I don't like the Samba; it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a bit of a traditionalist; the ballroom is all about tails and I never mess about with that. But for the Latin you can have a bit fun: tight trousers, gold shirt open to my waist, be a bit ridiculous.
I flow between modern and traditional jazz, between samba and choro - all maybe in a week's time.
Learn at least two classic ballroom dances, at least one of them Latin.
I grew up in a big ol' Latin family, so that's all the music we used to play - salsa music. We'd always dance and have fun. You know how families get down, man! We just had fun with it.
Any Latin dance, whether it be salsa, cha cha, samba, etc., is very sexy for me to see a woman do. Using your hips is the key.
The modern stuff, I can take it or leave it. I like its danceability, but the DJs talk a lot of nonsense.
Fortunately I'm Latin, and I'm born with a little bit of rhythm by default. It's in the DNA. I have that going for me, but I've never been considered one of the world's greatest dancers.
Latin people love to dance. Nothing is more powerful than a Latin man doing 'Mambo Number 5' by himself.
Dancing is part of me now! The Latin dances are where my passions are.
I love the dancing and the music from Latin cultures. I went to a Flamenco show in Spain once, and it completely took my breath away!
