    Actually you are …
    Actually you are doing 3 different turns/spins here in that cross body lead, aren’t you: 1 turn leading with your left and 2 spins leading with our right (high and low). It is a bit like following a hockey game: Lots of movement, but I hardly ever know where the puck is.

  12. timbero1 says:

    Two step …
    Two step modification? Off the clave? Where do you think the clave in salsa music comes from? From Cuba !! Fania is old music. Just look up Ruben Blades’ lastest video in youtube. He says salsa comes from Cuba. Celia Cruz & Tito Puente said the same thing. If there were no Cuban music, those Puerto Rican groups would be stuck playing their plenas and bombas. They wouldn’t have called the movie Dirty Dancing: SAN JUAN nights, because nobody would see the movie.

  13. FlauschkatzNr1 says:

    AP, hi, I really …
    AP, hi, I really appreciate this! Can’t tell you enough! The cues to detail make all the difference. Here holding the palm upwards makes the lead signal clear and the turn comfortable. Foreshortening the movement on one gives the cross body lead an real easy flow instead of it becoming a wide and stricken maneuver.

  14. FlauschkatzNr1 says:

    Believe me, I am 2 …
    Believe me, I am 2 meters and 120 kilo, but the ladies expect me to lead the dance even though I am having major probs just hefting my own self around. The whole move becomes natural and intimate and simply a very nice thing to do with a sunny girl: Take her for a walk and add a bit of spin to let her shine.

  15. FlauschkatzNr1 says:

    I have actually …
    I have actually taken a one year course with a male instructor who would never give any hint as to how a guy might introduce a movement, always just tons of choreography no-one could use and all in a “slotted” stiff style. Along comes AP with his little 3 min videos and right away I see that handswing, first low and out on 1, 2, then up 3, – , for the lady’s right turn. Leaves me with less bafflement and panic, and with much more time to consider the music and the ladies.

    heheheheh, people …
    heheheheh, people from Peru actually dance salsa, don’t make me laugh , all you do when you dance is imitate a condor pecking its wings

  17. Chochivoros3 says:

    Salsa is not from …
    Salsa is not from Cuba, their style makes me laugh becasue it is a two setp modification of country music and completely off the clave. Look for La Fania, La Selecta, and other PuertoRICAN orquestas and then come back and tell me how to dance. The Cuban style is anything but style

    Now this is the attitude of real salsa dancers. :)

    You are talking …
    You are talking about casino RUEDA. Casino can be danced with a partner or in a rueda. Funny thing you say robots, because that’s exactly what I thought when I saw those kids. Natural? More like trained animals. Robots dance just like machines wihout feeling the music or moving their hips, just doing tricks. Cuba invented mambo, rumba, cha cha cha. & salsa. Y Cali? Salsa from Cali comes from New York. Sabor comes from the African elements in Cuban salsa. Just look up Diana and Yanek in youtube.

    If you want to …
    If you want to learn to dance Salsa in the clubs then I think these two do a good job. There is a world of difference between dancing in a show and dancing for enjoyment at your local club. And who has the right to say what “real” Salsa is? It doesn’t belong to any one group of people, it is a world-wide dance and belongs to the person who is dancing it.

  23. Skeeter66 says:

    I think casino is …
    I think casino is pretty boring, even to look at. If you like dancing and salsa then just watching salseros is entertaining. Casino is for robots on merry go rounds, because if I wanted to watch robots dance, then I’d watch professional dancers. Salsa is all about sabor.
