one of the reasons we love puerto escondido is that
you can find places to dance salsa and bachata most nights of the week
when we first visited about a year ago there were maybe a small handful of places
for different nights of the week but now you have multiple options for even the same night of the week
in one year we've seen the latin dance scene grow tremendously so this time around that we've been
in puerto escondido for three months we've integrated into the dance community not only as dancers but
also as instructors in today's video i want to share a little bit about our dance journey
our dance involvement here in puerto as well as where you can find places to dance salsa and bachata
in your upcoming visit to puerto
we're going to start at thursdays at Selina hotel in playa Zicatela which is a hostel co-working space and a bar who has a live band called La Noche that plays
on thursdays they're an amazing band and they have some wonderful salsa instructors you'll get to
meet them shortly but before we start salsa class i want to remind you to Like this video subscribe

if you've been following us for a while then you might know
that we have been traveling mexico for over a year now in search of home slow traveling and spending
different lengths of time in different places up to date puerto escondido has been the place that
we've spent the most amount of time we were volunteering at a hostel called Casa Losodeli
working the bar working the community activities and even teaching bachata classes on fridays
as part of our activities
we started by teaching our friday bachata classes at Casa Losodeli
but then next came thursday night salsa classes at Selina hotel
when you're on beat
and you're stepping everything looks great it doesn't matter you can do this all night
and as long as you're on beat you're gonna look good
turn!
Welcome everyone
We invite you all to join the YouTube channel
with Kevin and Jenny
to subscribe to the channel
seriously great dance teachers
and to come enjoy at Selina
come listen to La Noche
so not just because we teach here but this is a really good place to come dance on thursday
so make sure you hit up Selina on thursdays for salsa cumbia and a little bit of bachata
At Selina Hotel the salsa classes were a big hit plus the band was amazing so they definitely made it easy
and from there we would invite people to come join us for bachata on fridays at Losodeli
Casa Losodeli is a great place to start your night off on friday you can come and take a salsa
or a bachata class here with juanito because we're volunteering here at Casa Losodeli
we do the activity and we teach bachata jenny has become quite the bachatera and she has a big group today
so i'm going to show you around what they're doing
uh it's also a great place to go come pregame to get some beers they have cheap beers
and mojitos right before you go to Fauno
Fauno or el Alebrije also have live salsa
on fridays so these are really cool spots for you to check out
we didn't come to Puerto with the intention of being salsa and bachata instructors
but the opportunities just came requests started coming in and we realized why not if people want
to learn from us we'd be more than happy to share what we know we definitely don't consider
ourselves professional dancers and i feel we have a long way to grow ourselves as dancers
but we're like i said we're more than happy to share what we do know with people who want to learn
we really love being a part of the dance community here we didn't necessarily
intend to become instructors but we've really enjoyed integrating with the community
we were also able to start offering private classes which was also really fun to just get to
work with someone one-on-one and it's something that we've enjoyed enough and i think that we'll continue to do
on saturdays we like to come back to Fauno bar because they have a live
band Grupo La Leyenda and there are lots of social dancers they are charging cover now
50 pesos is what they're currently charging and it includes a drink a beer or a lemonade
so aside from a great band a great vibe it's also open air so you can see the stars and you
can hear the ocean because it's ocean side as far as dance venues go this is absolutely my favorite
so tuesdays are more social but saturdays are more party and that's cool with us so let's go dance
i want to take a moment to give a special thanks and shout out to all of our patreon members whom

dance scenes are constantly changing and evolving so the information shared on this video could very well change in the next month or so
but it goes to show how quickly the dance scene is growing here in Puerto and that's something we're celebrating
so it's time to say goodbye to the Puerto latin dance scene
