This might be the best video teaching dancing I've ever seen. Honestly, more than I learned in 4 years of classes and festivals. That free style at the end was one of the smoothest dances I've seen with very simple turns and techniques.
Wow that means so much! So glad you've found it helpful Emile. Just trying to share some ideas that I've noticed and I don't see people explaining. Thanks for the compliment 🙏🏻 -Robin
@@thedancedojo Yeah you kinda made me wish I can buy your online classes, too bad I'm from Lebanon and can't really afford it. Free information here on TH-cam is still amazing though, I'm kinda binging your vids and really learning a lot of things I could do but never thought of. Great work.
Robin, that was Hot! You are right the average person are not going to know advanced moves, but if I learn what you guys did, I ll be the man! I m just speechless with you guys. Awesome stuff. I m 48 years old but I never knew how to dance Salsa but know I m more eager to learn to widen my varieties and not be limited...
Thanks Ernesto! glad each video can open your eyes a little more and show you something new. It's all about the mentality and approach. Keep at it and have fun! -Robin
@@thedancedojo: De nada, Robin. :) The main difference is that this channel uses an intelligent approach to dancing, by adding simple moves at a time, instead of teaching long sequences. I've been asking this from my teachers, to no avail. They actually think teaching sequences is a good idea. I hate to dance sequences in social dancing, it bores me to death.
love that you're enjoying it! be consistent in your practice and find good teachers and you will get as good as you want to be ! here if i can help you with anthing. - robin
So beauriful and smooth I wish ypu were my teacher. Salsa on 2 is the onev i learned in the Doninican Republic. They are very limited and not educated unfortunately soooo i chose you to follow.

Feeling the progress you want is completely a matter of process + knowledge. If you have the knowledge available to you from a in-person instructor or online course, then it's just about putting it into practice in the right formula. Keep at it and thanks so much for the support! So appreciated 🙏 -Robin
Awesome presentation and Robin, you are a master at breaking everything down in an easy to understand format. At first I was so intimidated by the "bouncy hands" but, now, thanks to your excellent oratory skills, it's not as difficult as I thought. Thanks for all you do helping us to become better dancers. 👍👍
Wow great video! Even if my level is far from that one, I really enjoy watching it and listening to your explanation which always teaches me something deep & interesting. And now also Robin appears as a dancer and comparing slight different styles between the two can help me check which move at each phase would be more easily realizable for the future. Many thanks!
Glad you found it interesting Testuro. I always appreciate your comments so thanks for sharing your impression and experience with the video. The fascinating part about salsa is how you can adjust something to make it very simple or very complex, but its root remains the same. 🙌 Thank you for watching! -Robin
Glad you liked it! It's a cross body lead variation called a Suave and we break it down in in our online course, in case you wanted to do a one week trial and learn it - thedancedojo.com. -Robin
The first check is on 3, it's a regular copa and I block her on the waist with my right hand. As her weight is shifting forward I step back on 5 and do the second check, blocking her by the hand and sending her backwards again.
@@thedancedojo Now I can understand the mechanics easily so thanks a lot! By the way even that description is what I always look for: concise and precise.:)
Nice one. I also like the fact that you left the video at the end with "mistakes". People need to learn also that even if the combo does not end how it was in your mind, that's not a problem as long as you have fun and take care of your partner. Keep up the good work :D
That was exactly my intention. I totally agree that we all need to get more comfortable (and less socially anxious) about making mistakes, including when we're having experiences with other people. It's totally natural and you just have to flip it in a fun way, and have a good attitude! Thanks for the comment and watching Bogdan! -Robin
Wow. Thank you for hsowin gus these two fun moves! Gonna totally use the bouncy hands, how they end with the slide down the same armpit, and the the fun check bounces of the feet. I also enjoyed 5:55
Hey KM, thanks. What is the part you struggle with for hand juggling so I better understand? Have you tried it before and you're not successful? Would love to hear more :) -Robin
Hi Robin Still I'm confused hiw to move hand and all. After seeing this vdo only I tried but it went wrong grrrrrrr... so if you can do slowly step by step I think everyone can learn n understand . Thnaks for the reply 💙
Hey Isaac, those are Mercury 2.0 LIteknit by Native Shoes. They're super light, not too grippy for dancing. You can dress em up or down. They're my go-to shoe. I wear them a lot in colombia because it's hot. They breathe well and they're great if you wanna get your feet wet. They dry fast and have antibacterial insoles so they don't stick if you're barefoot. Do casual hikes in them too. They're surprisingly durable and have never broke on me. I love Native shoes! -Robin www.nativeshoes.com/mercury-2-0-liteknit/211069194207.html?cgid=mens&idx=23
Nicely done practicing outside of class. It's so necessary! Unfortunately I only have time to support our paying online students via the FB group (thedancedojo.com). If I had all the time in the world I wouldn't mind at all :) -Robin
I love "salsa" and I love dancing "salsa" whether it be son, mambo, cha cha cha, guajira, pachanga, guaracha, guaguancó, casino, yambú, columbia, or whatever else there is that has been covered up by this horrible term "salsa". Of course, back in the day, the Cubans would also cover them up by using the term "rumba". So I'm old school, having been dancing "salsa" since the 1980's in NYC when, and where, I learned it from the very best. We were so lucky back then, because dancing "salsa" meant dancing in front of Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Johnny Pacheco, Eddie Palmieri, El Gran Combo, La Sonora Ponceña, etc, etc, etc, in the very best clubs of New York, and not dancing to a DJ, in a social, in a dance studio, like they (we) do today. We were so lucky back then, and I feel for the new generation of dancers who will never know what that was like. And back then dancing "salsa" meant turn patterns too, but mostly, especially for the best dancers, it meant footwork and body movement, while you were dancing with a partner. The footwork and body movement were what made the people watching you go "Wow!"; not the turn patterns, and certainly not the arms. But unfortunately, with so many "salsa" schools out there now, and so many wanting to turn their talent, be it large or small, into a source of income, a commodity, to be bought and sold on the "market", and when arms and turn patterns are the bread and butter of their "salsa" businesses, the "salsa" dance scene has been transformed entirely. And I'm not so sure that it's been for the better. But I'm a nobody, so who cares? In any case, when you can put this into your "salsa" you can say you've got it made: th-cam.com/video/Fsty4X2Blqc/w-d-xo.html
Always great to hear your voice here William. I've been noticing a general resurgence or growing interest in adding body movement back into the mix, especially afro-inspired movements. It's great to see and I hope things can shift back to not being completely move/turn pattern focused. The richness is in the body movement and musicality like you said. You're lucky to have experienced what you have! -Robin
@@thedancedojo Stay focused, you´re awesome. As a beginner it is kinda difficult to follow your instructions, but it´s great to see my future successes :) Thank you for that and best wishes to you.

You gotta go beyond youtube if you wanna see real progress. Let me know how it goes. -robin
Hey Jake, which move out of the two are you referring to? The first (bouncy hands) is actually easier than you might think once you're comfortable with it (the follow needs relaxed arms with elbows down). For the double check move the follow definitely needs a little more experience/technique to be able to react to the pressure you give her during those direction changes. It's a tough one as a follow. Sometimes they'll react to one and then not the second, but it's a great exercise to practice those checks with a partner to help her calibrate her ability to listen and react. Appreciate you watching man. -Robin
Dance Dojo that bouncy hands is led facing away- a degree of challenge the hands are led the first move almost blind she can’t see him she turn and has to follow his hands as he crosses across the slot to the other side- this is an advanced moved
@@jakemf1 You're totally right Jake, that first move where Patrick faces away from Scarlet to start the cross body lead and initiate the inside turn is advanced and that's why I didn't include it in the move I chose to add into my social dancing. That said, if the follow's technique is sound she should follow her frame. It doesn't matter where the lead is facing, if his arms direct her frame in a certain direction (initiating an inside turn, for example) her job is to follow it. Of course, this takes calibration and practice. As humans, we rely so much on vision to guide us and that's why it's so important to first learn the foundation of a move (and how it's lead/followed via the frame) because although the variation may look different (and feel slightly different) the foundation of how the follow's frame is affected is going to remain, which the follow must recognize. -Robin
jakemf1 The first move (if you do the version that Robin shows not the Patrick version) is actually not that tough for follower as lead is mostly in control. The move is mostly an illusion arm play with the arms going up and down with just one turn for guy plus a half pivot. Honestly the only hard part (and a very important part) is making sure you don’t elbow the follower in the head haha.
How do you go about adding moves to your social dancing? Which one of these moves are you going to try? Thanks for watching guys! -Robin
I will try all of them
@@Argestos Awesome! Have fun and good luck -Robin

As humans, we rely so much on vision to guide us and that's why it's so important to first learn the foundation of a move (and how it's lead/followed via the frame) because although the variation may look different (and feel slightly different) the foundation of how the follow's frame is affected is going to remain, which the follow must recognize. -Robin
jakemf1 The first move (if you do the version that Robin shows not the Patrick version) is actually not that tough for follower as lead is mostly in control. The move is mostly an illusion arm play with the arms going up and down with just one turn for guy plus a half pivot. Honestly the only hard part (and a very important part) is making sure you don’t elbow the follower in the head haha.

That's no salsa. It's false.
Look to Eddie Torres.
