  • R A P I S T

  • So you think you can rape?

  • @whatthaell lol

  • At 2:04, that guy had a really good view. haha lol

  • 2:04 - 2:09 guy on the left haha!!

  • @carmonajehu actually they are dancing on 1.

  • Da Silva the guy that has been raping chicks since the early 90s and swindling chicks asking them for money and loans that he never repaid.

    he would never bring up the subject of repayment and the dumb chick would simply not put him on the spot. He swindled lot's of Chicks and raped lots of them with his lies.

    he even flew Chicks to his Pad in the Bay area where he lived with his mother and on the second floor he would take advantage of the chicks.

    and Yet, he still gets away 16+ years later

  • @carmonajehu NO Stupid They're dancing on 9

  • song ?

  • Name of song is El Timbal (or Timbalero). It is from Sonora Poncena which are the ones playing it live. If you look for it, do not confuse it with Timbalero by El Gran COmbo

  • si bailar salsa no es solo figuras es mucho mas...ritmo, sensacion, passion y mezclarse a tal punto de llegar a ser como una sola persona...

  • he's my friend. he was my step-mom and dad's salsa dance instructer, until he got into a car accident.

  • I don't remember a story about that...and there have been no comments since then have there? They never think its news when someone has been cleared.

  • he's so busy showing off, and ruff it's not appearing to the eyes. anyway, he should save his moves for a competion not the dance floor.

  • Hey all,

    Does anyone know the particular move when he and the girl do a "hand mixer" type movement where he twirls her around him like a hand mixer? If someone could give me the name of the move or give me a link where this move can be demonstrated more slowly, that would be great. Thanks all.

  • I hope he doesn't get to teach big black guys to salsa in the joint. RAPE is a crime of VIOLENCE. Maybe he is actually gay and hates women and having to conform.

  • He didn't rape anybody.He's been cleared of all charges within a day.

  • Que maldito, arrestado por poner so pichoncito a cuatro mujeres de guerza! Pendejo! Estabas en un sho de television! Ahora vas a comer los pichones de los maniacos en la carcel, wachinango de ese putada de programa so you think you can dance!

  • Very cool.

  • El baile de la licuadora, esto es un insulto para los verdaderos salseros, que horror.

  • I agree

  • saw him dance before, he doesn't stay on beat. what's the use of cool moves if you can't even stay on beat

  • @afser he's on beat, however, he's improvising with tango moves in the middle of a salsa social dance. Tango isn't danced on the beat it's danced through the beat in phrases. So it seems like he's off the beat. When one improvises anything goes as long as it doesn't disrupt the partnership and your improv ends on timing. That's the difference between learning patterns and steps in the studio and taking your dancing to the next level.

  • que es canción...me gusta..^_^....i wan to know the song...pls tell me thank you..

  • Alex incorporates and reflects MACHISMO in his moves. he has Salsa lessons called Sexy moves. And that they are!!

    Yes, this is choreographed priorly!! He could not lead these patterns to a girl nor familiar with them.

    But that is the point, salsa sometimes is danced by two people who used to practice together :)

  • With all due respect, you seemed to be jealous.

  • such a disregard for one's partner...

    awful just awful.

  • Alex combines!

    In the world of salsa New York is BALLROOM dance, Los Angeles style is alike, but more acrobatic.

    Cuban style is a LIVE, street salsa, where you have to LEAD. Here you have to physically drag the girl. Yes, in cuban salsa guy IS dominant, girl gets owned, she does what she is told to. Like it or not, democratic dancers.

  • What about smiling?

  • RAPIST!!!

  • OMG im in this vif i have the white beanie on thats my hot wife next to me..she gives me hand jobs while she takes shits

  • Truth is earth is shaking for most of the "salseros" at the nightclubs, they all have a reputation for going after the girls and passing them from one to another when they are done with them. Alex just happens to be one of the most populars and good looking among them therefore he had more women in is harem.

  • Latest News on Alex Da Silva (source NBC LA News)

    Los Angeles County prosecutors declined Tuesday to file criminal charges against salsa dancer and choreographer Alex Da Silva.....

    ....Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office, said prosecutors wanted police to conduct more investigation before charges are considered. She also said more alleged victims have come forward, and they still needed to be interviewed.

  • yea thta's some really horrible shit.

    It's even more obvious since it has happened to *multiple* women (who don't know each other), over the course of 6 years, and they are all telling the exact same story.

  • creeper

  • I am checking what he has in his pants, but it looks very small LOLLLL poor him

  • does not matter what's in his pants, it's the charges against him that is the problem.

  • way to screw his career over. his bail is set so high, but even if it wasn't...raping his dance students..i'm not sure who would go to him after that.

  • He's in trouble for allegedly raping several women, some of whom don't know each other yet give similar accounts. I think the guy is in trouble and will get raped prison.

  • Hes in jail now for molesting his clients!

  • welcome to la !

  • wow amazing

  • le puede meter un monton de Stilos pero esto no es salsa( montuno, son etc) no es, no mueve los pies asi no se baila en los barrios para ser rumbero tiene que tener calle, solo baila parado, las vueltas quizas estan en algo, la clave donde esta, el saoco de la mujer el coqueteo, no es tango es salsa. asi que no pasa nada, miren como baila roberto Roena asi se baila hasta con pareja. A compas de la conga o el timbal, del bajo nada del afinque.

  • interesting dancer.... he uses tango, cuban casino moves into his repertoire...

  • He's a ballroom dancer, so I don't expect him to dance Salsa in any way I like. But if he's going to do Salsa workshops (which he does), then prepare to be scrutinized!

    Many dancer showboat for the camera. Social dancing is great for advertising. But I think that those who show off without looking like they are trying are way cooler and better dancers.

    Yes he is dancing on 1. He either doesn't care about the fact that he is switching between on1 and on5, or he cannot tell the difference.

  • he's dancing on1 and tends to switch to on5 in some instances. that's all, but he is def not dancing on2.

  • Well, we make no mention on what counts they dance on, we just record the dancing as it is. The counts they dance on is up to the viewer to decide.

    Second, Alex is a LA Style dancer and he mainly dances on1, especially with his partner. In this video, he switches between on1 and on2 - but according to sources, it is speculated it is because he loses his timing and tends to go off-beat. You can decide for yourself when watching the video.

  • @apersaud that's funny. it's not up to the viewer to decide. They are dancing on one. If you know music and dance you know what count they are breaking on.

  • Usually when an instructor is "social" dancing with his/her partner at a big congress - the tend to showboatall their skills - its called advertising. Oliver Pineda does it - they ALL do, so quit hating. alex is a fantastic dancer and perfomer.

  • I agree, this guy seen a camera and started dancing to show off. People see frankie dance and the cameras come out.

  • TYPICAL CRAP FROM LA!!!!!

  • great DANCING, 4get the style for god's sake!

    Some people are like these Japanese karate teachers who say: "Karate is the best"

    and then sum other idiot says: "No Kung Fu is the best style".

    Just enjoy the dance + music

  • He rocks. He's technical and feels the music. L.A. Salsa rules....and, I am a New Yorker!

  • he sucks.. thats not social dancing.. he must have confused the dance floor for a stage. and his tricks... its getting old.

  • She has the same problem. If you're going to talk bad about showboating "it takes two to tango". She's doing all the little club tricks, too.

  • YAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    That is action, that is SAAAALLLSSSSSSSSSAAAAAA.

  • To say that mambo has been dead since 1975 is just plain ignorant. That just tells me you don't know what you're dancing. Might be a good idea to get educated before you decide to show everyone how smart you think you are. Intelimundo is right, his style is trick dependent, low flow or rhythm. Doesn't mean it doesn't have value, it's just a different style.

  • Totally dependant on tricks with partner which he does flawlessly. No flow and spontaneity to his dance. At one point he even swithces his timing around..see if you can catch it. From watching some his other videos posted on you tube, he seems to be some what repetitive. This style of dancing is unfortunately what you see a lot of in west coast salsa performances where you see a lot of tricks and very little interpretation of the actual dance which is Mambo.

  • I wont hate on Alex..used to be an Alex fan when i first started dancing. His style nor his moves have changed much over the years - he dances the same way to fast or slow music.

    Now I prefer to watch people like Frankie Martinez social dancing..awesome body movements & isolation and music interpretition. Social dancing aside, Alex is still a great choreographer and peformer.

  • By the way, the name of the girl is Alién and she is a terrific instructor. Patient, compromised and doesn´t just show herself. I took a class with both of them, and well Alién is much better than Alex.

  • how much was the class? where?

  • at mexico C=

    four hours for 20 dollars moreless

  • i watched her class with alex and talked to her after the class. very down to earth and a good teacher. alex is also a cool cat. why all this noise about the way he dances??? just leave the guy to do his own thing after all he brings diversity into the salsa scene.

  • dance on time or MAGIC?...What is better?...I Know many with the "beat", but just a few with "MAGIA" ...Alex da silva "uno de mis Favoritos".

  • Baila on1, on2, on6 on3/4, on8-4 on7.333, diganme en que baila??????

  • He dances on top of the music - combination of LA style with cuban style. He worries more about hitting the accents of the songs than staying on perfect timing. With good momentun anyone can move any lady.

  • I agree. The comments are filled with just a bunch of haters who couldn't hold a beat if their very life depended on it. You haters need to put a camera on yourself and see how sloppy you really look compared to any professional dancer. The problem is 90% of you are cowards, failures yourself and/or full of hot air. Pathetic.

  • this salsa comments are full of haters, critics and smartasses.I just would like them to post their dance videos and then post a comment about themself.

  • i just forgot most of these "smart asses" they have a nickname related to SALSA....something ,like:salsera2984,salsabint, etc.etc., Just assholes critics and jackasses....

  • I feel sorry for her. She looked so uncomfortable doing all that funky stuff. You shouldn't do that at socials unless they're going to announce you and the spotlight is on you. Was he trying to show off his new choreography then? Well, it didn't work. It was terrible!

  • I use to dance at a club in San Jose where alex da silva would go. he dances the same.turns the girl where she looks silly..he just stands there while she is doing all the work. NO SWING..

  • This jackass thinks the girl is a spintop. salsa is about SWING.

  • He is amazing and good looking

  • Its all good! If we are to be totally honest.Lots of the video clips we see even from the famous and respected dance instructors show them dance straight through the music. The moves are very stylish and contemporary but at times lack feel, rhythm and connection with great salsa beats. Unless it is a Show rehearsed 50*

  • Young people learn from this guy:

    So old yet so energetic; could someone pass him an oxygen tank by the way...?

    With much love from LA to NYC: The MexakiN

  • I like the way he just keeps on dancing when she ends up on the floor, doesn't offer to help her up or assist her to free her trapped heel. What a gent!!

  • Her skirt got caught with the heel, there is nothing he could've done about it. He just waited until she was ready to keep going.

    I've been in the same situation and that is totally fine.

    (And I'm not an Alex fan, but in this case, i don't think he did anything wrong)

  • Chreography is what it is... and this is what some folks like... you would never see this at home party back in latinamerica... as a choreographed dance... it looks cool. BUT... to each his own... I still like to watch ;-) Just not my style =)

  • well you know what they say... don't hate the player, hate the game... ;) next time next time...

  • Those who can do. Those who cannot imitate the usual common moves. They could be practising the moves for an upcoming show while social dancing or entertaining the crowd or dancing for the camera.

  • I'm not here to hate but I simply don't understand the need for all that show and choreography when they are supposed to be social dancing, and feeling and niterpreting the music...you don't have to agree with me or respond I'm just jelous, this is simply not my cup of tea.

  • its the style and charisma..

  • He is off-beat as always. That's mystery for me, how could you become famous instructor if you are not even dancing in rhythm?

  • We cannot know whether he was on the beat or not. Too often these videos lose audio sync, so it could be a problem in the video and not the dancer.

    And know that I look closely, he seems to be in sync with other dancers, so he is probably on the beat as he should.

  • That's true that videos on youtube are desynchronised often. But I've seen Alex live and he is not dancing to rhythm as well. I will upload some video of him from my camera soon so you might see it.

  • Just want to clarify, this video is fully synchronized to the audio. I double checked it based on the original.

  • The answer to this mystery is that when he pulls off stunts as cool as the one at 1:44 in this video, you have to forgive him for being off time. This is the special Alex da Silva Exception to the "Always dance on time and to the music" rule. Yes, it would be even better if he did the stunts on time, but ya can't have everything :)

  • What Alex manages do to and other "so called good dancers don't do", is "Come with Style, Presence and Mixes his dance very well!!

  • Yes that is Alex's partner...
