- This video goes over the basic rhythm of any "salsa" music, breaking down the clave, drums, and bass played in a typical son montuno (the rhythm that defines any music called "salsa"), then shows the cadence of how a dancer steps to the music, and unifies all these elements with the count (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) This specific video is focused on dancing on the 1 / atiempo, but the fundamentals of the music and cadence are true for any count.
WARM-UP STEPS
Set 1
• 2-step
• paso de son
• back rocks
• back crosses
• walk & pivot
Set 2
• forward and back
• side step
Set 3
• traveling forward and back
• side crosses
• side crosses with pivot
• around the clock / cross in front
The last portion of the video shows the warm-up we do in all our casino classes. The steps emphasize movement and proper weight transfer that are applicable to dancing all styles.
This is the video I NEEDED😭 Thank you so much for explaining it so well! Will defo be coming back to this video regularly!

You're just what I was looking for! Aprendi a bailar salsa como todo caraqueño, i.e. en el autobus y baile ballet de pequeña. The fact that you're Italian and Cuban are the cherry on top!
I only get half credit on that one... 😂
Papito esa es la major mezcla, su servidora lo comprueba. Tas claro. Modestia aparte y que le duela a quien le duela.
very helpful. excellent break down. thank you!
Sigh...I’m one of those people who has tried to dance...flamenco, tango, and salsa intuitively, feeling the music. I appreciate how you break down the music beats and count in your beats. Very helpful! 🤩
Thank you so much for the kind words
I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Vicente Andrew Instablaster =)
@Finley Jabari I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Finley Jabari it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Great break down, thanks man
Great video
Would you explain how you dance on one 1 with 2/3 clave? It suppose to be 3/2 clave for dancers on1 and 2/3 clave for dancers on 2.thank you
We dance to numbers and Cubans dance to sound
Could you explain how dancing on3 would go? Have always been confused on this. :(
I'm working on a video SPECIFICALLY about dancing on 3... stay tuned!
