It's a conversation whose intimacy cannot be surpassed, whether I'm dancing with the band as my only partner or with another dancer. Lately, in fact, I don't feel like I can really know someone unless I've danced with them.

One long sentence that spells out the music beautifully. No smoke, no mirrors, no bullshit. Just music and conversation. But not one word is ever uttered." And that's what makes Cuban salsa the most fresh and exhilarating dance I've ever done. “In essence, you are dancing with each other, around each other, and into each other.
