    Great tips, I'm a weightlifter and just decided to get into salsa classes for the cardio. I look even more awkward as a built guy dancing around but so far I'm loving it.

  • @nunitoism
    @nunitoism 7 ปีที่แล้ว +210

    Guys to look natural dancing salsa, really the first and most important rule is to LISTEN to the music and actually ENJOY it. See where the music changes, gets more intense, starts the chorus, other percussion instruments join in, etc. You need to be sensitive to that, and to let your body flow with it. Otherwise, even with these tips, you will still end up looking mechanical. Many non-latino salsa students tend to become salsa-bots, and that ain't good. Learn to appreciate the music first.

    • @flamencotimes6339
      @flamencotimes6339 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It's a language thing. Spanish/Latin is more emotionally embracing. When people learn to convey the emotion of the situation creatively in their dance, and not just in their head, they can can can, and a cha, cha, cha :)

  • @stefanoagostini_com
    @stefanoagostini_com 8 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    This video is very well done, it's much better compared to many others because it gives the necessary explanation of what is needed to correctly study the basic step, a fundamental technique which is, usually, not well teached. Who says it is too long doesn't care about beginners or doesn't know what salsa is.

  • @kollikainen1
    @kollikainen1 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This video is very useful for a person, who has already taken a beginners class in salsa. It´s very difficult to handle all the information at the beginning, but with a help with this information clip it does let the beginner understand more about dancing salsa. I like it very much! :)

  • @randolfoserrano2870
    @randolfoserrano2870 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the best salsa class you’ll ever have. It gives you, without the turning and twisting that others try to teach, the salsa moves as I’ve know them from the 80’s, when this dance became so popular.

  • @magictee33
    @magictee33 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's been such a pleasure to find addicted2salsa, I watch the videos everyday. Im a salsa lover since I was five years old. I know how to dance salsa, but I needed to know the technique by details, as Im focused to become a dance instructor. Anthony is great teaching, I have learned a lot from him. Just love your classes!

  • @jeffdishong7095

    You have done an awesome job of explaining this! I salsa, cumbias, bachatas blah blah blah lol, and have for a long time here en las cruces. Took me a minute to get to the next level bc I didn’t have someone to lay it out how you do in this vid!! Thank you for helping everybody my friend!!

  • @addicted2salsa
    @addicted2salsa  11 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    Freddy Ramos "Letting yourself go and enjoy with the music" means you can create any conversation you want with your partner. The salsa dance steps provide the vocabulary and "grammar rules" so you both can understand each other - otherwise if the lead only spoke English and their partner only understood French, it would be a very difficult romantic conversation.

    • @fasteddie9055
      @fasteddie9055 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well said, Fred. I m a Shine the Beltbuckle person. But, that s only when I with my honey. I mix that with some on the 2 mambo steps and a few turns. This turn business is out of control and they dance like trained robots. They stick out on the floor like sore thumbs. However, it s all good. It keeps the salsa music alive and well.

    Moving the arms from the elbows, rather than the hands made an immediate difference in my styling. Also moving the feet past one another rather than in place also improved the look of my basic. All in less than 5 min!!!! Great tips...Thanks!!!

Thank you Anthony!!

I click this video and eat my ice cream and as I go on eating my icecream , were 5min in to the video and I've already learned so much! Thanks my man, you're the man. Voy a comenzar a bailar para poder ir a mas fiestas con extra confidencia con estos pasos tan chevere

    @ShadowX114 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with Frivillig. At first, it will be hard because it's out of your comfort zone but eventually, you will feel at ease and you will wish you have started earlier.
    that was my case. I was too nervous during my first few classes but now I'm at "intermediate 1" and I'm always impatiently waiting for my next class. I wish I have started 2 years ago, when I first had the idea but was too shy to do so

  • @Roberto-lb5or
    @Roberto-lb5or 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I learned to dance salsa music in this way. I just want to say (being respectful) the only way to look natural is to feel the music. It's listen to the music with the heart! Having the guaganco and the clave in the blood!

  • @Wclifford7
    @Wclifford7 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The biggest problem newcomers to salsa dance have is when to step to the salsa music. Use a clave in your hand and beat it as you step, so your viewers learn to hear and step in time with the proper beat of instruments .This gives the dancer a better feel for the instruments in the music and the body follows in the rhythm. Good work.. keep dancing. Any video with shines/steps on 4 & 8 beats?

    BrekOnTwo is a salsa timing. You can dance salsa on1, on2, on clave, on BrekOnTwo.. or on whatever you want.. if you know what you are doing.
    BrekOnTwo was invented by Eddie Torres, in new york.. I think in the early '70. The scope was to teach people used to dance on1; to dance on 2! That is an harder thing for a nordamerican or for an european.
    You move your first step (left) on 1, and the second step (right) on 2. Doing this your right feet is on the same place of a dancer that started on 2.

    @bugtest The counts 4 and 8 are considered pauses in the steps. It is general convention to only count the numbers which actually have steps to them. We have a beginner video that explains the basics.

  • @DancinFool
    @DancinFool 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kevin Rameau, 4 and 8 are rests. You can count 1,2,3, 5,6,7 or like I learned.. 123and567and....I like this video. One simple thing makes it great is the white shoes on the dark floor. Very easy to follow.

      it's the same for women except you reverse the feet and direction of the step. The partner would step backward with the right on the 1 where he steps forward with the left, etc. The rest is identical and applies the same

    • @saggiteightyfour8367

    Stepping slightly back on TWO as he explains it is actually in accurate. You don't step back on TWO, you actually ROCK BACK on TWO in the same general area. It is the same for the second half of the BASIC step, you ROCK FORWARD on Six. He does make some good points on some things. This video is actually decent. People can learn from this video.

    Now , 8:37 - Salsa teachers often explain this "natural arm movement".
    But that fits to natural going movement - forward action with transport and taking the heels for walking .Salsa Dancing has nothing to do with that . Forward and backward !! motion and sometimes every step toe heel or flat. But never as natural going !! So you cannot argue that it looks more natural by practicing natural arm movement . And indeed that complete action we see here looks a little unnatural !
    But averall we like your videos - nice guy with very well teaching .

    Good job, Anthony. If only beginners bothered to find such videos, they would greatly appreciate it.
    As a late-intermediate / early-advanced salsero myself I'm looking at this clip as a collection of awkward movements I often see in beginners' classes. This bounce is so ubiquitous... :-) I'd love to look back at my beginnings (I don't have them recorded) to see if I did that too :-P.
    One question - my English isn't perfect, so could you please tell me what A. says @ 4:23 (is it "staggered"?)?

    This man is a great teacher - so natural and smooth! can a lady follow this instruction with using opposite feet to get a feel for the step with staggered feet and a more natural gliding feel? thanks.

    @twopaddles1 the four is silent because it's a pause. technically it's a count from 1-8 so 1,2,3 pause,5,6,7 pause the four and eight are silent pauses we count this way to remember to pause.
