I’m a Pro

I'm a pro. No really, I am.

Not because I log endless hours perfecting my technique in the studio. (Ya, I've logged a lot of hours, but I'm not talking about that.)

Not because I've traveled to different cities around the world to perform at dance events. (Ya, I've performed salsa routines here and there, but I'm not talking about that.)

Not because I get paid to entertain the crowds or teach. (Ya, I aim to entertain whenever on stage, and I've even taught at some parties, but I only get paid in good times, and I'm not talking about that either.)

I'm a pro because when I go out social dancing, I rock the floor like it's my fucking job!

It's the passion of celebrating the music and movement (no costumes or special effects necessary) and it’s the celebration of friendship and unity – no bullshit about who is affiliated with which inner-circle/school/promoter (no cliques necessary) that makes us the real pros.

And how do I have the energy to go out during the week with a full time job? I could lie and say it's the love of dance that keeps me going, but it's the disco naps!

The disco nap is very important for us die-hard social dancers. You can get the job done with a bit of shut-eye on the couch pre-clubbing, but my best preparations for a hard night out are a few ZZZs in my comfy bed.

Just be careful – it's a delicate balance between the disco nap and full-on crashing for the night. But that's more of a risk in the winter. Summer's finally here and the nice weather brings us all out to party...so no excuses! See you on the floor!
