Anichi Perez: Love for Music, Dance Discovery, Learning and Teaching

Author: Salsa Language Podcast December 2, 2024 Duration: 32:57

This is my conversation with Anichi Perez in Ft. Myers, Florida where we met for Nery Garcia's 20th anniversary weekend.

Anichi is a musician, dancer, instructor and an educator. He has developed unique training programs designed to help dancers understand musicality. His comprehensive yet easy-to-follow approach to teaching sets him apart.

Anichi is a rare artist who creates music and performs his creations on the fly. It is fascinating to witness his creativity and expression in person. He shares interesting details about his personal journey, valuable tips for dancers, and the costly mistakes to avoid.


The rhythm of salsa is more than steps and turns; it's a global conversation. The Salsa Language Podcast explores this idea by sitting down with dancers, teachers, and artists from different corners of the world. Each episode is a candid talk that moves beyond technique into the personal stories, cultural insights, and life lessons found within the dance community. You'll hear about the challenges of building a scene in unexpected places, the philosophy behind musicality, and how the practice of partner dancing intersects with broader themes of connection and self-improvement. This podcast uses the shared vocabulary of salsa as a starting point for wider, more interesting conversations. It’s not about counting beats, but about understanding the people who live them. Through these interviews, the universal language of movement becomes a way to discuss art, education, and personal growth, all woven into the fabric of the music we love. Tune in for authentic voices and perspectives that you won't find in a studio class, all captured in the natural flow of conversation.
