A longtime presence in the Seattle technology sphere, Edward Anderton has led Scarlata Chocolate since co-founding the boutique confectionery in 2012. Also a Latin dance enthusiast, Edward Anderton has competed in dance competitions and took third place in the Amateur Couples division in the Rose City Salsa Festival. He has also taught salsa and bachata dance.
Bachata began as rhythmic guitar music in the Dominican Republic. As a musical style, bachata was originally known as “bolero campesino,” with the term “bachata” used to describe informal parties in which guitar was the primary instrument. The languid lyrics of bachata have traditionally involved themes of love, deception, and remorse, as well as the concept of drinking away one’s cares. Over the years, bachata evolved into a style that maintains a distinctive bolero root combined with diverse rhythms from musical styles such as merengue. Looked down on by the Dominican elite for many years, bachata dance ultimately gained popularity due to its infectious three-step pattern which, when combined with a hip motion, creates a unique sensuousness in the movement between partners. In early 2012, Edward Anderton co-founded Scarlata Chocolate, where he now serves as the managing director. Edward Anderton is also an accomplished salsa dancer, having taught classes at Google in 2013 and 2014.
Salsa dancing is a fun and exciting way to exercise and express yourself through dance. If you are just getting started, the following are three common beginner mistakes you should avoid: 1. Moving too Fast - When you are just learning moves, it pays to take it slow, which allows you to focus on every step, turn, and detail. Some beginners start off trying to practice at full speed, but your speed will naturally improve as you get the moves down and the moves will become second nature. 2. Too Many Turns - When you see the pros dance, you will notice they turn frequently and with ease. However, as a beginner, too many turns can confuse both you and your partner, leading to exhaustion. While turns are important and should be incorporated, do not forget about all the other components that make up a good salsa routine. 3. Followers Trying to Lead - With salsa dancing, there is always a leader and always a follower. As the follower, you may get the moves down first and try to help your partner lead, but there cannot be two leaders. Offering feedback to your partner is encouraged, yet your primary focus should stay on learning your role in the dance and perfecting your technique.
