Men and women, shall we talk salsa?

We breathe airs that smell of revolution. A revolution that will be feminist and that we will make, together, men and women. We will rewrite the concepts of masculinity and femininity and accept that, just as there is no single feminine ideal, there is no single way to be a man. Through changing our behavior, we will change our thinking; but we will continue to need spaces where we can express our multiple identities and give outlet to realities as natural as the need for human contact, affection, acceptance; even more, the desire to seduce and be seduced, to touch and be touched. Virtual relationship spaces fall short when it comes to providing a multisensory experience.

The dance floor: a shared stage

The dance floor, on the other hand, provides us with a stage where men and women can share something that is much more than a hobby; it is a way of understanding life, interpreting music and relating to our own body. And if salsa is danced on that floor, the possibilities for interaction multiply. Each song change implies a partner change, understanding "partner" as two people dancing together; many times we see women dancing with women, but there are also, and there will be more and more, happy men dancing with other men. And they don't clash, because the good vibes emanating from a couple that dances and feels the same rhythm go beyond gender. This environment of full awareness, of maximum enjoyment, fosters healthy emotional relationships, friendship and acceptance of the other, whether man or woman.

Salsa: a universal language

Salsa is a universal language spoken in every corner of the planet. It allows us to express our identity in a fluid and uninhibited way. It reveals aspects of ourselves we didn't know. It helps us know ourselves better, both ourselves and others. And, despite what may be said, the salsa scene evolves at the same pace as we people evolve. It is we, the dancers, who shape it.

Men, who don't need trophy women, nor mothers, nor cooks, but women who ask us to dance and during the four minutes the song lasts look us in the eyes and make us feel like the only man on the floor. And women, who don't need Adonises, nor bosses, nor heroes, but new models of men who enjoy sharing with us the everyday and special moments of life. Speaking this language we understand each other better and open the door to possible conversations, future understandings or, simply, a pleasant and rewarding chat.

Men and women, let's talk salsa!

Men and women, let's talk salsa! Because on the dance floor we find that space of authentic connection we so need. A place where words are superfluous and the body speaks for us. Where each step is a conversation and each turn a shared complicity.

Learn this language with great professionals

And if you want to learn this language, do it with teachers who think like you; who not only give wings to your feet, but also to your mind; who teach you the basics of the language with rigor, while infecting you with the emotion of the bright future that awaits you. At Farray's, we know how to speak and teach salsa. And timba, and rumba, and son, and bachata, and kizomba, and afro contemporary, and jazz, and reggaeton, and hip-hop, and dancehall... It's our language, our culture, our passion. And we feel very happy to transmit it!
