The Quick & Dirty Guide to Salsa - Lesson 1 front angle

[MrStarskyandhutch]

..Why does she count 4,5,6 when you only tap on 4 and only step on 5,6,and 7 ??

[garrettgibbons]

Great stuff.

[betmen1]

she's doing male steps and he's doing female steps. And they both go forward at the same time. You don't do that. Ever. And guys always start on 1 with left. 5 is right... Vice versa for the girls. And 4 is null beat (same as 8). You don't count that...

[str8edge128]

This is proper traditional Cuban style rueda. Im sorry to say you're mistaken. Perhaps you're confusing this with LA style.

[betmen1]

Nope... LA Style is basically line dancing. A girl is ALWAYS on the straight line. Same with a guy, only he's allowed to "get off" the line to do a move...

Plus, "rueda" is Spanish for "wheel" and that's what it is... Three or more couples dancing in a circle and one lead is calling the moves. You can do it with two couples as well...

This is Cuban Style SALSA only, she's doing male steps and he... I really dunno what he's at...

And she's counting "4". Which you don't, as it's null beat...

[vegatu]

There's not exact definition of Guapeando there are different style! from Santiago de Cuba de do different than the Havana, as long you're in rhythm you're dancing!.

I like to say that they are not wrong about their instruction, because they are very well qualified to teach us, That's a real Cuban dancing style we do call Casino!!

Everything we do while we're dancing ( cuban style Salsa (casino) ( walking, turning, jump and so' is permitted as long you're in the rhythm!

La bendicion!

[vsirrmk]

She danced as if the floor was slippery

[janarosem]

[buenavistaa]

[juancamoteperdomo]

enflufla , dile que no blah blah what the hell is that does she have a problem or what???

[difegeva]

are u stupid?

[thecazshow]

these are very sloppy dancers - wudnt inspire me to buy the DVD :S

also, her trousers are waaayyy to short lol!

[mpourina]

this is absolutely wrong!!! her feet should close after the front and back step!!!!

[solomovement]

Actually, your feet never come together in a basic in any style of Salsa. Not On 1. Not On 2. Not in Cuban, or Miami style. An instructor may start teaching a basic with the feet coming together after a rock step, but when you're actually dancing it, they never come together.

[duvalmenina]

lol I love how you equalized Cuban style and Miami lol

[jondoc72]

this is great!!!

[Allegra02]

[djnetmen]

enchufla???? DILE KE NO?? hahhaha

what the fuck is she talking about??ha haha

[meredith1001]

smarty she's saying when "dile que no" "tell him no" when she turns inwards to him but turns outwards just as quickly

[Jhosephus]

Lol, I was thinking WTF?...

[Geeniuz]

They're actually teaching cuban style salsa or casino as its known in the US. "Dile que no" is their name for a cross body lead. "Enchufla" means to break back, give her a half left, then send her right back. You would normally hear all these calls during a rueda, which is why they have names so everyone in the circle know what to do and when.

[darkc44]

what song is this? i think it's oscar de leon but i dont know the name of it?

[kewlwackyguy]

salsa 2

[JazzyJez]

I love your videos! You were such great influence to dancing Salsa. I did realize that this is Cuban Style Salsa, rueda, casino and unfortunately people in this area dance ON1 and ON2. Nevertheless i love Cuban Salsa, love the patterns and the hand patterns. In fact in one my videos I used the "Kentucky" it is fair to say that people should first learn about the different styles of dancing.
