Hi my name is Robin and I'm no different than you. A few years ago I started learning salsa. After struggling for a while I found some great mentors and the rest is history. Now I travel the world dancing, teaming up with amazing teachers and creating Dance Dojo - the deeply detailed online dance lessons I wish I had when I started. My goal is to help as many of you reap the same rewards I've been lucky enough to experience through dance. Join me if you'd like to meet amazing new people, leave stress behind, connect to music in a whole new way and feel more alive. Life only gets more colourful - just take the first step.

How'd you guys do with finding the 1 in your first salsa song example? Would love to know how you're doing! -Robin
I've bounced off of social dance before because I couldn't make the leap from instinctual grooving to a beat to intentionally following it with choreography. I'm 35, and for the first time in my life I feel like I'm crossing this musicality barrier. Thank you!
That's amazing Ned! So excited for you. There's nothing better than a breakthrough like that. And thanks so much for the gift, it's truly appreciated and unexpected. -Robin
Amazing, after watching all video above in this list, I found i can catch beat one now!!!
Thanks very much
Congratulations!! Soo glad it helped you 😀🙏 -Robin
These videos are really helping!
🙏🙏🙏 awesome
Thanks
Thanks so much Sanjay, super appreciate the support!
Great tutorial, thanks!
you're welcome Axel! hope it helped -robin
I can find easily the "1". But it's strange that the YT channel "salsa beat machine" takes this song as an example for dancing on "2"
any song can be danced on any timing. maybe you feel it more on one timing than another but if someone tells you you cant dance it on a certain timing they're full of shit. -robin
This song is much easier ... this is thE 5th time I am watching all over ..I find some songs I still lag and not so confident .
The more practice you put in the better you'll understand. It takes time so keep at it you're doing great! -Robin
Would you call this cheating if I tell you I already know this song and listened to it many times before I started your course? :-) Except... I didn't find the 1 as easy as I do know. Using the knowledge I have gained through previous courses, I know what the 1 >> can be
I'd call it doing your homework 😉🙌🏽
Hola, could you please tell me some salsa song for beginners?
Here's a playlist of slow salsa music: open.spotify.com/playlist/4PsN1f7g21q2qO36YEHDrn?si=64e360dd19e248b7
Hello! I checked the supposed BPM of this song, and the tempo is supposed to be 82bpm. From your counting I guess you are using the double-time of 164bpm. When do you know which tempo you are supposed to use? Is it 164 because 82 would be too slow for Salsa dancing?
I got at first the slow tempo by myself (using the tap BPM webpage ;) ) and then got confused when I saw the speed of your counting...
Thanks for your videos!
Hey thanks, looks like you're right that the websites say it's 82bpm but from the sound of the instruments to me I hear the song at 164bpm. Honestly I'm not a musician so I'm not going to say what's right or wrong. If you try dancing it to 82bpm you'll see that it feels awkwardly slow. You'd never dance that speed in a social dance. So if a song is really that slow you would just dance to it at double time, a speed that feels more natural for salsa. -Robin
Hi @@thedancedojo,
Thanks for the quick reply! That does make sense, and the website I checked did mention that it's often used at double time for dancing :). Just a bit confusing for a beginner like me... Will need to repeat your videos a few more times to get the hang of it! - Alex
