Love this podcast. Thank you for the great work and fantastic interviews!

Well done for getting this interview, Frankie really pushed the boundaries with Salsa, he's lived his dream whether people like him or not.

Soy fan y Amo ❤ tú ritmo ritmo caribeño siendo Europeo wow tienes un movimiento corporal espectacular y me encanta cuando bailas con la numero 1 Sasha F. Wow mis respetos 🫡 y admiración. En algún momento de la de vida me gustaría conocerlos. Mucho éxito muchos.

Great interview, full of truths... But he's really wrong about martial arts! The problem is not "modern vs traditional" but "commercial/money driven vs learning a new art", which also comes down to the teacher and the student (and the school/gym/dojo/...). Hell, he talks about karate kid and you can see in it that two dojos can produce two different kinds of fighters (and the new series shows that you can be a bully in a capitalist society even if you were a victim before). The karate kid era is also the McDojo era of commercial, mall places where you could get a black belt in a year or so without having learned anything substantial. I've met many "traditional martial artists" who were assholes, arrogant and bullies because the sensei is so omnipotent (almost like a guru), they never test their art in a real fight and they think they're better than the common man. On the other hand, you've got so many humble coaches and students in BJJ/Muay thai/boxing/... classes, and so many arrogant people who were humblED by just getting beaten up by smaller yet stronger students and learning to respect others, the teacher, their fellow students and the discipline required to learn a new art. You don't need a rigid hierarchy to have a good philosophy. It's a lot of phantasy too, because there was a lot of abuse in old TMA schools as well and all of that stuff from cinemas helped these frauds continue their abuse and lies because it was envelopped in a kind of mystical, oriental, "mysterious" fog.

Great advise

Maybe I missed it but can we please keep mixing songs into each other with no breaks out of the partner dance world? It’s just not a good fit and I feel like DJs are having technical skill competitions with each other at the cost of the dance scene.

So true about the struggle of being a new lead. I tell new male leads to not even social dance until you have gone to 2 - 4 months of classes. I've seen too many guys take a few classes then go to a social, get their egos crushed when barely any follows will dance with them and then quit completely. Social dancing is fun but there is no need to rush into it, especially for newly learning leads. If you practice enough and go to classes, you wlll eventually become good to the point that follows will ask you to socials. If follows in class arent asking you to go to socials, its a sign you need to practice more. Too many new leads quit because they want to social dance more than they want to go to class and practice.

The difference. Of the culture and dance industry hobbyists/capitalists. Frankie Martinez interrupts todays shallow world.

Great video Love your content

This is one of the best video from Sauceros

Amazing episode! Shawn is a legend and Shira is a force. So glad you had them on!

Best one yet guys! Love how the guests interviewed you at the start. Also loved the dive into early history of the scene! I'd love more exploration of that in future episodes.

I just wanted some tips on body movement and now I wanna become a zen master

Great episode! Appreciated the tons of perspectives 🔥

Omg stop saying like

@Beto look into West Coast Swing strictly competitions it's a good framework for what could be done with Bachata and Salsa. A follow and a lead will enter the competition paired together and be judged on their skills and capabilities together throughout the different rounds. They also have a point system so you progress and earn points you can identify who is a newcomer, novice, intermediate, all- star and pro/ champion. That being said, I appreciate the flexibility around bachata and salsa, because it's less codified. If I wanted to be "judged" I would have leaned into the ballroom scene where everything is very clearly defined.

Found you guys by accident (been dancing for 20 years), would be amazing if you had a convo with Dance with Rasa - she has many strong opinion videos about leads and follows - would be a really interesting conversation - also if you had @Born2Salsa on as a guest - his salsa journey is incredible on RUclips would be an interesting interview - good luck on the channel

Salsa was the Latin term for Swagger, style, finesse NOT a genre.

Loved this episode!

I don't dance with guys :)

My impressions 12:00 As a science teacher and hobbist dancer, hearing this guy speaking about teaching is like hearing a madman. The karate teacher slapping students in the general direction. Taking two years to get the Aha! moment. This guy thinks that everybody wants to feel like a shaolin monk living the learning life. Most people just want to dance, enjoy and look cooler.

the multiple dances behavior is often reinforced by the DJing. zouk and kizomba DJs often blend their songs much more seamlessly than salsa or bachata. there's an obvious stopping point for salsa/bachata sets.

Geez these women are intolerable. There's nothing "predatory" about trying to impress a new dancer.

Translation: If you're a beta male, then please keep your distant. If you're a hot alpha male, then dominate me and take me back to your cave to have cave babies.

47? wow I couldn’t tell

has a lot of great stuff to say but this guy is a yap MACHINE

Sometimes it’s okay to just dance, and enjoy it. That’s usually why people dance. Sorry, feeling some serious overthinking here.

So glad you had these girls on the podcast. They are so right about everything. Especially men holding each other accountable for predatory behavior in the scene. Unfortunately their negative experiences in the dance scene are not unique. Please continue to keep including female voices in your content. ❤

I listened for about an hour and twenty minutes. I guess I was expecting a discussion focused more on actual dancing but the guy was going from tangent to tangent and it was mostly a monologue.

Mcdonald’s is “successful” because it operates under the capitalist model. exploit as much as you can from your workers.

There are so many gems in this listen.. this dude is outside of this planet

Made my way here from Instagram. Excited to learn more 🙌🏽

Listening partially through at this point. Just want start the comments with this: It's happening to bachata, too. And we all know it.

Would have loved to see you ask why they think Kiz has such a huge lead-follow discrepancy.

😁🤣

Thanks for having me on 🙏🏾 Had a blast and hope to keep talking with you all more!

Honestly I'm surprised how little people go clubbing. I'm in the same boat. Clubbing feels like being fresh meat in a den of hungry tigers 🤣 And if you go and you're sober you see how messy everyone is being feels super dystopian. It's good to experience and get it out of the way. Social dancing is on a different emotional plane. Feels intentional and safe and fun on a consistent basis. Interesting topic guys 👏
