Interview with Frankie Martinez, August 2017, Part 3

It is my great pleasure to publish an interview series with Frankie Martinez, filmed last year in New York. Mr. Martinez is widely regarded as one of the most innovative Latin dancers of our generation, but I’m certain that the video is no less inspiring to those who don’t practice dance.

The first picture @ The Signer statue, Philadelphia, US, September 7, 2017

The first picture As I am having a ‘break’ these days from traveling, I thought it’s a good time to review the initial part of it. My journey started 1 year and 3 months ago, and it lasted in the US and Canada during the first 3.5 months. When I think about the time when …
