What is your view of dance and its popularity in the world?
The dance world sometimes gets fragmented. This makes it hard to promote it to the rest of the world. A support of each other would give us much more clout and influence.

What are some of your goals right now as a dancer?
At 55, I feel there is still some competing left in me. I am dancing in videos and have coached world champions, but still feel that my calling is to give the youth of the World their Olympic Games in dancing.

What would you like most to be remembered for in your life and/or career?
Bringing dancing to the youth of the World.

Are there any new trends for Salsa dancing in 2004?
Many more rhythmic movements that incorporate a little hip hop and drops and lifts from theatre art modalities are being adde

d to the Salsa style. For new fashion trends, I have noticed that woman's dresses are looking more feminine and sexy this year. I have also taken a liking to velcro shoes. But when it comes to fashion designers, my favourites are Cuban Grandmothers - they all can design and sew!
