Just a quick thought on the upcoming Workshop and Performance by Eddie Torres and the Eddie Torres Dancers Oct 19 at Knights of Columbus....
Eddie is known as the "Maestro de Maestros". He has been hugely influential in the growth and preservation of salsa, both from his long association with Tito Puente as well as his own teaching and performing career. Many of the great dancers and teachers in New York have come up through his classes or performance groups.
He is a wonderful teacher. His teaching style is based on breaking down steps and patterns into very memorable sections. He is known for the smoothness and elegance of his partner work. There are several Boston salseros who regularly drive to NYC to take his classes. His classes have been some of the most memorable and beneficial ones I've ever taken. I'd strongly recommend anyone who has any interest in NY style salsa to be sure not to miss this one. If you're not a NY style dancer, it's still a wonderful class and well worth attending. People from all over the world will recognize his name and think you're lucky to have had the chance to get to meet and get instruction from him. It's rare that he teaches outside of NYC.
Also, The Eddie Torres Dancers are wonderful. Lots of us saw some of them at the El Gran Combo concert recently. Don't miss this one!
