This month, it's time to talk to Elder Sanchez, founder of Salsateca London!I have been working with Salsateca for many years, and am proud to be part of the fantastic school they have built, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk to Elder all about the founding of his school, his background in salsa, and what he thinks about how we learn, about musicality and about some of the key subjects in the dance scene today.Want to know more about Salsateca's classes and events?

Welcome to a bonus episode of The Rasa Show podcast, and this month we are talking about something a little different, but something that I have been thinking and reflecting a lot about, and that is how women act the way they do around men. In this podcast, I am looking back at how dynamics between men and women have changed over the years, where we are now, what I think is perhaps wrong with the current dynamics, and what we can do to maybe relax the situation a little. I also have a bit of a rant about some statements I particularly dislike in relation to the subject. 

It's time for another episode of Ask The Doctor with one of my favourite guests, Shereen Rahman. Shereen is a GP & Dermatologist, and is Medical Director of ESS Clinic in London, which offers private skin surgery and aesthetic treatments.Following on from our last episode of Ask The Doctor, which tackled our skin health, and how our diet can impact our skin, today we are talking all things beauty and skincare related!
