Do you know someone who has a knack for spreading joy?

I've got a couple happiness beacons in my life and what a difference these folks make!

Without fail, my Salsa teacher Víctor Maysonet provides me light-saber level elation!

As the founder and creative genius of "All Out Danza," Víctor brings unity, charisma, and hope to humanity through the jubilance of dance and Hispanic culture.

Born and raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, I'm pretty sure he learned to walk to the beat of a clave.

Watch him in action and you’ll see that he doesn't just teach rhythm; he is rhythm personified.

Never without his trademark smile, Víctor is also a heart-centered entrepreneur who welcomes all newbies into "la familia" with unconditional love and respect.

His company slogan says it all: "Dance That Unites."

I've known Víctor long enough to know that, in his presence, I can be my full, authentic self. This includes sharing with him when things feel heavy and celebrating "All Out" when life is easy breezy.

We need more Víctors in the world.

And, we need more of what I call "The Víctor Effect."

"The Víctor Effect" is this unseen force that draws from my soul joy I often don't recognize I possess. Whether it's cracking raunchy jokes during a lesson or sharing a playful dance, Víctor’s effusive demeanor is contagious.

That’s me, fully alive and sharing a spin with Víctor at one of his recent outdoor dance socials.

I've been Salsa dancing since January 2014. It's the one thing that consistently brings the sexiest curves to my lips and effervescence to my heart.

And hot damn! This kind of joy feels so good in my body!

If you're craving some unbridled feel-good, come get your quick-quick-slow on at one of Víctor’s upcoming dance events.

I can pretty much guarantee you'll embody The Víctor Effect!

I'd LOVE to hear from you!

• What or who brings you joy?
• How does joy feel in YOUR body?

No 2 left feet over here,
