  • Actually, your feet never come together in a basic in any style of Salsa. Not On 1. Not On 2. Not in Cuban, or Miami style. An instructor may start teaching a basic with the feet coming together after a rock step, but when you're actually dancing it, they never come together.

  • They're actually teaching cuban style salsa or casino as its known in the US. "Dile que no" is their name for a cross body lead. "Enchufla" means to break back, give her a half left, then send her right back. You would normally hear all these calls during a rueda, which is why they have names so everyone in the circle know what to do and when.

  • ..Why does she count 4,5,6 when you only tap on 4 and only step on 5,6,and 7 ??

  • There's not exact definition of Guapeando there are different style! from Santiago de Cuba de do different than the Havana, as long you're in rhythm you're dancing!.

    I like to say that they are not wrong about their instruction, because they are very well qualified to teach us, That's a real Cuban dancing style we do call Casino!!

    Everything we do while we're dancing ( cuban style Salsa (casino) ( walking, turning, jump and so' is permitted as long you're in the rhythm!

    La bendicion!

  • Great stuff.

  • lol I love how you equalized Cuban style and Miami lol

  • Nope... LA Style is basically line dancing. A girl is ALWAYS on the straight line. Same with a guy, only he's allowed to "get off" the line to do a move...

    Plus, "rueda" is Spanish for "wheel" and that's what it is... Three or more couples dancing in a circle and one lead is calling the moves. You can do it with two couples as well...

    This is Cuban Style SALSA only, she's doing male steps and he... I really dunno what he's at...

    And she's counting "4". Which you don't, as it's null beat...

  • This is proper traditional Cuban style rueda. Im sorry to say you're mistaken. Perhaps you're confusing this with LA style.

  • she's doing male steps and he's doing female steps. And they both go forward at the same time. You don't do that. Ever. And guys always start on 1 with left. 5 is right... Vice versa for the girls. And 4 is null beat (same as 8). You don't count that...

  • She danced as if the floor was slippery

  • This is salsa rueda, no?

  • enchufala y que se vaya ... maria se fue!!! ajajaaj
