team in April 2013, since then there hasn't been a week that I don’t practice my steps and moves especially at home. Hard work always pays off! Also I guess because I have a dance background, that helped me to learn quickly as well. But the bottom line is I just have a deep love for it, and I have literally dedicated hours and hours to learning as much as I can. From music, to learning different styles of Kizomba. I got so into it so quick that I’ve been performing, choreographing, teaching, and even “Djing” at socials, and I love it.

TS – Why do you think Kizomba is so popular?

Felipe – I think it’s popular first and foremost because it looks very easy. Salsa and Bachata you see it and when you watch the pros you think, oh I could never dance like that. However with Kizomba you see and think, I can do that. You can have a good Kizomba dance with just basics as well. But in reality we know that Kizomba isn’t easy at all, and there’s a lot of technique that goes into it. Next reason, I believe because you get a very deep connection with your partner.

TS – What do you think is the hardest challenge for males/females when first learning Kizomba?

Felipe – I think the hardest thing is to get that caramel feel, that smoothness out your dance. To get grounded but still have an elasticity feeling. For males to take control of the females who want to back lead, or want to look good and they’re doing all this extra unnecessary stuff to look good, as result the male gets pushed around. You can get the steps but doesn’t mean you can lead it properly. You have to have body awareness. Everything down to your fingers to what kind of pressure you give her. For females I think the hardest thing is for them to trust, and do nothing. A female needs to control her energy. Females want to look good and do all this Sara Lopez moves but you need to focus and listen to your partner. When females think too much they tend to anticipate moves and they forget about the leader. For both men and woman I think the hardest thing by far is to control your mind. How do you really teach that? That you have to slow down your thoughts and be in control of your mind. What I suggest is to pay attention to your breath.

TS – What is Tarraxa?

Felipe – So lets start at the beginning. First we have this dance called Semba which is from Angola. Which in their native language Semba means “touch of the belly”. The mother of Semba is called Masemba. So from this mother danced developed Semba, then in the 1980’s music and fusion of beats started to changed things. From Semba and Zouk came the development of Kizomba. The mainstream Kizomba music we hear now is in Portuguese. Then from Kizomba came the development of Tarraxa. Tarraxa has a stronger bass in the music. In this style you lead with the wrist/hand and do a lot more hip isolations. Kizomba tends to have a stronger frame. However with all this being said, Kizomba is something that is done in Angola and its very traditional. Its in recent years that its become more commercial and has been taught in Europe.

TS – Who are some of your inspirations?

Felipe – Felicien and Isabelle and their afrolatin connection are my top. But with that being said, I watch A LOT of videos and admire all styles of Kizomba.

TS – What would you say to those who say Kizomba is just too sexual or its a sexual dance?

Felipe – I believe if you’re a dancer you won’t find it sexual.It’s not about sexuality it’s about sensuality, its about body awareness.If you don’t have a dance background though, then I can see how you may see that. But I would say to try it first, because it’s nothing like that. But If you are already dancing it and still find it sexual, then most likely you’re doing it wrong. The connection comes from your upper belly not from your crotch!

Any last thoughts? 

Felipe - My style of Kizomba is a reflection of who I am. I’m a perfectionist, who is passionate, creative, and a bit of a control freak, AND I’m diagnosed with ADHD. I would love to take things slower sometime but my mind sometimes doesn’t let me, and I refuse to fight against who I am. I’m aware that I could be criticized for having my own style, whether is too hyper or not traditional enough, etc., But, I’d rather stay true to who I am and not try to copy anyone. After all, I’m not just a Kizomba dancer, I’ve been dancing and performing since little and therefore I developed my own style from my own experiences.  (Chilean folklore, Brazilian axe, samba, salsa, bachata, cha cha, latin hustle, pachanga, and learning zouk).

Popular dancers that have fused Kizomba with tango, hip-hop, tarraxa, etc., are highly criticized. But they are also the most requested around the world and the most watched on youtube. Also they have inspired so many people to learn or keep challenging their Kizomba skills, so we have to give them a lot of credit for that. i.e., Albir and Sara, Moun and Julie, Enah and IsaBelle, Ivo and Shani, and many more. 

I do not come from Angola, I come from totally different culture. Therefore I won’t be able to dance just like them or have their style. It makes sense. However, I completely respect and acknowledge Kizomba as an Angolan dance and its roots and it is very important to always promote kizomba for what it really is.

I'm very glad to be able to contribute to the Toronto Kizomba community and its expansion. Of course, I do support all schools/promoters that are working hard to make the Kizomba community bigger. My hopes is that we all come together to support each other and we focus and what we love the most, Kizomba.

Favorite Performances

When I first started dancing Salsa this was one of the performances that stuck out to me for its creativity and energy. Rodrigo & Selene are not only amazing dancers but performers. In this routine even tho musically, its not the typical, "salsa song" you would see, they truly turn the singers voice and their bodies into instruments. So easily to see the music flow through their body. Pay special attention to all the in between steps they do which accentuate the performance.

Sometimes I can get in a negative mind frame, the best cure for that is music. Although salsa and bachata are my first loves, Kizomba is my favorite genre to listen to when I just need to relax, and get out of my head. This is a great mix by a Toronto Kizomba dancer and teacher.

Kirt & Andreea social dance boogaloo

Kirt and Andreea are both dancers and performers based out of Toronto. They're both currently part of a new dance team called La Familia. These two are also avid social dancers.

This was recently posted by one of the directors of Araguacu Latin Dance Company, Kimberly Ramos. I couldn't agree more with what she wrote and it was written so eloquently that I had to share... ONE VOICE: ------------------------------ I would like to repost my own opinion and response to a growing subject, and what was brought up in a fb status I came across. I do feel like there has been a lot of negative backlash that has shrouded the discussion of 'Bachata' as of late. It's been a hot topic of debate, and I believe there have been some valid points argued and brought up by both sides of the discussion. As a result, there is also alot of room to take in what has been said, and use it in a positive way to gain knowledge about something we share a mutual love for, that we may not have known before. With that being said. I believe dance is expression, dance is creation, and dance is fulfillment. It captivates audiences, and it is a method and form of release, as it teaches you so much about yourself. Without classification or distinction between 'styles'. The love and growing appreciation for 'Bachata' as stemming from its traditional, cultural, historical and musical roots, is what has been the main driving force that has allowed for Bachata congresses and festivals to become part of the World Circuit. Bachata was gaining popularity slowly within the Congress/festival circuit over the years, but I would not go so far as to say that 'dominican bachata' couldn't break through, when historically it came first. Evolution ran it's course to develop fusion forms of the dance and music. Now, my biggest issue is the use of the term 'dominican bachata'. And I believe that this is where the biggest issue lies for most 'traditionalists'. All Bachata is Dominican. All forms of Bachata with retrospect to the dance component, stem from the original form, and structure of Bachata. And all varying sounds of Bachata music have stemmed from, and evolved from the original sounds of Bachata, as it has evolved through time. Over time different sounds have helped to popularize 'Bachata' to a mass-market audience, but as a Dominican, I can also argue that Bachata has always been popular, and was popular to me from the day that my parents first exposed me to it (as is the case for all Dominicans and those who grew up exposed to the culture, traditions, and music). For many of us, Bachata has always been popular, and growing up I too also enjoyed the sounds of Aventura, Xtreme and the like. Why? Because all these sounds are Bachata, and all these sounds are Dominican. Everyone is entitled to develop their own flavour, and infuse their own essence into any form of dance they choose. It's like cooking. You can create, alter, and play around with a recipe, and put your own twist to it, but that recipe still stems and comes from the original way of cooking that specific dish, as per the culture from which the dish stems from. So, the major goal of 'Traditionalists' is to attempt to propagate and educate all those Bachata lovers around the world on the original form and structure, the history, the music, the traditions, so that a deeper understanding of 'Bachata' could be attained on a world wide scale. Therefore, I don't believe that (for discussion sake) Traditional Bachata needs Urban Bachata, more then vice versa. Because Urban Bachata developed from the original dance and music, and Bachata as a whole eventually became popularized. What 'traditionalists' are seeking to accomplish, much like what I hope to accomplish, is to further the knowledge base and love that we all have around the world for this wonderful thing called 'Bachata', so that a deeper understanding can be achieved as to what it is, what is its story, what is its history , what is its culture, and what is its traditions; and how it continues to evolutize and become all that we see today. People can dance Bachata and favour whichever "style" they choose to favour, but Bachata is and always will be Bachata. Bachata shouldn't be classified as Dominican, or as a Dominican style, but rather other styles should be given its due name depending on what dance form it has been infused with. I for one am proud to see how Bachata has been accepted, loved, and supported on a world wide scale. But, we should always seek to further our understanding of our passions and loves, if we ever hope to grow beyond our limits! Much love, and thanks to everyone that has contributed to the growing love and support for a music, and dance, that has become so very near and dear to all of us around the world!

Araguacu Latin Dance Co... Week 8

Bachata is easy right? Well that’s what everyone thinks. I think that’s what deters a lot of people from taking classes. I’ll be honest most of what I’ve learned has been from social dancing or self taught. I only ever took 1 level of bachata classes in the past with a very well known school, which I won’t name. What I learned there however to what I learned with Araguacu was night and day. I always felt that something was missing in my bachata. I found that missing piece with Araguacu Latin Dance Company.

What a lot of people don’t understand about dance, no matter the style. There’s always your fundamental steps that you need. This is often overlooked in the Latin dance scene, and very overlooked when it comes to bachata. Most people think its a just basic step 1,2,3,4 – 5,6,7,8 and a pop or tap on the 4th beat. People look at dancers like Jorjet and wonder how she’s able to move her hips so effortlessly.  I think a common misconception is, people think that the movement and power is coming from her feet and legs. I’m not going to deny it that’s what I thought as well, until I took classes with Araguacu. From the very first class, Geo & Kim are strict on grasping the fundamental steps, and for this they have my respect. A lot of teachers will show you the steps, but won’t actually teach you how to execute them properly. It’s like baking a cake, your teachers shows you the finished product its beautiful tastes delicious, however they don’t give you the ingredients or cooking directions on how to make it. Sadly I’ll be honest that’s what I see a lot of in Toronto. To have teachers who emphasize the basics and fundamental components is very important, because your basics will never change. As long as you can grasp them you can dance with anyone, leading or following.

Very rarely as far as I know, there are no other teachers in Toronto who actually break down the musicality components in bachata. Some people might think its not important to know the instruments or how they break down to compose bachata music, but its actually probably one of the most important concepts. Why? As dancers I've always said this and I believe this through and through, we are an interpretation of the music. We don’t dance to the music we dance WITH the music. We are musicians only difference our body is our tool. Sadly this is a concept that many have forgotten. To understand the music and to have teachers who are able to break it down to you is so rare. So when I learned Araguacu was going to be offering this in their classes, I knew I had to take advantage.

Lastly another very important aspects I learned, was Dominican culture. This is something that is ALWAYS overlooked. I’m Latina born in San Salvador and raised in Canada, I’ve been listening to Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Boleros and on and on all my life. One things that is commonly overlooked when teaching any style of Latin dance is the culture. I don’t think enough teachers realize that it is a culture, and you have to respect the culture. To someone who is from non Latin decent, to you its just a dance, but to me that’s my culture. So you need to respect it, understand it, and value their traditions. Bachata is from the Dominican Republic, so please stop saying Dominican Bachata. It’s from the Dominican it always has been always will be, there’s traditional bachata and modern as well as other styles, but bachata point blank is from the Dominican. Instead of taking from the culture and making it our own, we should be respecting and learning from it. Araguacu Latin Dance Company understands this and respects the culture to its fullest, they give their students a good understanding of the culture and feeling of bachata. Again for this they've gained my respect, and my love.

These past 8wks have been a learning and growing experience. I look forward to these new 8wks coming, as I move on to level 2. I could go on and on talking about Geo & Kim and their teaching style, but I’ll let their dancing speak for itself.
