Salsa variation - Juana la Cubana

[vegatu]

Juana la Cubana ? looks more Sombrero! but everyone has their style... I'm still with the Cuban clasic ..

la bendicion!

[medianochesalsa]

It starts with "sombrero" but has some additions. That's how it arrived here from Miami :)

I think the video "sombrero (type 1)" has the classic version of sombrero. (let me know if I'm wrong)

Could you describe the Cuban version of "Juana La cubana", or upload a video of it?

It will really help!

And thanks for the comment!

Its just a series of steps you should already know, It starts with a Sombrero, a LH alarde, a dile que no with the RH down, LH behind Leed, bring her across, another LH alarde into an exibela ending with a one handed Sombrero. And finish it with a dile que no..

If you don't understand some the names I called it then, you should practice those first...

[medianochesalsa]

Is this a description of "El Once"?

All names are known, but Not sure I got it.

1) on the DQN where is the LH? still in the alarde or going down too?

2) bringing her across from where to where through where? (left to right from the back?)

3) On what side is the second exhibela done?

4) The last sombrero is done from where to where?

5) The second exhibela is done on the right like the first one?

Thanks

Not "El Once"

I was trying to describe Juana la Cubana in smaller steps for fisicaccio83.

please feel free to clarify what I said.

[medianochesalsa]

In Media Noche we'd describe it as:

1) first two "septets" of Sombrero Doble (sombrero and dile que no)

2) one "septet" of the El Uno element (3rd basic step behind the girl), plus alarde on the guy

3) exhibala without leaving hands.

Being a non-basic move the explanation is based on simpler moves.

Hey man, Do you know a movement called "El Once"? thanks in advanced

[medianochesalsa]

No, Never heard of it.

If you could upload a clip of it (Or at least a description) we'll see it it fits the collection.

[salasraton]

I think he mean el 12... the combination 1 and 2.. btw i like your videos! gratz from venezuela - latin america =)

[medianochesalsa]

If you mean "El Doce", then we do know it, and it will be filmed once we get to film in a Rueda struct. The media people work on that :)

And cheers to our viewers from Venezuela! The statistics show that this collection has a hugh amount of views from Venezuela, So we are happy to see feedback from you!

The clips were meant from the beginning as demonstrations, and not tutorials. A main reason was that a clip cannot teach you what an good istructor can.

For beginners these clips can help remember things they've already learned.

For advanced they can be a source for new things, just like we've learned some of these by looking at people dancing them.

By the way, there are many salsa DVDs in the market with elaborate explanations, in case you need these (although they are not free).

[fisicaccio83]

why don't you put some slow explanation? the steps are very cute, but impossible to learn for beginner
