Clip of the Introduction to the Boogalu Productions DVD
“Un Trio Inseparable” Instruction in the traditional popular dances of Cuba.
“Un Trio Inseparable” is a master class for all lovers of salsa, Latin dance, and Latin music, who want to learn and fully explore the three essential popular dance forms of Cuba from which all modern styles of salsa developed – the danzón, son, and chachachá.
Leading the class is musician, dancer, and teacher extraordinaire Roberto Borrell, a Cuban gentleman who embodies his culture and has dedicated his life to perserving and passing on Cuba’s rich traditions. Captivated by the music as a teenager, Roberto learned to dance and play music in the vibrant dance salons and social clubs of Havana in the early 1950’s. see bio on Roberto Borrell
Over the past 20 years while residing the USA, Roberto has developed a comprehensive system of teaching the traditional popular dances of Cuba inspired by the manner in which he learned – the old school “open your eyes, open your ears” method. It’s a simple approach, yet you will be challenged to listen to your feet, to the music, and to become part of what Roberto calls the inseparable trio: the music, man, and woman.
Accompanying Roberto is his favorite dance partner Viola Gonzales. Viola, along with her partner Garry Johnson, are professional dance teachers, and offer salsa classes in the San Francisco Bay Area. www.freestylesalsa.com
