Maykel Fonts & Sonia - salsa social dancing @ Martinique Int 'Salsa Festival 2018

[@steveyv963]

Genius level. I am so happy to have the opportunity to see these amazing dancers on youtube showing what is possible.

[@felibarro299]

El mejor video de Maykel..realmente Sublime !!

[@williamgills4581]

I don't care what anybody says, this young lady is having the time of her life, She will never ever forget this dance, believe me.

[@flacilicious]

Absolutely right 👏🏽

[@melissacorrea5852]

She is a fantastic dancer because it is not easy to keep up with a lead who is practically dancing with himself! He is one of my favorite dancers to watch but golly! Just ask yourself to dance Maykel 😂

[@p0werl0ve]

LOL. he is not dancing with himself, he uses all that you are speaking about as an "accent" to create a dynamic "dance relationship" in that very moment. it's an out of the box approach to dancing when you are in the moment.

[@Jddjdurjf]

Yes, seems a bit self involved.

[@williamgills4581]

Believe me, this lady is having the time of her life.

[@Melo-uv7bh]

People dont understand that this is a form of birth control hahahaha. If this man gave just a glance he'd get everyone he dance with in pregnant hahahaha.

Great musicality in the guy and hats off to the lady for following his subtle lead

[@audrabillet]

This video feeds my soul. Crying! Thank you! ❤️

[@PleakTCG]

When you're getting ready to fight the Boss on the final stage type of feeling. The lead and follower killed this song on the dance floor.

[@rafaelfilippini]

Fonts is the greatest for me! Sonia is amazing!

[@43Magicman]

He a idiot!

[@hayyan.s91]

They are fantastic! He is very technical with so many feelings and she is a great dancer because she can follow him in every move! But I think more connecting between thier would be nicr specieally with smile :)

[@lukjr07]

How exactly is his technique good? Split weight about 40% of his patterns. Bad posture by dropping his head and looking at the floor or an empty space must of the time. No spotting on his multiple spins and almost never rolling through the foot but dancing flat. ✌

[@szabolcsistvansomorai337]

I May be wrong but this dance it was just great. I mean some people say that he should be more connected to the girl or [ pay more attention on the girl but I think he did that as well] but as long the man is leading the girl [woman] she's the one who need to get connected to the leader and follow the leader and she did a great job and he did as well so both of them was just great . But come on He is a Cuban macho you like it or not this is the way it is ,he is MAYKEL FONTS he its just great the way it is.

[@kaktusz1234567]

Egyetértek! :D

[@smashalandmine4016]

She is very smooth and gorgeous, instead he is freaking forget about her and dance by himself, watching here and there, the floor and whatever is, but not her.

[@julitomeza]

@@XLUGO2007 pienso que es libre la forma de como se expresa el baile ya que no existe entidad que diga esto es linea o esto es cubano ... debemos de preocuparnos mas en interpretar la musica que en pensar si bailas un estilo u otro

[@sergiorubenricard5182]

desgraciadamente los cubanos copiamos lo más barato y comercial.Se perdió la esencia del son y el casino y por adaptarse al mundo que vende todo se fue con el también el ritmo.todos los buenos bailarines de Cuba bailando cada cosa que deja mucho que desear y eso falso es lo que venden hoy en día.me apena eso

[@robertmaldonado1751]

Sonia beautiful happy holidays

[@kaktusz1234567]

Lots of people complain about him not "connecting" or looking at his partner. Well, here's a couple of time when he actually looks at Sonia: 00:10 00:25 00:54 01:03 01:56 02:24 03:08 (even smiles) 03:53 (the end) It's just my opinion, but sometimes you don't need to look at your partner through the dance. I mean all the time. If you're really focused on dancing and you can feel each other through the leading/following it can be a really great experience too. Of course, it's important to look in the eyes, be kind etc, but I think the way Fonts does it works as well. I mean, look at them dancing, it looks amazing. Without the "connection" between them it wouldn't work. He's showing off "just a bit" of course, but that's another thing.

[@bailopinto]

And 1:03 to 1:56, one minute not looking at your partner, this should be a record ginnes of egodance.

el tipo, un bailarin extraordinario de musica cubana, en este caso, bailando salsa en linea. la tia, una bailarina de salsa LA o New york, Ese tipo de bailarinas se contentan con que las hagan girar como trompo durante toda la cancion. Tendria q haber bailado con una verdadera cubana rumbera para q el show sea mas equilibrado.

[@sergiorubenricard5182]

en el casino o el Son la mujer es sumisa(en el buen sentido de la palabra)de la dirección del hombre.Bailo con mi mujer que no es cubana y fue una de las primeras cosas que le enseñé.Ella venía de bailar New York y aunque me costó un poco de trabajo quitarle los tiempos de la salsa NY hoy baila muy bien con mucho ritmo y rivaliza con las cubanas.Usted impone su tiempo y para eso existen los tranques y trucos a contra tiempos. el, que lo considero un gran bailarín deja mucho que desear de lo que está vendiendo como nuestro baile,sin una esencia,como todos los cubanos dando clases por el mundo adaptados a lo comercial

[@williamgills4581]

The more advanced dancers usually "hide" the basic. It's always there, but an advanced dancer goes beyond it. The three stages in dancing, music, and art: learn the rules (the basic, the scales, the colors); master the rules; then "break" the rules, developing your own unique style or look. It almost becomes a fusion: Frankie Martínez came from martial arts, and you can tell that (even though he started with Eddie Torres), Magna Gopal came from hiphop, and you can also see that in her style; Maykel comes from the rumba cubana,... Need I say more?

The style of guy reminds me a bit of Yoandy Villaurrutia. Both of them are great solo dancers with unusual figures. but their communication with partners and their 'look at my figures' attitude is not what everyone may like. Also Yoandy has slightly better reading and understanding of rythm. After saying these, I would like to learn 5 per cent of their figures.
