My catalyst moment was when I went to an international competition as a professional helping 2 of my students compete. It was the 1st time I ever has to categorize myself as a "professional" because the definition is, you get paid to teach, which at the time, had a lot less expectation attached to it. What happened next, I couldnt prepare for. Unlike the other years when I competed as a student, I never paid attention to the competition. But for some reason that day, I did. I all of a sudden froze. I did the worse thing I could do for my students. I gave no inkling that this was a safe environment. Instead, I showed a very human side of myself. FEAR. Fear that I did not prepare them enough. Fear that we should have focused more on musicality than a memorized turn pattern.. From then on, I pledged that I would not just focus on movement technique, but also inspire creativity promote awareness and prioritize connection to the music, ourselves and each other to decide what happens next. That day, I decided I was never going back to the competition world until I knew confidently that I would be the best coach for them. Going forward, I want to know I am doing my best to provide the best service to those who brought themselves to the salsa world. That of course starts with the music.

Hey everybody! Our newest episode of Musicality Mondays is now available in the classroom! This week, we're tackling one of the most important questions for every salsa dancer: How do you actually practice musicality? Many dancers spend years learning steps and patterns but never develop a clear strategy for improving their musicality. The truth is, every dancer has different musical challenges, and knowing WHAT to practice is just as important as knowing HOW to practice. In this episode, we break down five common musicality challenges and the specific training methods that can help you overcome them! 📅 Remember, we meet every Monday for Musicality Mondays, where we explore a different topic to help you become a more knowledgeable, confident, and expressive dancer. 💬 LET'S DISCUSS! After watching, tell me in the comments: Which of these five musicality challenges are you currently working on? Your answers will also help me decide what topics we should explore in future episodes! See you next Monday! 🔥 Your body is your instrument. Learn how to play it! — Musa Starseed
