You've got the best salsa videos.

[apersaud]

You might want to check out our newer ones. I think they are better than these VERY old ones.

im pretty new at this so forgive me for asking but then, why diesnt he ever count on 4 and 8?????

[apersaud]

4 and 8 are pauses in the music.

[Path2Insanity]

excellent explaining of the marching, I stood in on a beginners class and the instructor never explained why the guys kept stepping on the women on the turns(they were not supposed to move forward or back on that move). I wish this video wassent so hard to find.

[apersaud]

if you have a website, you can embed it so others can find it. :-) Thanks for your compliments!

[IcyPhoenixOfMist]

maybe you get confused with the counts...

You need to feel the rhythm like in all latin dances; but if you don't got the instinct for that, you can practice it with counting

note as he counts in the video: "1...2...3... 5...6...7..."

so actually, it's measured in 8 counts, but why they aren't counted, is because they count as breaks

so you got: "1...2...3...break...5...6...7­...break"

in these breaks, you never move in salsa ;)

hop it helped you ^^

salsa on 2 is better then this. lmao

Now THAT'S how you give dance instructions! So many of the instructional videos on YT only show the moves but don't give counts or directions as to where foot and hand placements should be. Thanks for being so precise!

Thank you for the video. I'm Cuban, I can't dance, and something must be done about it.

[feelofairisgood]

lmfao, i have trouble on basic counts! im a guy.

[montelka]

who counts when dancing??? Just dance and improvise!

[RashnUniverse]

loved your lessons, committing to myself to practice these steps everyday at least for a month to clear my basic level. thansk for explaining steps with body movements so well.

@apersaud I actually think this video is better than the other intro one...you left the pauses on 4 and 8 intact in this video, but in the other one, it looked like the pauses were being left out when you did the full speed demo...the pattern was different than what you explained. Is there something that I'm not understanding? In the other video, it looked like you were dancing to a song in 4/4 time but accounting for only 6 beats and not 8.

I'm watching people on the dance floor do this and I'm like "What the?" But your videos are crazy helpful! I'm sure it can be a lot more challenging to master it, but this is perfect just to get the basics down. And hey, when you look like a rookie, your date can always laugh, and laughter is a sign of a good time!
