What if Cinderella Danced Salsa ?

People often ask me where do i get my creative ideas? The simple explanation is that they come in flashes. We all have them. The only difference is that i write them down and then i ask my peers that are usually crazy enough to participate in them;)  That said, I would like to thank all the people that made this crazy idea of doing A modern day cinderella story with some salsa spice possible. Thanks to all the advanced students that stayed late after class. My 2 favorites god-mothers Viky & Marie …that have serious acting skills that they didn’t know they had And the main actress and the academy award winner Amanda who’s always onboard to create.  the main goal is always to make fun stuff to entertain you guys.  I hope we accomplished this goal, Visit our youtube channel https://youtu.be/r7X3Am3zxWw Don’t forget to like and subscribe

Here's the transcript : [00:08] Hi everybody. It's Adam from this, the pixel and I have a very special treat for you once again, a very good friend of mine from a different neck of the woods than we're used to. We're not talking about a visual artists, not primarily a visual artist, but a dance, dance instructor. In fact, a very big name in the dance community here in Montreal. Ilias Benz, why don't you introduce yourself to everybody. Let everybody know what you're about. [01:02] Alrighty then. I own a dance school. I have three dance schools in Montreal, the greater region on Montreal. I've been going at it for the past 20 years. Also running it as a, trying to run it as a healthy business. I didn't know you were doing it that long? Yeah, I started in 98, 98 back then, you know, back then and uh, so yeah, I've been doing it full time before I was more concentrating on music and now dance took over and I'm doing it full time and making sure everybody's happy at our school. Yeah, very cool. What else do you do when you're not teaching dance in your school? Me, myself, we have, we have a very similar hobby or passion in our lives. What would that be?

Bélinda Roche : Salsa Choreographer

Our Dance school is growing and so is my family. This propelled me to take a year off from creating choreographies and handing over the reins to Bélinda. She took charge of 2 dance troupes, one was a student project the other our pro team and she led them like a Champ! I would like to salute the great work Bélinda is doing for Baila Productions and I'm pretty sure more great choreo ideas are already brewing in her head ;)  Check out these 2 performances below.

Don’t do THIS on the Dance Floor

et me elaborate further, it might be long so grab a good coffee lol I made this video for all the people that made me aware of this situation. I've been teaching for 20 years, and I can tell you that this is a common situation and it generates a lot of frustration. It is often I who raises morales by clarifying the situation which is girls being corrected on a dance floor ... I begin by telling them that it is not necessarily their fault, because often they assume that it is 100% theirs. Knowing that there are plenty of reasons why a dance may turn out less pleasant, for example, an unpleasant attitude of one's partner, someone who guides poorly or constantly corrects, I always point out that a good lead is capable of making anyone dance at her level of comfort, in order for her to have a good experience. In addition, I am not against corrections and advice but am against doing this on the dance floor during a social especially where the girl did not ask anything ... It can quickly turn humiliating or unpleasant for her and it would be a bit narcissistic on our part the boys? Sometimes even if the person has good intentions, the effect it may leave on his partner at that time is not always positive. Also, often the error is on the side of the man ... to progress and improve his lead it is way better to always assume that it is his own fault and try to spend time clarifying the Lead instead of verbally directing our partners … much more effective ... In my classes, I often see students correcting [...]

Eye Candy

When I create choreographies, I put myself in the position of a spectator and I imagine what would I like to see on stage. I Love pretty much all dances and I sincerely believe that every dance has some interesting things to explore. With this in mind, during the creation process I love mixing Salsa with other dances. This keeps me in a student mode, because often I have no idea how to dance this new dance that I blend with Salsa. Every year I set out to learn the basics of a new dance style and then I started the creativity adventure. I am not alone in this, these creations would not have been possible without the close collaboration of several choreographers. Whether it's student or professional dancers they also deserves much respect to believe in these projects and perform on stage. Here are the latest creations signed Baila Productions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBElwFgnSvydpt_SxeeD0gU3dQWjxH7f4
