Juan Matos & Magna Gopal at the 2009 Flava Invasion

Sat April 25, 2009 - Juan Matos (Milan, Italy) & Magna Gopal having some fun at the 2009 Flava Invasion in Atlanta, GA, USA. I think I've asked Juan for a dance a dozen times and finally at Flava it happened. lol It was definitely a playful dance and I had a lot of fun. Extra commentary in the background courtesy of Andrea and Manuel from Vancouver. lol

This is a slightly brighter version of the video. Thanks bolivicano for your help. :)

Why shouldn't we social dance full force, like we were performing?don't we dance to cast away our daily barriers,to florish and explore some part of us that wants to express itself without barriers,be it flamboyant, or dramatic,or whatever .that's the point!otherwise,let's dance polka at weddings and call it a day. just wanna share my passion and help people see the beauty of mambo especially.Also, the above is correct and excellent dancing-all else is up to the individual.

are u kidding me? she's stylish,YES! but not overkilling it. She's not too consumed by her own styling as other ladies often do, and most importantly she's always ready to connect with the leader.

That's why she's such a great follower

O.K. Ouch, you made a very eloquent point. I will view it with a more open mind and see it from a more artistic point of view.
