"I've been inspired by the passion of my teachers, the pioneers of the LA Salsa Style Luis and Joby and I have seen what the happy beat and community that Salsa brings to a person's life. Salsa has changed my world a million of times and I've seen lives transformed by the same clave and conga beat"
