Salsa is known to heat things up, whether on the table or on the dance floor. It takes traditions from around the world and mixes all those passions together, sometimes with explosive results.
The same can be said for . She grew up in Israel and moved to Vancouver; she is a dance adventurer with a degree in business administration; she is both creative and pragmatic. The sum of her whole is comprised of thousands of fascinating stories.
And, as she proves in My Seductive Cuba, she is one of the best tour guides this Caribbean island could ever want to have.
She first went to Cuba in 2005 to train and live with the countrys best dancers. (Her role in promoting the National Ballet of Cuba's visit to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»recently is partly responsible for her second nomination as a Woman of Distinction in the annual YWCA awards.) There she discovered what she calls Cuban seduction.
Cuban seduction is truly captivating and beautiful, she writes. You can flirt your way to many things in Cuba even in business because everything is so personal. Using seduction and flirting doesnt mean youll get exactly what you want each time, but it goes a long way. You simply need to learn where and when to use it, and how.
This travel guide not only tells you some of the best places to eat and visit in Cuba, but she transforms it from an all-inclusive tourist destination into a country that pulses with history and culture.
The book answers all the most practical question a visitor could ask but then she asks you to understand why Cuba is the way it is so you can appreciate its nuances as much as she does.
