SalsaEddy's Thoughts of The Day

THE KING OF MAMBO AND CREATOR OF THE NY STYLE "ON2" EDDIE TORRES...

2008-01-12T05:58:00.000-08:00

THIS MAN HAS CREATED THE STYLE THAT PEOPLE KNOW IT AS "ON2". THIS STYLE AT FIRST, WAS CONSIDER A NEW YORK THANG. BUT, DUE TO HIS INSTRUCTIONAL OFF SPRINGS THEY HAVE MADE IT POPULAR AROUND THE WORD BUT, EDDIE TORRES HAS HELP MANY PEOPLE TO BECOME SOME OF THE GREATEST DANCERS HERE TODAY.

HERE IS EDDIE TORRES DANCING WITH HIS LOVELY WIFE...

HERE ARE A FEW NAMES OF PEOPLE WHO LEARNED FROM HIM AND DANCE FOR HIM AS PART OF THE EDDIE TORRES DANCERS...

JAYSON MOLINA

THE LATEST PROTEGE ADOLFO INDACOCHEA

FROM A GREAT PERSON, DANCER AND INSTRUCTOR EDDIE TORRES HAS BUILD DANCERS NOT TO BE ONLY GREAT PERFORMERS ALSO, GREAT SOCIAL DANCERS.

MY THOUGHT OF THE DAY IS PRAISING THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE KEEPS THIS DANCE & CULTURE ALIVE AND WAS GIVEN THE TALENT TO SHARE THIS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

TO ALL INSTRUCTORS CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

CALI, COLOMBIA SALSA STYLE - HOW DID THAT STARTED?

2008-01-10T00:04:00.000-08:00

PEOPLE ARE VERY FASCINATED WITH THE STYLE OF SALSA DANCE IN CALI, COLOMBIA BUT, NO ONE KNOWS WHO CREATED THAT STYLE EXCEPT FOR THE COLOMBIANS.

IT'S NO SECRET THEY LOVE THE SALSA THAT COME FROM PUERTO RICO AND EVEN THE DANCING THAT CAME FROM PUERTO RICO.

ONE LEGEND OF THE MUSIC ROBERTO ROENA AND HIS PARTNER ON STAGE AND A LEGEND IN THE SALSA COMMUNITY IN PUERTO RICO ANIBAL VAZQUEZ CREATED A STYLE OF SALSA DANCING THAT EVERY SINGER OF EVERY BAND WAS IMITATING THEN FINALLY IT HIT PUERTO RICO DANCE COMMUNITY.

TAKING IT AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL CLAVE DANCING FROM ROBERTO ROENA AND HIS BROTHER BEFORE HE BECAME A MUSICIAN.

SOME PUERTO RICANS CALL IT CLAVE 2x3 MIX WITH JALA JALA AND BOOGALOO (BECAUSE OF THE HAND GESTURES).

CHECK THESE VIDEOS OF THESE TWO AND SEE HOW CALI, COLOMBIA INCORPORATED AND MADE IT THEIR OWN...

ALSO WATCH THIS AS THEY ARE OLDER...

ANIBAL VAZQUEZ WOULD CREATE A HUGE DANCING FOUNDATION IN PUERTO RICO AND PEOPLE LIKE STACEY LOPEZ, FELIPE POLANCO CAN TELL YOU WHAT ANIBAL VAZQUEZ MEANT FOR SALSA DANCING THAT WE ALL ARE DANCING TODAY.

ENJOY.

THE BIGGEST SALSA COMPETITION COMING TO HOUSTON IN APRIL 2008!!!

TEXAS SALSA CLASSIC 2008

Add to My Profile | More Videos

The objective behind the Texas Salsa Classic is to promote, encourage and graciously support all salsa couples from the South Region to achieve international status.

SalsaEddy believes that Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas have some of the best dancers in the world. The difference from the well known dancers and the South Region is that they haven't been recognized... YET!!!

Whether you dance "On1", "On2", Cuban, Puerto Rican or/and Colombian Style, SalsaEddy wants that everyone to be the best in their decorative style of dancing and represent the South Region of the United States to the best of their amazing abilities.

That is why SalsaEddy created this huge competition call the - Texas Salsa Classic - so, hopefully with everyone's participation and support we can make this happen here in the South Region of the United States.

SalsaEddy wants to give the probable opportunity to all those dancers to be recognized in a bigger stage than what they are use to and he cordially invite you to come and test your skills.

This competition is a wonderful tool for everyone to improve not only in their dancing but, also their performance overall.

THANK YOU ALL. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS. MAY YOU ALL HAVE AN UNFORGETTABLE 2008!!!
