Gerardo Osvaldo Russo

Mr. Gerardo Osvaldo Russo was born on July 3, 1984, and resides in the coastal town of San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina. His passion for Latin music began in 2005 when he first started dancing and listening to Salsa. This spark soon grew into a lifelong dedication to various Caribbean rhythms.

In 2009, he pursued a professional certification in Caribbean Rhythms at “SAOCO” Studio, one of the top training facilities in Argentina. To complete his studies, Gerardo demonstrated immense commitment by traveling 300 kilometers (approx. 185 miles) every week. It was during this time that he made the pivotal decision to dedicate his life to teaching and developing the ambitious dance projects he had envisioned for the future.

“He mentions that the city where he lived offered no way to get trained since there were few resources, and he couldn’t manage to carry out everything he had in mind. Additionally, his motivation was to grow personally as an instructor and dancer, allowing him to share all the knowledge he was acquiring with the people attending his classes. In 2008, he began teaching—initially as a hobby for a year and a half—until he made the decision to work 100% in his profession. Consequently, today he has his own dance studio called ‘Academia Salsa y Sentimiento,’ which opened in 2012 and where he currently serves as coordinator and instructor. He is also in charge of organizing the ‘San Clemente Salsa Congress,’ which he has done for about 3 years, and he organizes annual Salsa, Bachata, and other Caribbean rhythm parties for his institution; these include seminars and training sessions with high-quality, experienced instructors.”

The reason behind the opening of the “Salsa y Sentimiento Academy” was essentially a need among the people, not only in their own city but also in neighboring towns within the Partido de la Costa—the region where San Clemente del Tuyú is located. This provided them the opportunity to learn how to dance, express themselves, and find a place of freedom and belonging, while also meeting people and socializing. Consequently, it is known for being the first registered dance academy in the entire region, with the founder feeling very proud of both the team and himself.

In short, they mention that their goal has always been for people to feel identified with the activities they perform, finding a place where they can learn and have fun while recharging their energy. Students joining the academy can do so without any prior experience or knowledge of the rhythm they wish to practice. For this year, 2017, they plan to launch their official website to provide more information beyond their Facebook account. At the academy, students can start from scratch, but those who already have experience are also welcome since there are several different levels.

We work with people from 3 years old and up. The greatest goal achieved was creating an International Salsa Congress, where they aimed to take their students to compete. In 2016, they were able to do so with the reggaeton group led by teacher “Maximiliano Laplaca,” reaching the finals of one of the most important competitions in Argentina and South America, called the “Argentine Aerobics and Dance Tournament” (TAAD).

This year, along with other businesses in the city, they are working to provide benefits to their students. The goal is not only for them to have the chance to learn and have fun, but also to access discounts and benefits at shops in San Clemente. There is also a project for the coming years to train teachers who graduate from our Academy.

At the end, Gerardo Russo gives us a message for both current students and future apprentices: “My message as a teacher, but primarily as a human being, is for you not to stop chasing your dreams. As long as you work hard with responsibility, passion, and respect, things can be achieved. I also want to tell anyone who wants to come to the Salsa y Sentimiento Academy that they will find a place not only to learn to dance and train, but also a supportive group of people. It is a place where you can freely express yourself and bring out everything you have inside. Both adults and children are united by our passion for dance. We are teachers who love what we do and wish to pass it on to new generations. We are always open to hearing from anyone with new ideas to build a better SALSA Y SENTIMIENTO ACADEMY every year”.

For this year, 2017, the schedule for the various rhythms mentioned above has been available since January and February, so that everyone is informed before joining.

This magnificent Academy is located at 21st Street No. 139, between 24th and 1st Streets in San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina

Creator of Salsa Vida Takeshi Young graced us with his presence in International Salsa Magazine

In International Salsa Magazine, we have always tried to cover all types of Latin music artists, including producers, arrangers, composers, singers, musicians, dancers, and club owners. However, it is also important to talk to other platforms that promote Latin music as we do, so we contacted the creator of the website Salsa Vida, Takeshi Young, to learn a little more about this online media site and everything it has to offer the public.

Takeshi’s relationship with Latin music

In view of the trouble digital marketing specialist, dance teacher, and competitor Takeshi Young went to create a site like Salsa Vida, we obviously had to ask what relationship he had with Latin music. He replied that he loves to dance and has been doing so for about 19 years. His attendance at various salsa events led him to create a calendar for the San Francisco Bay Area, where he currently resides.

The acceptance he had led him to include much more content like articles, events, guides, and much more. The main goal was to show salsa lovers all the places they could go to enjoy this genre, but over time, Salsa Vida was turning into a sort of online newspaper that provided information on many other things related to the same topic, especially dance academies. For its operation, it uses tools like WordPress, iTools, and Chat GPT as an information bank to his writings, most of which are of his authorship.

He used the name “Salsa Vida” because of the lifestyle that he associated with salsa, which he considered to be unifying, nourishing, and joyful.

Greatest challenges in creating Salsa Vida

One of the most annoying parts about creating Salsa Vida was the calendar, as Takeshi always had to keep an eye on updates, date changes, and event cancellations. Fortunately, he always received information from many of the organizers, who told him when there were any changes in their schedules.

Salsa Vida’s most important goal today

Takeshi pointed out that, at present, Salsa Vida’s most important goal is to teach and promote salsa around the world, which has led him to write all kinds of articles in which he seeks to educate his community on all kinds of topics related to Latin music, such as “what is pachanga” or “what is cha cha chá.” With this, he wants those interested in learning about dancing or knowing more about this rich world to have a starting point from the theoretical part.

In addition to that, the website still maintains the calendar to help salsa lovers find events related to their passion near their homes.

Contacts obtained to date

Takeshi claims to have so many contacts with a lot of bands, especially in the Bay Area, which has helped him keep on growing his website. However, the people he interacts with most in this environment are dancers and instructors who give him a lot of information about their work with their academies and students.

Moreover, his work has also helped him gain invites and press passes to all kinds of events and concerts in both San Francisco and the rest of California, allowing him to cover them and bring the latest updates to his loyal readers.

Goals with Salsa Vida for the coming months

As for Takeshi and Salsa Vida’s goals for the coming months, the creative young man keeps searching for and publishing events from around the world for his readers to see, as well as highlighting the importance of expanding and publishing even more countries in his calendar so that many more salsa fans from other latitudes can use Salsa Vida to find what they want.

Today, the Salsa Vida calendar has events in about 80 countries, but Takeshi says it is not enough and wants to expand much more to other locations. He also wants to add more languages to make visitors to his page feel more comfortable, and new sections such as “Dancepedia” that would come to be a kind of Wikipedia, but focused on dance.

And if that were not enough, he wants to design an app through which those interested can use the same functions of the site in a much more comfortable and interactive way from any mobile device.

Takeshi’s other occupations

As well as handling Salsa Vida, Takeshi is also a digital marketing specialist and teaches salsa at San Jose State University twice a week.

Importantly, he has a BA in philosophy and a BS in software engineering, both from the aforementioned university. During those years, he was also a member of his class’s salsa and mambo clubs.

Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

North America / USA /

If you identify as an Advanced Salsa Dancer (ASD), remember that with great power comes great responsibility. When you become an ASD, the superpower than you gain is your awesome dance skills. You can use those skills to further your own pleasure and gain by holding them back from the newer dancers below you. Or, you also can give those skills freely to the new dancers waiting to be inspired.

Photo 1: Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

“Waiting” To Be Inspired

The main reason to be inspired is than most new dancers aren’t actually “inspired” by the dance in a deep and meaningful way. They may love it on first sight the same way you like a thing in a store or a person you are attracted to.

Photo 2: Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

But, just like you don’t know that person, they don’t know the dance yet. You don’t know yet if you want to put in the work to have a relationship. You don’t know if there’s enough to get in return until that attractive person shows you their personality. Yes, there are a few new dancers who ‘get the bug’ and dive deep right away.

But, most new dancers need time and inspiration to really fall in love. It can take you a year or maybe more. You can dance some Latin music before or get caught “Salsa” properly. It must be a combination of community, opportunity, and self-confidence that get you to that point. You need be inspired.

The Superpower

The people who have put in the work to become great Salsa dancers are the people in the best position to inspire others. Their superpower is the ability to make people fall in love with the dance. It’s the reason that international artists can inspire so many.

Photo 4: Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

They’ve put in the work that lets us see the best of the Salsa dance. We are attracted to their dancing, which is the first step, the first movement. An Artist can make someone at their first congress feel amazing, or feel horrible.

If the artist has a disengaged pity dance, their partner may not feel the desire to continue learning the dance. If the artist gives their all, their partner may find a renewed appreciation and desire for more.

Photo 5: Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

ASD do the same thing, but on a local level. They’re generally more accessible than the international travelling pros that put them in a position to immediately influence their local community. An advanced salsa dancer who gives of themselves freely will often find many newcomers who are working to be better.

They inspire a growth mindset in their newcomers. There are many examples of this in their own community. One driven earlyintermediate dancer can pinpoint the exact moment that he/she decided to really give all enthusiasm to Salsa dance. It simply took one motivational sentence and dance from a local teacher.

Passion For Community And Dance

Photo 6: Advanced Salsa Dancers With Superpower

Many hardcore dancers feel passionate about the Salsa dancing style. So, many times they forget that newcomers often don’t know enough about the dance to be passionate about it. Mainly, newcomers become passionate about the community, energy, music, and vibe. They may like the dance, but they simply don’t know enough about it to be in love. ASD, remember that how you make beginners feel will determine how they feel about the Salsa dance.

It’s you who will show them the possibilities they have to grow. Use your superpower for all good; share it with those who need you to be inspired. Sure, in a few years you’ll have the benefits when those newcomers turn into your fellow Advanced Salsa Dancers Thanks to their instructor who you are, their best dancer of inspiration.
