MIND + BODY 40 FEBRUARY 2 0 1 7 dance. There are many salsa places in NYC but not really as many in Queens. They are frustrated because they want something of quality in Queens and in Astoria. They want the salsa home for them that belongs to Queens, that belongs to Astoria. That drives me; I want to keep them fulfilled and happy.” A self-professed “Renaissance man,” Vergaray feels that the studio formation was a very well orchestrated extension of his life. Every job he held in the past prepared him for this business; whether it was working as a cook, busboy, intern, video engineer, teacher or editor, all of it came together for this journey in the best possible way. “I am happy for every past decision because it has led me to this moment,” he said. “It has given me a well-rounded ability to think about the small details and know how to handle every angle.” And the small studio has “big picture” goals as well. Salsa In Queens aims through dance to help students feel confident, connected and empowered in their bodies and movements. Vergaray hopes that this empowerment and connection will forge an even stronger community. “Given the nature of where we live and what we are living through, any form of artistic social interaction is needed and can help bring us together,” he said. Salsa In Queens is constantly starting new salsa and bachata beginner classes. For the month of February they are offering a special 20 percent discount on any six-week beginner dance program.
