Today we’d like to introduce you to Tomas Guerrero.
Hi Tomas, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My professional dance career started in New York City back in 1996. I was pulled from the social dance scene in NY as an invitee to join a team being formed at the time by the name of Santo Rico. In 1997 I was entrusted with directing Santo Rico due to unfortunate circumstances with the original owner of Santo Rico at the time. Four dance schools, 50 countries, our own HBO documentary, and 26 years later here I am in Orlando Florida running my own dance school here.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
There were countless struggles from our first dance school partially being burnt down; being entrusted with a business I knew nothing about; losing all of our students; the original owner not being able to continue with the school; the many doubters not believing in my ability to succeed when I took over; and running a business in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city at the time.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
The fact that I’ve never called what I do “work” because I live my best life daily doing what I love. Also putting smiles on people’s faces from learning how to dance on a level they never thought possible.
