Very, excellent
Appreciate the kind comment :)
It was great ❤😂🎉
Thanks so much
It really is, I know quite a lot but when I social dance 🕺 everything just disappears and I end up marching on the spit for 2 mins to a lot of confused ladies lol
Keeping a list of things you can do from different starting positions is an amazing tip.
It definitely helped me! Glad you appreciated it :)
Great tips!!! I agree, the clever dance move names really help.
Glad you liked them!
insight full as always!
Thank you! Did you think of others ways that might help maestro?
@@DancerUniversity sometimes people get caught in the moves & forget to enjoy themselves! The mind is a always a muscle and if you’re thinking of too many things you burn yourself out
Lots of salsa moves are in Spanish. For example, "dile que no" (crossbody lead) or the "medio sombrero" (a type of salsa wrap turn). The "sesenta" (60) and the "setenta" (70) are other salsa wrap combos that are used especially in "rueda" (wheel) salsa. The side step breaks in salsa are sometimes called "cucarachas" (pressure steps - actually means "cockroaches").
And don't forget terms like the "el bajo", "tumbao", "montuno", "son", "clave", "coro", "puente", "pregon". These are salsa music Spanish terms that will help you "dance" to the actual salsa you are doing. That's how you get the "el ritmo" (rhythm), whether you do salsa "on 1", or "on 2", or whatever.
"el pregon" is the part of the highest energy given to a salsa song you dance to. Usually near the end of a salsa song, but it can also happen in the beginning or even in the middle of it. It means "complaint" or "gripe", and it is the part of the "response" by the salsa singer ("sonero/a") after the "la llamada" (call) by the chorus. "El Cantante" by Hector LaVoe is a good example.
"medio sombrero" means roughly "half of a hat".
Totally! I'm based in LA and we mainly dance On 1. I appreciate that Casino/ Rueda has names for moves. It definitely helps you recall.
