Edie, The Salsa FREAK's

WORLD FAMOUS

Salsa Bootcamps!

"The Salsa FREAK Bootcamp will be your turning point.
I will guarantee that you will be a better and more confident dancer,
the next day, and the rest of your life.”

Before our Bootcamp I wondered if that statement would apply to me, or if that was just marketing hype. I have been absolutely blown away and totally humbled by the changes since our Bootcamp six weeks ago. I can’t see a faster way to get the tools needed to advance dramatically in a short period of time. Women I’ve danced with over the last few months are asking me what happened; men are stopping me, asking how I learned. One couple stopped me the other night during a break and said, “My girlfriend and I want to dance like you and your wife. What are you doing?” It is a totally different world and you are the one who opened the door."

TESTIMONIALS

Masculine Feedback from Advanced Salseros who took the Weekend Salsa FREAK Bootcamp...

From Jacques...

Hey Edie, Just wanted to touch base and say hi real quick - I really enjoyed helping out at the beginners' bootcamp on Saturday! ...

I also had some quick feedback. In addition the entire bootcamp program being great, I actually wanted to let you know that the high point for me is when you were talking about the masculine and feminine essence, and how they polarize. After your "lecture" on the subject, and you had the women say "I trust you, I respect you, and I honor you", I really saw them open up. After that, during the next two dances, I saw the biggest impact my masculine essence had EVER had on a woman during a dance, ESPECIALLY with newbies! It felt like once they understood to get out of my masculine way and roll with wherever I take them, they allowed themselves to fully enjoy what was taking place...and that was SUPER rewarding for me as a man!

A few points to illustrate -

• I was leading moves that we hadn't even touched during class - turns with both hands (right over left), open break, rock steps, and much more complex variations of what we had already done - and they successfully went with it!
  
  
• This was the real kicker for me - I dipped both of my partners while spinning them out of an open break, and they both ate it up like crazy. After bringing the first one back up from the dip, she said "Wow, that was HOT...<pause>...ohmigosh...<looks down>...I think I'm actually blushing..." After bringing the second one back up from the dip, she had a smile she couldn't wipe off of her face, and she said "That was. SO. COOL.", and I could see the asking in her eyes that she wanted me to do it again.

No exaggeration in what I'm telling you!! My personal feeling is that you should do this section EVERY time in your bootcamp, don't wait for guys to ask for it! I've been dancing for around 5 years, and I've never had this happen before. The ladies' breakthrough in this section had nothing but reward for me as well, and I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only guy who enjoyed it.

Anyway, I had a great time! Thanks for hooking me up with a discount to join in, and I'm gonna try to make your men's styling workshop next month.

...there's one more thing I'd like to mention that I feel would be helpful if you were to append it to the original comments in my first email. In addition to the initial ego stroke that I got from making that happen, the real takeaway for me was that seeing the reaction of both ladies during that exercise gave me a deeper insight as to how much mileage my masculine essence can get when it comes to creating a shared experience like that on the dance floor.

Not every dance is going to have a spike in mutual enjoyment like that, but when it does...dear lord! My confidence definitely got its own spike that hasn't come down very much since I attended your boot camp. ;-)

Thanks again! Jacques

From Mark...

Hi Edie, After attending both days of your bootcamp this previous weekend, I went out and . . .

Well, first, I loved the bootcamp. The two days one of the best dancing experiences I have ever had, but also one of the best learning experiences. You have a fantastic teaching style, and I stunned at what you taught – many things were simple, but almost all of the instructors I've had have never brought them up (such as going into closed position by flicking the woman's hand and then touching forearms before going to her back; how to ask a girl to dance, etc.).

I learned a ton on the first day, and saw an immediate improvement that night in my dances that night at La Rumba. And then I learned even more at the women's styling day (which surprised me; I expected to get something out of it, but I wasn't sure what and how much).

So I went to D Note afterward, and WOW. I've improved a lot over the past few months, but with what I learned from you, it really brought me up. I went into the D Note with more energy and confidence than I've had in a long time. About two or so hours in, I asked this woman to dance . . . I hadn't seen her dancing earlier, but she turned out to AMAZING—one of the best women I've ever danced with at a club. I was blown away, and thanks to what you taught, I was able to keep my composure, and more so, was able to give her those opportunities for her to really cut loose and reach her potential on the dance floor.

It wasn't until afterward that it hit me, but I had never seen or FELT a more clear example of it: the more I help my partner to plunge into depths of her ability, the effect will rebound and I'll in turn go deeper into my own. During the bootcamp, you described going into trance during a dance. After we finished out the song, It felt like I had a grenade detonate in my head — I was not only blown away by her dancing, but also by my own. I was so satisfied that I almost left right then and there because I didn't know what else to do. When I did leave an hour later, I was still overcome by the sensation. My face was slack the whole drive home, and I was so happy by the experience that night I was tearing up — the only time I have ever felt like that before is when I finish the first draft of a novel. Unbelievable.

Thank you so much for sharing your talents. I'm stoked for your workshop next month.

And I would love to take some private lessons, with you.
Again, thank you.

Best wishes, Mark
