Michael Casciato's dynamic lifestyle in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, showcases his enthusiasm for salsa dancing, pickleball, language learning, and exploring new cultures through travel. Each interest adds a unique layer to his vibrant life, offering both personal fulfillment and opportunities to connect with others.
Salsa dancing is more than a hobby for Casciato; it's a passion that pulses to the vibrant beats of its Cuban origins. As a dance, salsa involves a complex interplay between a leader and a follower, each move building upon the fundamental rhythm of three steps in four beats. Casciato excels in this dance, not only mastering its intricate steps and spins but also teaching them to others. His classes are a blend of instruction and inspiration, helping students to find their rhythm and express their styles through shines—solo steps that highlight a dancer's flair.
Michael’s athletic pursuits find a perfect match in pickleball, a sport that originated in the mid-1960s and combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. This fast-growing sport offers not just physical exercise but also mental stimulation and social interaction. The compact size of the pickleball court facilitates intense play and close communication, making each game a social event where he enjoys both competition and camaraderie.
Travel is another cornerstone of Casciato’s life, enhancing his understanding of the world. His journeys are driven by a deep curiosity about different cultures and languages, particularly Latin and Greek, whose histories he delves into to enrich his travel experiences. Whether exploring the urban landscapes of the United States or rural settings abroad, his travels are opportunities for learning and connection.
In addition to his pursuits, Michael Casciato is deeply committed to community service. He volunteers at the Feeding South Florida food bank. He supports various advocacy organizations like GLAAD and the ACLU, driven by a belief in making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
