VictorySalsa YouTube channel posts various Salsa performances that the owner sees specifically around New York City.
We all know that when it comes to Salsa, one name is very popular – Eddie Torres.
Now, this one of a kind performance happened at La Vieja Guardia’s 5th Anniversary party that was held at the Cathedral NYC, last August 24, 2013.
The music and dance video starts as two young men hug each other. Both handsome and both smiling, they are both wearing the same outfits.
Then both gentlemen started doing their amazing Salsa moves in the tune of “Babarabatiri” by Tito Puente. Now, that’s a classic and many Salsa lovers would know this too!
The two handsome dancers are none other than Adolfo Indacochea & Eddie Torres Jr.
For those people who aren’t familiar, Adolfo Indacochea is a fiery, passionate and energetic dancer who is actually very well-known for his smooth and even unique style.
Adolfo was actually born and raised in Lima, Peru, but he moved to Monterrey, Mexico when he was 19. There, he studied Industrial Engineering and started following his dreams by taking salsa classes “On 1″ as a hobby in 2001.
The other gentleman is none other than the son of Eddie Torres. Eddie Torres Jr. followed his father’s footsteps and is already making a name for himself in the same industry.
As they were dancing, an older gentleman started dancing in the background slowly making his way through the duo. This man is none other than Eddie Torres!
The then 63-year old famous dancer thrilled the audiences as he joins the younger dancers and ultimately steals the show!
Started with slow dance moves until he becomes the center of attraction, everyone was wowed by this dancing legend. They were all graceful and everyone watching loved the smile on their faces.
Truly, these men were born to dance and they are taking it very seriously too. Anyone who would be able to see them perform would know that they love what they are doing and their energy is contagious!
Indeed, this showcases the master’s talent along with his protégés and we love it! So, if you love Salsa and you love dancing, then you’d definitely enjoy this performance.
