El Paso de Hoy translates to “The Daily Step” in Spanish. The story begins in April 2022 in Oaxaca, Mexico. The inspiration for the cards came to me through message cards that I developed for my students. One day, the idea popped into my head: “How cool would it be if I opened a card and it showed a salsa dance step, and then I started dancing?”

That same week, I printed 31 simple cards with salsa steps and began handing them out to people I met. Each day, one salsa step. I discovered that this was a truly original way to connect people, bringing dance into everyday life in an experiential way.

Four months later, I decided to take the project a few steps further and develop the product to the highest level. I brought something new to the world that didn’t exist before.

The “El paso de hoy” salsa cards allow you to integrate a daily movement routine, dance, into your life. Take a break of 7-15 minutes each day, choose one or more steps, pick a song, and dance joyfully no matter where you are.

You don’t need a dance studio to dance. You can dance at home, on the street, by the sea, in a restaurant, in a store, in a club, in nature.
