Fred and Ginger Salsa - 2007

[missdarcy321]

HECK IF SOMEONE SPINNED ME AROUND LIKE THAT I WOULD BARF ALL OVER THE UNFORTUNATE FELLOW!!!

[oneill9875]

Great presentation! Keep this great tradition alive and well into the future!

[crocdelsud]

Felicitaciones, muy bien bailado !!!

[ate2fiver]

That's really nice. But there's still something that Fred and Ginger that put into it that's missing. But you get 2nd place.

[red25ify]

AWSOME! Fred and Ginger would be proud!

[Kendy228]

wow... you guys are awesome!!! sick choreography too!!! so Fred and Ginger-esque!! :)))

[everhard1000]

GREAT !!! TNX !!!

[hpolh]

there's just no way that someone could top Ginger an Fred, but this is the best next thing, I really enjoyed it , Congrats!

[rizwandar1]

I actually did not look the announcers comments about the suit.. a bit condescending..

[rizwandar1]

BUT THEY ARE NOT TAPPING.

[rockerbaby87]

Tbh I wasn't actually expecting to watch the whole thing, but that was actually really good! The girl was lovely.. and 32 spins in a row - impressive!

[SuicidalBunny0]

Wow, you both did a fantastic job. The girl (sorry, I know this is your video, but don't know your names >_< ) just lights up on stage, and her partner acknowledges her every move. Absolutely MARVELOUS!!!~~

[blackandtanful]

素晴らしい､ﾌﾚｯﾄﾞ･ｼﾞﾝｼﾞｬｰｽﾀｲﾙ!～ﾜｰﾙﾄﾞ­･サルサ2007

[porthosw]

QUE RICO MAMBO!! FOREVER!! ::: GREAT PEREZ PRADO:::

[RememberRox]

Haha OMG this was incredible! i love the energy! i think you did Astaire and Rogers justice with this routine.

[katherine3486]

You guys are as enjoying to watch as Fred & Ginger!

FANTASTIC!

[maddy31400]

This is so good! I can imagine it on a beach or something in Cancun, Mexico, lol, i dont know why. :) How long did it take you to learn this routine?

[MrDjeeep]

Man that's cool))))

[alanhussey]

Absolutly Brillient.

[z4hp]

This video is so beautiful, this couple is so beautiful. Thank you for posting, and please don't ever remove it. This kind of routine makes me appreciate the art of dance so much more.

[realbeereels]

I love this routine, i didn't realize i had seen it for the first time 3 years ago..seems kinda crazy! I come back and watch it on occasion and always love it just the same as the first time i saw it! I showed it to my mom and she liked it very much also! I hope you two are still dancing (whether together or seperate) and creating awesome routines!

[Merlintycoon]

Hi, excuse me for the correction, but this kind of music IS NOT SALSA, it is MAMBO. In attention and respect to its creator, Damaso Perez Prado, please make the proper correction.Thanks in advance.

[attaoui52]

fantastique

[LesCascadeuses]

Nicely done. But mama, you got to point your feet for any of those stops or poses (such as the ending). A sickle foot ruins a great line!

[archie977]

dig that dress

[archie977]

he is exelent and she is wow

[andreshondac1000]

Detengan el concurso, no hace falta ver a nadie mas. Ganaron

[melz4ever10]

Beautiful =)

[49bdr]

That is Perez Prado and it is mambo not salsa I thought the routine did not do Honor to the song sorry...

[powermezzo]

I particularly like the sequence between 2:10 and the end of the routine.

[happycinajihee]

horrible. don't use the name fred & ginger.

[WheelSlip8]

@happycinajihee

Oh come on man, cut em a little slack. I thought they were quite good.

[nihilnisi]

Ginger and Fred were very cute and whatching them dancing make me hilarious and happy. So do you. Perfect performance. I fell in love again.

[sazinak]

If the choreography was Cesars, it was a brilliant tribute, the tap, the turns, the moves and the tuxedos were near perfection. And Prado is numero uno. But Cesar, as great a dancer as he is, Natsha has the same appeal that Fred and Natasha Poberaj (tango) have. You just can not take your eyes off of them.

[Angeldealasnegras]

Brillante!!!

Me gustó mucho la interpretación de la música.

[floritka85]

Her dress is beautiful!! Wonderful performance!!!

[catwomanpl1]

Gooood! Really... I like it very much :)

[thehappiestdancer]

I like it so much!!! :)

[Mapanatl]

Everything was fine except for the deprecating comments from that idiot MC

I hope that is not "Albert What's hi face"  maybe it is bc that dude always had that nasty demeanor.

[MrJimpym]

THEY SHOULD BE INVITED TO STRICTLY COME DANCING

[sirpickles]

How dare you dissedents put the names Fred and Ginger in this title.

[Mapanatl]

@sirpickles What's your Claim to those names?

and What grants YOU any rights?

and explain your perspective on the use of "dissidents"

I'll be you got some RACIST crap you're withholding.

let's hear it.

[TwilightLuvvverxxx]

This was very good, me encanta! :) My props to the lady for being able to be spun that long lol :)

[ravbeasley]

absolutely enjjoyed the sense of fun and enjoyment that your moves convey - such a pleasure to watch again and again - well done - are you still dancing??

[networkwithnikki]

You guys rule, to all you that think these guys cant top fred & ginger think again! They are great, better than great, if they were in the same era, you wouldn't be saying that, your talking from a place of old school sentiment and that is admirable to some, but these guys are apples to apples with F & G

[CloudStrifeCera]

They are absolutely fantastic!!

[parisel313]

eehh,

[crazyformints]

Love it, so much fun to watch!

[CRAB1976]

OH MY GOD!!!! brillante!!!

[CRAB1976]

OH MY GOD!!!!

[Eurydicesong]

Awesome! This was so beautiful to watch and so fun! Thanks!

[1969Chronos]

It's very interesting how different Latinos perform ballroom dances. Latinos tend to do more flowing slow sequences whereas Americans and Europeans perform them with very sharp fast movements.

[kingojugo]

great mambo dancin

[XtremeDance10]

tapping to salsa? lol

[maryfer1313]

Guau fenomenal, que padrisimo

[GrooveWorshipper]

Awesome! This makes me smile with joy in my heart each time I watch it. Beautiful!

[rolocaster]

esto esta chingonsisimo!!! eso que yo no soy fan del baile me encanto!

[gastongian]

great! very great...

[iluvyou123100]

COOOOLLLLL!

[BigDanceFan]

Brilliant number, excellent combination of tap and salsa, did you choreograph it yourself?

[CesarHenr]

@BigDanceFan

Yes we did choreograph it ourselves! Thank you for the compliment! I love this routine! :-D

[mizsasi]

@CesarHenr

That was awesome!!!!!!

[mizsasi]

@CesarHenr

That was awesome!!!!!! anymore video's?

[RebeccaLippman]

@CesarHenr awesome job :) where did you find that dress?

[aserel2]

@BigDanceFan

Not tap, not salsa, it's MAMBOOO!!!

[Edelwhisper]

I liked it so much. It`s fun, it looks easy and effordless. Good work!

[cesarggrand]

Me gusto mucho, felicitaciones..

[aeroshark1]

That was amazing

[nybaby40]

This is a great coincidence, I was showing my daughter last night some clips of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and other great people and watching this young couple made me think that they clearly share the same kind of energy as Fred and Ginger possessed! It was flawless and enjoyable and full of unexpected moves never missing the beat, I hope that they go far....Now, unfortunately cannot say the same about the announcer... blah!

[thebiggali]

wonderful..!!!!!!

[edavrom]

people dont hate appreciate cesar and natasha you guys are very talented its such a nice routine you need to get back to doing routines brother...EDER AVILA!!!

[Motrizzia]

Bravo!!!

[andipoetic]

They're good...more than good, these 2 are brilliant...but no one can top Fred and Ginger

[CesarHenr]

@andipoetic

I couldn't agree more with your last statement. :)

But thank you!

[CesarHenr]

děkuji ti :)

[MultiJanik123]

Opravdu nádherné :-)...

[dmurray716]

the dude is to stiff, and i have seen all of there movies and i dont rememebr that dance all...and fred never made dancing look like that.....there good dancers just not even on the same scale as Fred and Ginger...lol and that is not the Salsa its the mambo so FAIL!!!!

[amirahas]

I don't understand what everyone is getting their knickers in a twist for...These two fine dancers were obviously INSPIRED by Fred and Ginger, and are not actually claiming to BE them. Etc, etc. Get over it and enjoy!

A nice effort to bring together and reinterpret some past greats: Perez Prado's fantastic mambo, and of course Fred & Ginger in Swing Time.

Well done Cesar & Natasha. Keep on dancing! :)

[kanakaken]

They are good but Fred & Ginger they aint & never could be. The worst part is the MC, he's an idiot. Ballroom competition Latin dance rarely resembles what it is called, purists should know this. In a competition situation dancers are judged on their merits. Look at Argentinian dance professionals dancing the tango & then see how it's done in ballroom competition and you'll know what I mean.

[zcw216]

Nice. But too slow for Fred and Ginger.

[cmcb09]

To the poster of this clip, as has been stated this is not salsa. It is indeed a Mambo type of number, but besides that fantastic. They are very talented and love the music/great choreography.

[313pookie313]

what a rip off

[MrTrueblewsky]

What is wrong with some of you people. Can you not just enjoy watching this? so what if it is a Mambo song and not in a Mambo style. These guys are great performers.

[jerseyman34]

dude this is offensive... i'm cuban and i'm telling you get a great old cuban song and tap and spin around to it ?? don't even bother to try and mambo ??? you guys suck. maybe you'd feel the same if i got ac/dc's back in black and did the charleston to it.

[Alixandrahahaha]

I think it'd be amazing to see ACDC with the Charleston. It's not a history lesson, it's a dance. What's wrong with a little experimentation/innovation? Hell, if I saw someone swing dance to Nine Inch Nails, that would be amazing.

[najmuedin]

This is not salsa, its mambo, one song by Pérez Prado. Lol. Still, they do not dance mambo, nor salsa. It is more like a musical routine with some tropical music as background. Salsa and mambo should be enjoyed in their own style...

[Daphnegirl93]

How can you not get dizzy?

[nibargerswife51482]

At 1st I thought she was gonna rip the dress off & have a sexy outfit but then I saw her spinning & I was like awesome I love how her skirt flows like that.

[Jovac7]

wow, that MC is a jackass

[avictolo]

This is mambo NOT salsa. You know the song. Mambo que rico el mambo.... Mambo que rico es es es.

This is great though.

[NewsTemp]

Fantastic, flow & timing like Fred & Ginger.

[gcastane2001]

great mambo! What's "span"?

[Paperingasmile]

I don't understsand how she span that many rotations! Incredible work, just such fun! Forget the salsa/mambo debate, this is just GREAT dancing!

[JudgeJulieLit]

Fun, charming, witty, delightful! Saucy, sweetly -- a couple in love.

[alix2081]

This is Mambo, not salsa, this is the music my grandparents used to dance. But is great! beautiful... but dance hall salsa should not be vulgar, the salsa that is dance on the streets and in discos is simply more sexy because it doesnt have parameters

[albertosmith23]

that's true... is one of the most popular mambos of perez prado!

[TheBarathbushan]

wow this nice salsa....not very vulgar yet it manages to keep my eyes open !!!

nice...5 stars !!!

[YouzTube99]

As a lifelong fan of Fred and Ginger, I liked this a lot -- great fun!

You could improve it by ending the vid at 2:42. The MC is as annoying as you two are delightful; he ruins the mood you worked so hard to create.

[DRAGONFLYCL]

Salsa did not existed until the 70th. The music that is played is mambo. very popular in the 50th.

[garyrey129]

That was WICKED

[Rbk428]

This is the reason why we didn't have gyms in the 50's!

[02chevyguy]

@Rbk428 Dancing is one of the BEST things you can do to get yourself into shape and lose weight..even if it's by yourself! "Dance like no one is watching".

[NZDEBUK]

Looks like lots of fun

[gasparemil]

fuck this shit :)

[sixtysue]

A-ma-zing! I loved that routine :-)

[abigailroseh]

that was incredible! Good job to those 2! I love the style- it really was very much Fred & Ginger =)

[meramonica]

Muy bien!!!!!, los fecilito :)

[mariaguajira]

great!

[Sicvicious]

wow, nice spins! amazing talent

[avenacon1pasa]

es una buena rutina para copiarla esta braba jajja

[Mexecution19]

holy shit dammm that was amazing

[diamantico53]

BRABISIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!! INCROYABLE !!!!!! les meilleur danseur de mambo du monde ,bravo bravo bravo,j aimaire avec eux ,par contre c est mambo pas salsa ! kiss a tout les deux

[OdileClio]

Ok, this is not salsa, this is mambo by Damaso Perez Prado, search for it as: "que rico mambo"

[freshinit]

that girl can dance. lessons to learn

[DanceCrazed91]

haha awwe its soo cutte.

I lovve it!

[ronniegearl]

wow...very nice

[jazztification]

Why not Cesar and Natasha, instead of Fred and Ginger? They have got their own style, they most certainly should have their own names on the title.

[gustafus21]

also.... Fred Astaire's SUITS... didn't ride up on his shoulders.... they were expertly cut....

this guys shoulders are way up.... bad cut...

my only criticism...because I just finished Fred's biography... I notice EVERYTHING

[gustafus21]

No bumps. No grinds... no crotch grabs..

Salsa doesn't have to be x rated.... I loved this.

She's as good as Eleanor Powell or Ginger.... but he didn't have the same panache....

[classicalgirl01]

THAT WAS AMAZING. Exactly Like Swing Time!

[missmalibubarbie]

omg the spins. that takes so much practice. shes great!

[edseaver]

Lol!!!!!!!

[edseaver]

Not a chance!

[ladyloveforevenmore]

absolutely perfect! a dance performance that could have go straight to a movie!

I do not understand why there produce today no longer films with such exceptional artist?

[aryanc77]

as with all generations gone by , its not that these dances are no longer with us , its just that the present generation , does'nt really care , for them , its more of what sharon stone shows that matters

[ladyloveforevenmore]

Each generation has its idols

Fred Astaire had the talent all of his dance partners look good to leave

And they were from Hollywood's dream factory as actor, singer and dancer produces, in the best years of cinema. Today many classical dance-acts currently are playing with pop-music on youtube and it looks great

[goerge131]

All I can say it is perfect !!!  Super entertaining !!! Cheers: goerge 131

[YawpingStance]

A tap-mambo? Nice. =) I like it, but I think at :58 she should've either straitened her legs or closed her knees, it would've looked better. Otherwise pretty good. ^_^

[mcqueen12345667]

That is NOT Fred Astair.And that is NOOOO Ginger.UGH!!!!

[ladyloveforevenmore]

I agree - the title "Fred and Ginger" is a predicate and hommage, which is Cesar and Natasha have deserved by their extraordinary couple dancing

There are too few with such talent, that we deny them the recognition could - they should be more encouraging !

[amsquare]

Nice effort, but Ginger and Fred? Not a chance.

[twdeck]

WOW! That was GREAT!!!!!

[pinballrobbie]

Very smooth! I think Fred and Ginger would have done it like this...well done

[basabiso]

lol, the music was hilarious...

[pogginern]

Surely that is a Mambo beat, not Salsa

[foxeygirl]

He's not dressed correctly to be Fred Astaire... No top hat and tails!

[Enerjiii]

I LOVE it! I'm a huge fan of Astaire and I can definitely picture him doing this routine.

[rossytasamaria]

It's good, but That isn't salsa!!! That's Mambo!!

[KaKaFan89]

That was AMAZING!!!

[Marjamon2]

che talenti!! precisi anche con la musica...bellissima emozione! bravissimi e molto professionali!

[IRONCLICK]

Fred & Ginger? Not even close

[marinamina17]

Awesome Video! And hey, if you have nothing nice to say, them um oh yeah! DON"T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!! Great job guys! Don't read dumb comments by miserable people that have nothing better to do than do be rude and juvenille!

[wildechilde76]

I don't want to seem too cruel, but Fred & Ginger they're not! Check out the originals if you want some real jaw-dropping excitement :)

[CesarHenr]

This video is not SUPPOSED to be of Fred and Ginger themselves. This is a tribute Natasha and I did to them. The thought behind it was, "If Fred and Ginger did salsa, this is how they would have done it".

Thanks for the input and positive feedback, especially to Ironclick, Alfoso, and this Wildechilde.

[wildechilde76]

I'm sorry if I offended you - I realise this was a tribute. On the other hand I can't pretend and wax lyrical if I truly don't appreciate something - just being honest. You've got to expect that not everyone is going to love it. Well done for the effort though. And if people only said nice things marinamina17, we'd end up living in a pretty superficial world with no critical reasoning skills or the desire to improve ourselves.

[alfonsinamdq]

¿Para qué ponen Fred y Ginger? ¡Fraude! ¡Fake!

[bellefemme10]

wow - thie spins!!!

[GrooveWorshipper]

That was so awesome!!!!

[sanmilerain]

SWEET!

[lumbiaknight87]

a big round of applause!!! very well done..good chemistry...more power to both of you..

[pixaloop]

fabulous routine

[marirma]

fantastico, increible!

muy bueno

[cesaril]

mis respetos maestro este si es baile¡¡¡¡¡¡

[julymist]

Such a funny, fun, and beautifully executed routine! I love it love it love it! You guys are beautiful together!

[FemmeFinesse]

Awesome Routine!

[Choefoe]

It,s real good and I gould,nt do it but I think Michael Jackson is a better faster and smoother dancer. I guess nott anymore but he was in Astaire,s legue.So said Astaire himself.

[psychicMAN2000]

I love the performance, I love the music, I love the whole costume (esp. Natasha's). Wonderfully done :D

[ChiGui]

This is great! I dont get tired of watching this routine. :-) Nicely done.

[pinguinol]

i think the last time i commented this i came across as mean... but i really really like this, it's amazing. i have to come back and watch it all the time, it's great.

[kvasir40]

She is fantastic!

[lapingapatolmundo]

muy bueno!!! Me quito el sombrero!!!

[connected1914]

Wooooow! great! thats really Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!

ya rock!

[istoleolivia]

I don't know much about dance, but I do know that it was a wonderful performance. Very enjoyable.

[sarahchalmers123]

Really Goood :)

As a dancer myself i watch things more techincally - and This was amazing!

Well Done!

xx

[bsalinas0818]

great mambo!!!!!big shout out to you salseros!!

[813Architect]

This is the most unique and innovative salsa clip on the web. This couple has taken a TOTALLY different dance genre, repackaged it and made it their own. It's a clip that makes me smile every time I see it, both for the precision and joy that this couple shows, as well as for the incomparable fusion of such different styles. Thank you for thinking outside of the box.

[audreaaa]

you both are such a great dancers! :DD

[pinaritap]

perfeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccct i wnt to dance like this :))))) wonderfuuul technique

[cea5653]

its really fun to put this on mute and watch it to your favorite music. It enhances the way you see them dance alot.

[tanja0322]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!! I really think Fred and Ginger would be proud and definitely honored!!! Please post this one on SalsaDynastyDOTcom...if you post at least 4 vids, you can be entered to win a free video camera!!! check it out!

[pinguinol]

this song is a mambo, not a salsa. just to let you know:)

[CesarHenr]

Really?????????

lol

Just kidding.

Yes, we know. :)

Thanks for the comment!

~C

[TERRANCIO]

They change names all the time, they dont care, did you noticed the announcer called him Ceasar?

his name is Cesar, sounds different, but... he wants to be an Anglo! you should dance "Yo quiero ser como Ariel" from Oscar d' Leon, lol talks about that, about these black Astaires!

[sarotot]

realmente extraordinario..¡como gira esta bailarina!!! HUGO GOÑI Argentina

[Saphora15]

Wow you guys danced so well!!!

I hope that someday I could salsa dance as well as you guys did :)

[miltonrodas]

Cesar, congratulations! This is amazing! :)

[pieinsky]

very smooth!

[irmavillafuerte]

I ran into this randomly and let me say that Im glad I did... I love this routine.....its cute, funny, and clean!

Im a big fan of Fred and Ginger.The male dancer should improve his posture and hand moves thou he gots Fred's attitude. Nice vid...
