    Interestingly, Terry stopped going to that event because Bersy was singing over many of the songs when she took the mic.

    Those videos looked pretty light… 450 sounds more like the organizer was massaging those numbers

    Strait of Hormuz/Gas/Conflict Related Cancellations

    Events that rely on international travelers should def be concerned: Magic, Rovinj, Salsa Rave, etc. Even if the Strait is open today it will take about 6 months to clean up the mines. I’m seeing increases of $200 dollars or more in a lot of the flights, and lots of routes are getting cut. If...

    Festival and Travel Planner 2026

    The concerts will be awesome, the locals can barely dance so low expectations will need to kick in, lol. The food options are limited in that resort so be ready to eat the same thing every day

    Festival and Travel Planner 2026

    Shows at 17:00 seem to be a new format, last year the shows were at around 23:00. The afternoon socials were fun, mixed music (Salsa,Timba, Bachata) (a bit cold outside) The dancing level at this event is quite low, to get better dances you will need to dance with the artists, but they are...

    How advanced to you have to be to go to LVG Salsa socials on Sundays in nyc?

    With that On1 disclaimer you are giving them an easy way out to reject you. But also as mentioned above you were asking the high level dancers by the DJ booth and giving them a disclaimer that allows them to easily say they don’t dance on1 even if they do.

    How advanced to you have to be to go to LVG Salsa socials on Sundays in nyc?

    LVG has many beginners and intermediate dancing on the opposite side of the DJ. The universal tip for beginners in NY is to arrive early at all of these socials, most beginners arrive early. LVG, La Chispa, Candela, Salsamania, Bailemos Juntos and The Social have many beginners on the first two...

    Should I take a hiatus from going to socials?

    You should try dancing with followers at your level and just doing the moves you have mastered already. You might have seen many patterns in class but you are not ready to use them yet. If cannot do double turns properly yet keep doing single turns for now.

    Exactly, without a car nobody is taking a 2-hr bus or 1hr Uber for that.

    Stealing/Using Other People's Choreo

    As long as On2 exists we all owe that to ET, and future generations will get to enjoy On2 even if they don’t know who ET was, that’s undeniable. We are indebted to him.

    Stealing/Using Other People's Choreo

    One time, in Italy I asked ET who his greatest student was and he said Franklin Díaz, FD has made a lot of contributions to the dance on his own. Mon Ti is a choreo that has put a lot of food on the table for many dancers, lol.

    Stealing/Using Other People's Choreo

    Adolfo is doing what FM, FD, ET, ETjr should have done. Some of the hatred towards him comes from that. These New Yorkers let an outsider come in and do what they should have done themselves. Adolfo is more hardworking, more of a businessman and also pretty cut throat. From the outside it looks...

    Stealing/Using Other People's Choreo

    Adolfo is a clone of ET, but as you say, the style he dances is relevant nowadays because of him, ETjr has stayed behind and local. The backlash always comes whenever Adolfo tries to say something is his without acknowledging his predecessor.

    Stealing/Using Other People's Choreo

    The backstory is the recent Fernando Sosa video where he is mentioning that Adolfo taught him the name of a shine, but the controversy is that the shine was created by ET 30+ years ago and had already given it a name.
