Tai and Jamahn dancing Casino (Cuban) Style Salsa

[borgespezblanco]

This is a great video! It exemplifies everything great about Cuban salsa....la alegria, la velocidad, el sabor, la música......todo. Are you instructors? Do you two learn to dance like this on the island?

@borgespezblanco Thanks so much for the compliments! I'm the guy dancing in the video. Neither of us are instructors. I'm not sure about my dance partner in the video but I've never traveled to Cuba. I hope to someday. I need to save up for a trip because I would love to go there and learn more.

Lo mejor es como bailan en buen tiempo, no muchos bailadores bailan en el tiempo correcto especialmente a una timba rapida.

Hey nice dance! I am a salsero, but I dedicate my time to dance casino as well. This is great!

Sweet! You guys are in Oakland? Lucky! I am so bummed to be missing the Cuban Salsa Congress in SF this year. Do you guys know Susanna Arenas and Jesus Diaz? They both come up to Humboldt every summer to teach workshop. Anyway great dynamic dancing, and nice meeting you.

thanks for the comments :). i know both of them: both masters in their fields. thanks for watching!

by the way, there is a sizable group of casino-style dancers at allegro's on Sundays. we always group near the DJ booth.

great dancing. however this music is sooo rich you could get more from it - you could accent music more with your movements.

What city are these guys in? I need to move there so I can learn that style.

[misotaitai]

[Ruedaddicted]

Love your style !!! You may also come dancing in Bordeaux ( South of france ) for the rueda festival :-)

[JazzyJez]

YOu guys must go to Allegro's!!I don't know how to dance Timba, even though I watched the DVD of QUICK & DIRTY SALSA. I really will like to learn so I can dance this fly, especially at Allegro's

[misotaitai]

thanks for watching, jazzyjez! we do come out to Allegro's when we can. they have the best dance floor in the bay :).

Just curious, I know my friends go to Allegro's on Sunday night for Salsa. Is there a specific night that they do Cuban style?
