Meet the director of the Academia Salsa Tepic – Mexico.

The history of Salsa Tepic :

Rafael Reyes is a Cuban who was dedicated to being a coach of Greco-Roman wrestling and Olympic Wrestling in Cuba and had the opportunity to work in Mexico in this profession during the time that his contract imposed, during this time he made the decision to live there , being his current stay in Nayarit, Mexico.

Thanks to personal motivation and the support of his students, he created and founded the Salsa Tepic Academy 6 years ago, he tells us that before founding his academy he gave dance classes at the Bar Juanes located at Rafael Buelna 86, Fray Junípero Serra, 63169 Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico; For him this was a hobby that he enjoyed very much and when he stopped working there, many of his students advised him to open a dance academy and that is how it came about.

Son Cubano and Salsa Cubana are the genres that he likes the most, he mentions that each genre has an identification in each country and in Cuba he tells us that it is very lively and dynamic which can make different fusions such as Timba ( is the fusion of several Afro-Cuban rhythms)… giving this musical genre a lot of motivation, differentiating it from linear salsa, Salsa Neoyorquina and Salsa en Dos, but be careful, you have to know the differences between traditional Timba and Cuban Timba. and very broad cultural.Being Cuban, he tells us that music is in the blood of most Cubans, especially Afro-Caribbean music, and to top it off his parents enjoyed dancing so he spontaneously inherited this passion for dance from a very young age, and He perfected his native dance techniques in workshops with various teachers.

Rafael Reyes is also in charge of organizing the Salsa talent festivals in Nayarit, they have invited Guadalajara, Guaraguato, Puerto Bayarta, among others with new talents so that they have something more than just academic learning but a new experience through participation. and competition between the different students of each city, showing all their abilities on stage; In total, it has had 5 Salsa talent festivals, which one can find out when the next one will take place through the Salsa Tepic Facebook page.

Also the students of the Salsa Tepic academy have participated in other events such as the one that happened a few weeks ago at the Bar Tango Milonga, another event they participated was the Puerto Bayarta festival, and in other places.

The dance classes at the Salsa Tepic Academy are currently active, of course with the protection measures for the covid-19, they began to work from 7 – 10 am and from 5 to 10 pm Mexico time; There they teach Cuban Salsa, Bachata, Son Cubano, Rumba, Merengue, Cumbia, Cha Cha Cha, among other rhythms, so if you are interested in learning to dance from scratch or continue with the experience you have in order to be able to defend yourself during a social, competitions, parties and / or meetings, and at the same time that the students learn to identify the type of music that they dance respecting their respective times.

And he leaves us the following message for all his readers, current and future students “Whatever happens, they dance, never stop, dance is very healthy, it takes away stress, it is motivational, it makes you more sociable and above all it is something that everyone likes when one learns … that they take off the taboo or the fear of saying I don’t like dancing because of any circumstance ”

For more information and the schedule of activities:

Andreyna Hernandez – The disabled Venezuelan Dancer.

Life is a succession of choices that one must live to understand certain meanings, many are easier, others more complex and others very difficult, and this time we have a Venezuelan dancer who can show us that everything is possible with having a strong fighting spirit and perseverance, her name is Andreyna Hernandez.

Andreyna was born on September 17, 1991 in Venezuela, studies accounting, practices swimming and is the mother of two little girls; She tells us that during her childhood she felt great enthusiasm for dance and physical activities, for this reason she became a dancer and managed to be a dance instructor at an academy, together with her boyfriend Robert Terán.

Robert Terán tells us that he and Andreyna were trained for 10 years at the Salsa & Ashé Academy and decided 6 years ago together with Andreyna to found their own academy called Fback Latino, where both are the directors and / or teachers, which is located in the vicinity of the Agua Salud station in La Cañada in Caracas, Venezuela, in June 2015, with the purpose of creating a new dance space where they can teach, “there is nothing more satisfactory than the person who learns to dance deposits all your confidence in you and achieve that goal by overcoming the penalty ”; There they teach Bachata, Salsa Casino, Kizomba and they also give a comprehensive course for children where they will have a teaching of various types of dances including ballet and contemporary dance, regardless of whether or not you have any knowledge of some of these types of dances; They mention that both they and their students have participated in competitions, although in Andreyna’s case it was mostly when she was at the Salsa & Ashé Academy on a national and international level, such as the competition in Cancun and Cuba.

During the course of time, Andreyna Hernández faced something that no one should face … on June 26, 2016 he had a terrible accident near his academy, where a tree fell on him, specifically on his legs giving a 360 ° turn to his life, affecting his profession and his day, he tells us… “That day that changed my life was because a tree fell on me, precisely where a few people and I were located. The tree falls right where I was sitting (on a ping pong table), and since everything happened very quickly I could not get my whole body off the table, my legs were trapped, being conscious, I thought I was going to lose both legs because of the strong impact I received … after this, many people tell me that God does not send tests to those who cannot overcome them ”

“This transition was not easy, since an accident that many think and wonder why it happened to me? … that even I ask myself at some point … be like that in the first photo, and that of the night in the morning life changes you is strong ”

“I would never say that this situation would be easy, because of course losing some part of the body is a bit difficult to assimilate. Adapt to doing things in a different way, to looking in the mirror and looking different. To the different looks of the people on the street …. ”

“But as my beautiful Super Coach @athletics_swim says to get toxic people out of the way, live life regardless of others. So … to live life, which is one. The disability is mental. There is no excuse. Because wanting is power. ”

Despite all this tragic event, he thanks God for having a second chance, thanks to the support he received from various academies that contributed to his recovery and to be able to enjoy his life of course, with a new physical condition that is not an impediment to carry out her activities, although she admits that she does more things on a larger scale than before the accident, surprising all those around her both within her social and / or family circle and her followers in the different social networks she owns, as we could observe in her different TikTok videos that went viral, such as: a dance event dancing salsa casino and dancing during her pregnancy… something new and incredible for all who see it.

Currently Andreyna Hernandez is not only the mother of a little girl who is her greatest motivation, but she is also a swimming athlete and who continues with her passion which is dance, the only thing that a person needs to have faith, love, perseverance, strength , positive mind.

He points out that “We all have our casualties from time to time, including myself. But the important thing about everything is not to stay down, the key is to get up and continue the path with your head held high with energy that life continues. Regardless of what they will say. Feeling comfortable with yourself as we are and with what we do is enough ”

Right now in 2021, both are giving their dance classes complying with the security measures during the covid-19 pandemic with the use of face masks and other measures, which is a mutual benefit for both the instructors and the students to clear up of the confinement and to be able to release both the tension and the style that one has inside with the practice of the dance steps.
