In this episode Frankie Martinez shares his philosophy on dance and life—from the hero's journey to the problems he sees in mainstream dance culture. We talk about convenience vs real progression, why so many people plateau, and what it takes to pursue mastery. Frankie also opens up about dance as meditation, listening to the music with your skin, and how his approach to Abakuá and Afro-Latin movement has shaped his teaching and his view of the scene. A deep dive for anyone who wants to go beyond the surface of social dancing.
