Learn Salsa Dance : Basic Tricks

[TreysLover]

This is AWESOME! I really have enjoyed learning from these videos....keep them coming please!!!

[KremlinH]

Do you have a video that has a neck twirl (for both guys and girls) where one places their arm on the other's shoulder and you're supposed to duck underneath? Hope you know what I mean, I learned it in class but can't find it anywhere

[daisyOP08]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You are great at teaching because you are actually explaining what ladies do during the dance. Great videos! Thank you!

No es una critica solo es una observacion... pero eso es secundario para mi; lo que queria saber si es que aqui en california tienes una academia donde uno pueda mejorar tecnicas y movimientos de salsa. Yo bailo bien , pero no tengo la tecnica que tu tienes. gracias! y gracias por poner subtitulos!

[marumadriles]

hello, I don't know if you already have a video, but I'd like to ask if it's possible to make one about turns for ladies. Like, about balance, what you do with your feet when you turn, hand position, shoulders... thanks a lot! or, is there already a video about it? :)

¡gracias y suerte!

[whytewido]

Melanie im in luv wit youuuu.... :D

[Anaid999]

OMG she talks! O_O hahaha she never talks!

[jirishus]

Chevere!

[82Manuela]

fabulous!!!

[b00i00d]

Thanks guys! This beautifully fills gaps for the improver, so you dont end up doing the same cross body leads during a dance

[27negrita]

algo mas intelijente esa wey no tiene otras zapatillas

[streetzoldier305]

they dance really beautiful thanks for the help

[pruata]

porque solamente escriben tonterias, es que nadie tiene algo inteligente que decir?

[ManiacCraniac]

Es YouTube. ¿Que mas puede esperar?

tus muertos

[GeorgeVasilyev]

on what counts does she do her little kicks? When she throws her leg up, does it replace 1-2-3?

[domenicourbino]

He don't know how to dance!!!

[royalcoat1]

She dances very well

[flauschkatz]

Actually you are doing 3 different turns/spins here in that cross body lead, aren't you: 1 turn leading with your left and 2 spins leading with our right (high and low). It is a bit like following a hockey game: Lots of movement, but I hardly ever know where the puck is.

[FlauschkatzNr1]

AP, hi, I really appreciate this! Can't tell you enough! The cues to detail make all the difference. Here holding the palm upwards makes the lead signal clear and the turn comfortable. Foreshortening the movement on one gives the cross body lead an real easy flow instead of it becoming a wide and stricken maneuver.

[FlauschkatzNr1]

Believe me, I am 2 meters and 120 kilo, but the ladies expect me to lead the dance even though I am having major probs just hefting my own self around. The whole move becomes natural and intimate and simply a very nice thing to do with a sunny girl: Take her for a walk and add a bit of spin to let her shine.

[FlauschkatzNr1]

I have actually taken a one year course with a male instructor who would never give any hint as to how a guy might introduce a movement, always just tons of choreography no-one could use and all in a "slotted" stiff style. Along comes AP with his little 3 min videos and right away I see that handswing, first low and out on 1, 2, then up 3, - , for the lady's right turn. Leaves me with less bafflement and panic, and with much more time to consider the music and the ladies.

[salsaman247]

If you want to learn to dance Salsa in the clubs then I think these two do a good job. There is a world of difference between dancing in a show and dancing for enjoyment at your local club. And who has the right to say what "real" Salsa is? It doesn't belong to any one group of people, it is a world-wide dance and belongs to the person who is dancing it.

[salsasaboryestilo]

what ever is your idea about god, god bleses every one. what ever is your idea about salsa enjoy your self salsaludos salsaman

[hanakogian]

totally!

[SistemaKaoso]

Now this is the attitude of real salsa dancers. :)

[daelmagra]

saborrrrrrrrrrr

[fervask]

this makes me laugh, i love salsa, im from peru, friends if u want to know how the real salsa is, check: SONIDO BESTIAL - Kids Dancing Salsa CALI STYLE

[timbero1]

Both of these styles make me laugh. This is nothing natural about this "gringo" style. Poor Cali kids were taught a style that has nothing to do with the music or the clave. Salsa is from Cuba and casino is the best way to dance salsa

[Skeeter66]

I think casino is pretty boring, even to look at. If you like dancing and salsa then just watching salseros is entertaining. Casino is for robots on merry go rounds, because if I wanted to watch robots dance, then I'd watch professional dancers. Salsa is all about sabor.

[Chochivoros3]

Salsa is not from Cuba, their style makes me laugh becasue it is a two setp modification of country music and completely off the clave. Look for La Fania, La Selecta, and other PuertoRICAN orquestas and then come back and tell me how to dance. The Cuban style is anything but style

[timbero1]

Two step modification? Off the clave? Where do you think the clave in salsa music comes from? From Cuba !! Fania is old music. Just look up Ruben Blades' lastest video in youtube. He says salsa comes from Cuba. Celia Cruz & Tito Puente said the same thing. If there were no Cuban music, those Puerto Rican groups would be stuck playing their plenas and bombas. They wouldn't have called the movie Dirty Dancing: SAN JUAN nights, because nobody would see the movie.

[Chochivoros3]

heheheheh, people from Peru actually dance salsa, don't make me laugh , all you do when you dance is imitate a condor pecking its wings

[miss550]

she's sexy

[Lexuga]

si quieren de salsa...wellcome to CALLAO- PERU

[rosado3p]

that girl is hot

[SNS703]

in a way i agree, i mean yea they know all the moves but they dont know how to use them porperly. to me they dance like white people lol

and they have no style at all. but the lesson are good :)

[jarelchico]

@rosado3p ..But you can barely see her face....

[musicianhayd]

wow, i didn't know there was so much in salsa! I might try and learn this...

[rosado3p]

yea, this is only the beginning... its hard!

[jaepil]

[haberquehay]

te bistes como si acabaras de salir de la fabrica de trabajar y te fuiste a filmar

[apersaud]

pues, si donaras un poco - nos podrias ayudar. BTW: es 'a ver que hay'.

[davidlatino01]

Me gusta ver tus videos por que aprendo tecnicas para llevar correctamente  a la pareja cuando bailo, but!! como que veo que llevas el ritmo un macrosegundo menos de la musica , sera por que estas enseñando a bailar y esa distraccion te atrasa en el seguimiento del ritmo......

"im afraid the guy doesnt have any good sense of dancing his movements arent that nice the girls has much better style"

I love to read notes from the haters.

[RabiaB]

Sorry, but that was actually criticism. somebody disagreeing with you is not the same as hating, or flaming.

Inflationary use of extremes = not good.

[Triumphit1]

Anthony does good, and so does the girl, u ppl act like he is claiming to be a salsa master or something, esta bien

[knightwarriorweekend]

im afraid the guy doesnt have any good sense of dancing his movements arent that nice the girls has much better style

[edliao79]

como se llama la cancion y el autor ? gracias

[shrimpatrophy]

pas mal du tout...

[rewill17]

rumbero yo!!!??? ehh si si si!

[laguest84]

I love salsa! A rumbiar se ha dicho!

[jaysilentbob]

You know what? I actually appologize about what i sed about the girl in one of the other videos. It looked like she was leading herself, but really it was just becuz she KNEW what he was teaching cuz its a turn pattern...but in this video i have to say that shes a goood follower and she can move her body really well!.

[Thasgo]

Wow, great video

the link that you give, the song "negro bembon" by hijos celebres, not found now. Does the link of song negro bembon up again? plis :)

[cheedoz]

i love salsa music from a musician point of view but i've never learned how to dance it mostly cus i've always lived in a non-latin communities. but now theres 2 salsa clubs where i live and i would realy like to get out to them but i'm realy having a hard time picking it up and i dont want to go there completely sucking at it, is there anything you could suggest or is it more like a it comes with time thing?

[higuchikty]

What is the music title at first of this video?

[apersaud]

El Negro Bembon by Hijos De Celebres.

[higuchikty]

Thank you very much for telling me.

It's quite famous song, isn't it?

There were various versions in a site of itms.

[rictan302]

I appreciate those hand pointers. Those little tricks that make it more comfortable or natural for your partner make her look better. When you do that, you're in business.

[smileyg2]

I dance cuban and this is helpful...yikes. Good stuff. I don't know about those other testimonial responses. I don't wanna know how much booty you get 'cause you dance salsa.

[capnlilpants]

Whatever...he is awesome as well

[FernandoCruzalegui]

she is definetely HOT!

[blackcondor007]

You are the best teachers in the world.

[egjundis]

As a newby learning in a drop in environment these are the kind nuances that make all the difference. One of my big challenges is that after learning a pattern in a class setting, then trying to learn how to lead it in a social setting. This helps! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. Your audio podcast are great as well!!

[briksitnfl]

I love and need these videos but he only suggestion would be wirelss mic's or voice overs... WOW Though,.. you need a production deal too... These could be HOT selling DVD's

[mattsworshipsession]

i love your videos and moani is hot!

[egotrader]

I love it! As a single guy living in New York, I've learned to use Salsa as a great ice-breaker in meeting women. It's a great advantage over those wealthy white no rhythm Investment Banking suits who have to rely on their money. After they get the girls drunk, I swoop in and Salsa with them. Game Over!

[apersaud]

Hahahah! That is hilarious!

[st3ntor]

Yeah, Right, I am in NZ. I used salsa to get hook up with girls. And even chicks at dance class dig me. It's a great tool to tease them too, especially when they accidentally step on my toe. lol!

[crackerwrythym]

As a cracker w/plenty of rythym who is recently learning to salsa all I have to do is go to the latin clubs around here and show a little rythym. At that point ALL the senoritas want to help me learn. It definitely transcends any language barrier.

AP thanks for the great videos.

[guydownthestret4]

amazing, absolutely amazing, i love all ur videos
