Osbanis and Marina Vanyushina salsa cubana social dancing

[atodamadre2]

I've tried salsa and timba and with out a doubt like timba better than salsa because of the way timba was built , its all abou the music not showing off who can spin faster or dance quicker ....timba is all about feeling the music .....really words cant describe it

[teribbledancer]

I agree with blackjojo that in europe you don need some basis to start.cause we are not used to the music.But after learning basic we should make transition into feeling the music.Wher I learnt after first few minutes of 1,2,3 there are no counts.Once you feel the music your body just sways to it.Some people ask me how do i seem to dance with so well as I always seem to be stepping/breaking on 2 3,4,5,6,7,8.Truth is I have no idea which beat i step on I stopped counting long time ago.

[DollTinkerbell]

Oh for goodness SAKES ....some of you on here are hilarious. Osbanis is KNOWN as a TREMENDO dancer and TEACHER. ALso, I was BORN in Los Angeles, but both my parents are Cuban and my sister and I have been DACING SALSA since we could walk! I have won MANY salsa competitions and with DIFFERENT PARTNERS. Cuban, Colombians, and Puerto RIcans. Sorry to say, I feel Cubans do dance with a BIT more soul... When teaching others to dance counts are required, but TEACHING to FEEL is when they learn!

[DominiCubana]

blackjojo22,

I did not have an agenda or bad intentions when I responded to your post. You seem like a nice person. I hope you figure out/find your answer. Deseando muchas bendiciones...colorín colorado este cuento se ha acabado. Suerte y Ciao

[blackjojo22]

i have never understand why some cuban dancer break on3 while some other break on1 ... who could telle me the real timming on wich to break on cuban salsa

[DominiCubana]

when we dance we are not thinking about breaking on 1 or 3 it's what we feel when we hear the music and it depends on what kind of music we hear. In our minds and bodies we are just having fun and feeling the music. Sorry that's the best I can answer.

[blackjojo22]

Ok i understand your feeling notions. But when you teach this dance to people never introduced into cuban culture you cant just ask them to follow their felling. You must teach some basic step and timing. And i dont really agree that cuban salsa dont focus on timing (yeah breakin on1 , on 2 on3 is timming notion).

Yanek Revilla break all his moves on 1 while there are some other whose break on3. I could understand that like linear salsa , it could be break on timing we want (on1 or on2)

[DominiCubana]

Ok I respect your opinion. Here's better example of what I am trying to explain. Many Cuban children (like me) dance from the moment that they can walk (ok a bit of exaggeration pero I think you understand) they don't go to a school or have a teacher break down the "breaks" how then do our kids dance the way that they do, and better than some adults who study "our style", without any "formal teaching"? They feel the music. I hope there are other Cubans out there who can explain to you better.

[blackjojo22]

So in wich timing do all theses well renown cuban teachers teach at cubamemucho festival? You cant come in front of people and just ask them to fell the music without knowing how to move feet( and that is where timing notion come out). If i follow your logic only cuban born and raised in cuban culture are able to dance and fell cuban music, wich of course is false. I think really there are much very good cuban born dancers, but they really lack on the transmit of their culture to other people.

[DominiCubana]

Honestly I dont care what goes on in the commercial world of "cuban or any style" dance. That's the problem w/ anaylzing everything 2 death. I wasn't trying 2 share "logic" or speak on what any teacher "chooses" 2 share. They know that ur there 2 pick their brains 4 profit. You keep telling ME what is "false" and are coming across as knowing it all. IF thats the case why can't u figure out what my little cuban cousins already know without going to workshops? Transmission of Culture? Obligation?

[miodragsalsa]

I agree with you...even though I'm not Cuban myself.

The "MUSIC" is a powerful tools...you should first feel the music and then start dancing..la clave, timba, the differences of timing, you should appreciate the diversity of the sounds. here in Europe it's an obsession for most of the people thinking whether they should dance on 1, 2, 3 7 or whatever the numbers are. la music es la pasion, la cultura divina.

[miodragsalsa]

with I agree with you I mean with DominiCubana

[DollTinkerbell]

Hi, when teaching SALSA everyone truly does it a bit different. I know this is a product and it's for sale, but some of us (Cuban children) just have naturally and it upsets us. Yes, we want ALL to learn to dance and have fun, but truly...Imean...FEEL IT AND forget the counts!

[thugminican]

lol...yo dominicuba please tell them you gotta watch. F all the counting beats. this is not technical scientific stuff..u dance by feeling it. Thats the horrors of dance school salsa and that competition crap. I have seen no-name dudes at house parties in the bronx..that smoke salsa competitors. Really!!! Then they want hang around...GET OUTTAAAAA HERE
