Routines

Those that have seen us perform know we try not to give just any ordinary salsa performance.  We view salsa in the same way that we view ballet, jazz, or modern dance: it is an artform -- an artform that can be used for self expression.  All our routines are choreographed with a particular intent in mind; we use salsa to convey either a message or a picture (our vision) to people.  Pay close attention, or you'll miss the main idea.

This is the way we work.  We like to ponder deeper than the dance when we are choreographing a routine, and we try to match our vision with what we feel the music is asking for.

After popular demand, Joel and I decided to dedicate a page to analyzing our choreography.  The routines are listed in order of time -- most recent first.   Read about a routine you've seen to see if you understood it.  If you took something else from it, let us know.  In the end, the most important idea is that you get something out of watching it...

Please note the link to the costumes page below, which could be useful to anyone looking for a seamstress for a performance.
