    Super Mario – The European “Million Moves Man”.

    By Edie, The Salsa FREAK

    Mario's Website: www.MillionMovesMan.com


    I’ve known Super Mario for years. He is known throughout the world for his amazing lead and incredible moves. His techniques are priceless to Salseros learning this dance. It is rare to find an amazing lead that can also teach well, but for Super Mario, this isn’t a problem. His classes are jam-packed every event with students laughing and learning at the same time. It is for this reason he is booked literally the entire year at virtually every major Congress in every country throughout the world.

    Although his height is VERY above average, Super Mario can make any woman feel as though she is dancing with a man of her same height. When I dance with Super Mario, it is nothing short of exciting and breathtaking. Every single one of his turn patterns is easy to follow, and comfortable for just about any woman, at any level.

    Super Mario didn’t always used to be this way.

    Edie, The Salsa FREAK knows virtually every famous Salsa dancer’s history like a book. I’ll never forget, one Congress ...

    Enio Cordoba and Terryl Jones, Two of the World’s Finest Master Instructors

    By Edie, The Salsa FREAK

    The caliber of instruction by Enio Cordoba and his partner / fiancée, Terryl Jones is unparalleled. Both teach at the Let’s Dance Studio in Alhambra, California, and have a student base numbering the thousands. Holding classes virtually seven days a week, the Let’s Dance studio has some of the largest dance classes in Southern California.

    It’s a rarity to catch them outside of their busy studio for a non-interrupted conversation, but I had that opportunity just a few weeks ago. They are both very down to earth, and genuinely nice people, who deeply care about the business and their students.

    Enio and Terryl have a dance and training background that is to die for. Both have taught and trained with some of the top names in the industry. “Enio and Terryl” have become household names with dancers and instructors from all over the world, eager to take their popular techniques classes, and instructor-training courses.

    I have known Enio and Terryl for quite some time, and have had the opportunity not only dancing with Enio, but also performing on stage with their dance company. Having been in the Salsa community now for a number of years, and continued my own education from some of the finest instructors in the world, I can often guess who has trained whom. I can always tell an Enio / Terryl-trained student. Whenever I run across one, it’s always a treat dancing with them. Each has a sharp, exciting, and refined lead, with a taste of ballroom, and a mouthful of Latin flavor.

    Enio and Terryl’s specialty is dancing to the music, which is an entirely different level of education, very difficult to find. Their methods take dance to an entirely ...

    Frame matching: a framework for teaching Swing and Blues dance partner connection
    Joseph Daniel DeMers


    Science and Educational Psychology, Overstreet Dance Gallery, Denver, CO, USA

    Frame Matching is a codified theory of partner-dance connection. It establishes a framework for breaking down and teaching Swing and Blues dance connection. It is the act of creating, maintaining, or changing tension between partners with posture and tone, in order to lead and follow energy and direction. Frame Matching is explained in terms of changes in posture, tone, tension, energy, and the direction of energy (ΔPTED).

    Currently accepted as social dance forms with occasional competitions and performances, Swing and Blues dance styles are learned and appreciated for their culture and histories, as well as execution. Technique and instruction of the dances are continually being redefined with regard to body movement, improvisation, trends in music and style, and partner ...

    "OK Edie,
    I just got back from two Salsa Congresses in [city] and [city]. I noticed that most (not all) of the "On-2" routines... well, how can I put this.

    I'll just say it.

    OK. All the "On-2" routines, the guys fingers, arm styling, body movements etc., MATCHED THE GIRLS. It looked like a bunch of GIRLS up there, but half of them were MEN!!! What are your thoughts on this?

    Dear Edie, I was at the ’03 SF Congress this last weekend and I believe I’ve had my fill of bad horrible terrible MP3 music used on performer’s routines.
    Here’s what I have to say about it…maybe you could post this so anyone coming up will take your thoughts into consideration when selecting the source of their
