I can’t even remember where I first saw this clip, but it’s from a Cuban television show called “Para Bailar Casino.” This particular style of Salsa dancing has usually been unique to Cuba and Miami, but is starting to spread slowly to wherever Salsa dancing happens around the world. So, it’s still fairly rare to see a Chinese guy (or any non-Cuban) who is this skilled at casino style Salsa. He has plenty of moves but, more importantly, he captures the fun spirit of the dance. The crowd obviously responds well, as you see them stand up and cheer!
In the video clip, there is a caption saying the name of the Chinese man is “You Fei Huo,” but apparently his real name is Yaofei Huo. For us English speakers, he goes by “David” Huo.
He teaches in Beijing, China at a place called Casa De David, and his website is:

(For more information on him, click the link on that webpage that says “Team”)
The song to which they are dancing is called “Esto Te Pone La Cabeza Mala” by Los Van Van.

Different people dance for different reasons. The serious ones dance for the sake of the art or to perform on various stages. Some others dance just for themselves; they dance simply to keep themselves happy. A lot of people take up Salsa dancing even though it is considered quite difficult and complicated. They turn to Salsa to meet people and, at times, to overcome their fear of meeting people.
Salsa dancing has multiple benefits. The intensity can be different, but the benefits are more or less the same for everybody.
·Social Life: If you go to a Salsa dancing class, you will meet a lot of people and increase your social circle. Another advantage is that if you know how to dance, there will be no shortage of partners on the dance floor or the bar. You will soon become something of a celebrity that everybody likes to hang out with.
·Love Life: Going for Salsa dancing together will strengthen the bond between you and your partner. Salsa dancing can be used to start a new relationship. It can also re-kindle the flame of old love. The dance form is so passionate that no human heart can escape from its charm.
·Self-confidence: If you have confidence on the dance floor, you will have same confidence in all aspects of life. Salsa dancing helps you conquer doubts and fears. It gives you more confidence about your own body language.
·Healthy Body: Salsa dancing is perhaps the most fun way of losing weight and getting into shape. You don’t need to starve yourself or go to boring gyms. Just put on your dancing shoes and lose all that extra flab.
·Flexibility: Salsa dancing gives you flexibility, coordination and better body posture. All these things effect your overall personality and it shows when you meet people. It helps you stand out in a crowd.
·Self Expression: Salsa dancing gives you the ability to express yourself verbally as well as with movements.

If you can “talk” to your partner using these beats and music only, then expressing yourself using words will be a piece of cake.
·Sense of fulfillment: There is nothing more pure and honest than dancing for yourself. When you are honest with yourself, you feel a connection with your inner self. Salsa dancing in its pure form can help you find that peace and quiet that everybody is looking for. As a result, you become a much happier and calmer person.
