In this episode, I have my good friend, Lester Castrillo, right here with me. We’re talking about something very close to us: your superpower. We also talk about the Miami Salsa Cruise coming up in 2026.

In this episode I sat down with my good friend Miguel. Miguel has been dancing for 20 years and also comes from a psychology background. We talked about what really happens inside social dancing, not just the steps, but the feelings and the meaning behind it.

Today’s episode is called “What Happens When You Don’t Know.”

In this episode, I sat down with Dariana Fustes Flores to talk about how the salsa world has changed from when I started dancing to now. We compared our experiences, talked about what salsa was like when I was 20, and shared some fun stories from both of our journeys.

This episode is all about something we all go through: being nervous the first time we do something new. Especially dancing salsa. I (Pablo, aka Rico Rico) joined Andres to talk about why stepping onto the dance floor, even when you’re scared, is one of the best things you can do.

Today, I’m talking with my good friend Adam Montero. We called this episode Sabroso, which means tasty or flavorful. We want to share what Sabroso means in dancing, how you can bring flavor and feeling into your moves, and how using colors helps you understand music better.

Today I want to talk about “The Fundies.” That’s just a fun way of saying the fundamentals. I got the idea watching the Stanley Cup Finals with my buddy Mikey. We were talking about how the Panthers earned their dynasty by sticking to the basics. That made me think about how important the fundies are in dance and in life.

In this episode we shared stories about dancing and learning, and how to really enjoy what we do instead of just trying to be the best.

In this episode Pablo & me talked about dancing, challenges, and how to grow as a dancer by focusing on small things first.

In this episode Pablo & me talked about dancing, challenges, and how to grow as a dancer by focusing on small things first.

This episode is about something I’ve been thinking about a lot—how hard it is to truly communicate. Even when we speak the same language, a lot can still get lost. That happens on the dance floor too.

In this episode, Andres and I talked about something super important—why we really dance and how it should never be just to impress someone.

I want to talk about something really special. It’s about the memories we make in life, especially the ones we make on the dance floor. These memories are powerful. They leave a mark on our hearts. And guess what? We don’t have to wait for them to just happen. We can make them on purpose.

In this episode, I sat down with a good friend and special guest, Adam “Montimaners” Montero. We talk about how our own thoughts—expecting things from people before giving them a chance—can mess up the way we connect, especially on the dance floor.

Today’s talk is all about one thing: Silencio Bruno. If you’ve seen the Disney movie Luca, you know the phrase. This episode is about how powerful your thoughts are and how you can train your mind to support your goals—on the dance floor, in your job, and in life.

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend Galo Paredes Jr., also known as Mr. Pelo. We’ve known each other for years, but today I got to hear his full salsa story from beginning to now.

This one is super special to me because it’s all about something we’ve worked on for years—The Journey Bracelet. We’ve created a real way to track your growth in dance.

In this episode, we talk about a question that often comes up when dancing socially: “What should I be looking at?” It’s a simple question, but it opens up a deeper conversation about connection, confidence, and personal choice in dance.

Today, we’re diving into a recent experience I had on the Miami Salsa Cruise that really got me thinking about learning and how we grow in different environments. This connects back to how we approach salsa classes, learning, and creativity. Let’s get right into it!

Today we’re diving deep into one of the most debated topics in salsa dancing—Which salsa style is the best? We know this is a subjective topic, and not everyone will agree with us, but that’s part of the fun! We’ll break down the different salsa styles, their origins, strengths, and weaknesses, and rank them based on social dancing and performance value.

In this episode, I explain the concept of the “Necessary Waste of Time.” This idea is an extension of the last episode, “Slow is Fast.” If you haven’t listened to that one, I highly recommend checking it out.

This episode, we’re talking about the idea “slow is fast.” We explain what it means in dancing and life, share stories from a recent dance party, and give tips on how to truly enjoy salsa. So, let’s get started!

Today, we’re diving into motivation. We’ll expand on what Pablo shared in episode 175 about “wagon pullers vs. wagon riders” and explore how motives impact relationships—both on and off the dance floor. Let’s get into it.

Today, we’re talking about “Wagon Pullers vs. Wagon Riders” and how this idea connects to dancing, relationships, and teamwork. It’s about figuring out if you’re someone who helps move the wagon or just rides along.
