🌊💙 YEMAYÁ Mother of the Ocean

Yemayá, one of the most beloved Orishas in Afro-Cuban tradition, represents the sea, motherhood, protection, and the power of life.

🥁❤️ Sharing emotions through dance and having the honor of teaching in our own country what we truly love is a privilege we embrace with gratitude and respect.

✨ Culture is not just danced. It is lived, felt, and shared. 🇨🇺

Casineros invictos en el escenario 🔥

📍 Tropical Night by @salsaflashleuven 🇧🇪
📆 2026-05-09
📸 My buddy Kamal (using my rig), because he knows how to capture the rotation of casino.

I've been dancing for 1 year and 7 months now (Alana for over 2), and yet, I enjoy dancing with my favourite casineras more than ever. You would think it gets boring like so many things, but I guess the human brain has a reward system made for dance.

I've not spoken much about boredom, but fear of boring my followers has actually been my strongest push-motivator for learning. There used to be a time -- but at this point, it may be a year ago -- that I was insecure about not knowing enough variety to get through all the marchas and mambos of one song without repeating myself. (It is also exactly for this reason that I un-taught myself to guapea outside of ruedas.)

That insecurity was of course justified, and I eventually did reach the point of having more in my repertoire than I could put into a single dance. But even now, I am driven by not wanting to repeat myself across dances with the same follower. Every dance should be unique.

A good leader develops a sense of what he has done so far in the dance. A sort of "recency tracker". And, as this sense develops more, he'll come home after a social and be able to say which figures he never did across hours of dancing. Nobody teaches this, but we all converge on it.
