ERIC "EL CUBANITO" FREEMAN
Eric “El Cubanito” Freeman is an internationally recognized salsa instructor and videographer. Based in Colorado, he has taught salsa in the U.S., all over Europe, Latin America, and at the Puerto Rican Salsa Congress. Eric's 15 instructional and demonstrational salsa videos have sold over 20,000 copies in 75 countries worldwide.
Eric first caught the salsa “bug” in 1993. He then developed his dance foundation at the two most prolific sources: New York City and Cuba. Owing to this dual influence, Eric's dance style defies salsa convention. His unique flair might best be described as a seamless integration between N.Y. mambo and Cuban casino, enhanced with elements of Los Angeles, Cumbia, and Puerto Rican styles.
These days Eric devotes most of his energy to teaching local dance classes here in Boulder and running music & dance educational trips to Cuba. He runs Salsaville Dance Studios which offers multiple weekly-based dance classes. The website is www.salsaville.com.
