Bersy Cortez afro mambo - World Stars Salsa Festival 04.2022

[@henryxavier3751]

can you plz explaine the meaning behind these dance moves. no doubt it’s picking straw and rituals to the master?

[@DanielTesla74]

As the title says it's a combination of moves from mambo and from orisha dances which are rituals for worshiping the gods. But she does them in her own style and there are short pieces from each style so it's hard to tell. Search for orisha dances such as Chango, Ogun, Elegua, Yemaya, Oya, etc if you're interested.

@@DanielTesla74 👍yes that’s so kool. and thank you for the history and cultures of dances in rythem. maybe you can caption some of it during these moves. but yes i like her mix, most people don’t even know what it’s about. or what they are even doing.👍

@@henryxavier3751 it feels excellent when you dance a move and channel the god or goddess, the force of nature, so your dance carries meaning. Like being the goddess of love, or of the sea, or the god of thunder and lightning. And it's not hard to start. Also your appreciation of the best dancers goes up, up, up.
