So, another funny combo name. DPS stands for ‘Department of Public Safety’. I got arrested one time at Iowa State University for carrying a door down the street (oops!), and the way they lock your arms is the same way you do it to the follow. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it).

And now back to your regularly scheduled salsa dance programming! After such a long time we are back with a new season of the addicted2salsa.com video dancing podcast!

First, we’d like to go on record that we are the first salsa podcast to be shot in High-Definition (hope it shows up on Wikipedia), so you can clearly see our footwork either on your iPhone/iPod or big screen TV. Second, this is our first podcast that we dance On2 as well as On1. Last, but not least – I’d like to introduce you to our new co-host Julie Merrill.

Today we will go over a few options on how to get out of a salsa titanic move. Enjoy!

In this episode we review the open-break dance pattern. It is a very important dance move if you need to gather some initial momentum for future combos. We also show you how to switch places using an open-break, and then, a small little combo starter for the future combos that you might do from an open-break.
