Todavia Me Amas (Aventura)
Advanced Level
Full mastery — nuance, personal expression, and artistry
An Aventura classic with dramatic dynamic shifts from whispered verses to explosive choruses, ideal for contrast training.
Tips
- •Practice 'energy levels 1-10' in the mirror: assign each section a number and make your body hit that level accurately
- •Use the quiet sections for close connection work and the loud sections for bigger, more visual dancing
- •Build an 'energy reserve' — never go above 85% except for the absolute peak moment
Common mistakes
- •Not going quiet enough during the verses — many dancers maintain medium energy throughout
- •Making the transition too sudden instead of building gradually
- •Exhausting yourself in the first chorus and having nothing left for the climax
- •Not differentiating between the first and second chorus — the second should feel evolved, not repeated
Practice drill
Dance to the full song with a partner. Before starting, agree on energy levels for each section: verse=3, pre-chorus=6, chorus=9, mambo=10, outro=4. Both dancers try to hit the same number at the same time. After the song, discuss where you felt aligned and where you diverged. Repeat until you're synchronized.
