The DPS Lock Salsa Dance Combo

Salsa dancing lesson video. This move is called the DPS lock combo because you place the follow's arms in a similar fashion to the way the 'Department of Public Safety' (DPS) places yours if you ever get arrested by them. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don't break it). http://addicted2salsa.com/videos

Yes, it was because it was take number 7. (lucky number seven). And if we got it right, we'd all go out for shots. :-)

I finally figured out what bothers me about this video.. they don't even look at each other! Salsa is supposed to be a very sensual dance yet these two barely make eye contract!!!

Other than that, good instructional video..

[apersaud]

We focus on the instruction (teaching) in this video, there are many videos that already do that. For social dancing videos, you can search for them on our channel as well.

everything is nice, i mean, the moves 1-3 and then 5-7.. but one question.. What happened to the 4 ?

[apersaud]

The 4 and 8 are considered pauses in the music.

Great videos, and I have a question, when the girl dances she takes a couple of extra steps on the counts, it looks awesome, is that a shine and will she show us her foot steps please!!!!

Thony, I see you are a great salsa teacher, I got an issue and you might recomend me something, I have been practising salsa for lets say two years, It is just very hard for me to remember combinations, if I write them down i do not think it will help... What is best?



[eramosramirez90]

whats the name of the song 

[left2odds]

Do you have any other combinations using the DPS lock? I've been trying this lock for some time now prior to this video, but I don't have the imagination to invent an alternate combination. Greetings from Curacao.

wow, they are really good at dancing! My dance instructor was teaching us this in class, and it's definitely a lot harder than it already looks!!
