Dance Workshop Videos from the 2025 Thailand Latin Extravaganza
Prior to my sabbatical to Southeast Asia, I’d taken almost a 6 year hiatus from dancing, as most of the communities that I’d been contracted to work at were in more rural areas of California. Needless to say, country line dancing was more the norm than any form of Latin Dance. I’d already had the ...
Dance Workshop Videos From the 2024 Saigon Latin Festival (Vietnam)
I will admit that prior to my trip to Asia, I had no idea how impassioned the people in the region were for dancing salsa, bachata, and kizomba. Here in Saigon, there has been opportunities to dance daily, and luckily my trip just happened to coordinate with the first Saigon Latin Festival. Much props to ...

Luckily, I still managed to capture a good majority of the performances, as well ...

Dance Videos From Jazmin Rodriguez’s Birthday Bash at Bachata Dolls (Buenos Aires)
One of the primary reasons that I chose to stay in Buenos Aires for an extended trip was because the dance scene here was so highly recommended by a close friend in NY. Though there are cities/countries more suited to dancing other styles of bachata, in my personal experience with dance scenes throughout the U.S., ...
Foto Fridays: Serenity (Buenos Aires)
After spending any significant amount of time in a bustling metropolitan city, I’m generally dying to ‘get out’ for a bit. Luckily, Buenos Aires has reserved an 865 acre tract of land for their Ecological Reserve. Though the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur is located just east of Puerto Madero, the area is large and remote enough to ...
