- Can't find the beat? This video goes over basic exercises that will help you improve your rhythm and timing.
Learning any dance is predicated on a student having a sense of timing, and it is much more difficult to pick up steps and figures if your mind and ear are trying to work how to pick up the rhythm on TOP of coordinating your body with it!
Even in a beginner class, the person next to you could have been taking ballet, tap, and jazz for half their life where someone else could play musical instruments, and yet another person might have just LISTENED to a lot of music... either way, their EAR is trained (either actively or passively) to understand some basics of rhythm and music - this video will catch you up :)
This video is geared towards Cuban dance, but the ear training is good for most anyone looking to improve their rhythm and sense of timing.

LOVED THE INTRO!!! Especially the turquoise towel. Good one. I was too distracted after it. Lol. On a serious note, great video.
Your vidéo is so fun and educative , stand out from others . I FOLLOW .
🙏
I love your ending "It's time to end this nightmare, cute camera transitions and shit..."
Ha! Thanks... I think I said "edit"... the red numbers changing every beat was a nightmare, but hopefully a useful video for those who need a little help with rhythm.
I love Palo, and now I love you!!! OMG thank you from Lisbon, Portugal
I appreciate you watching 🙏
I cannot thank you enough for your channel brother. ¡Gracias de corazón!
Happy to hear you are enjoying the videos... it is my pleasure.
I honestly think that the director's job in these videos is very smart and funny! It could easily be a tv series!)) You know... cute camera transitions and shit!
He is for hire!
Muy buen tema! Very nice song.
A great little theory/counting lesson! Really glad to have found your channel (subscribed).
I appreciate you watching!
Very good done. Cheers. Have subscribed. I also feel a big respect that you do not call casino dance - cuban salsa.
Thanks! I usually include it to get people to find what they may be looking for with search results but one of the first missions is to get "casino" in their vocabulary :)
This video helped me understand the rhythm of the dance so much thanks man. Had no idea how to count the time before this. Pretty sure Im ready for the steps now.
Check out this playlist!

@@MessinaDance thank you, will check it out!
It really helps with the numbers on the screen lighting up. Thank you
I'm just glad I never have to do it again 😅🤣😂
Thanks for watching!
I found your channel and you do wonderful job. Keep it up🥇
I really appreciate it. If there are any particular topics you're interested in, please feel free to leave them in the comments!
@@MessinaDance Maybe about drills with partner, because I feel comfortable dancing solo but when I try with a girl who is less skilled in salsa I have problem with leading. I do too hard or too soft So she cant read my intentions
@@kar8226 Coming this way soon :)
@@MessinaDance I cant wait👌😀😀
Thanks for the explanation! For some strange reason, the contratiempo beats are so hard for me to get.
I am curious if the exercises will help. If you can mark atiempo with your foot, maybe tapping your heel, and clapping the contra, that may work... since the heel is a lower pitch, you'll be marking all the beats but emphasizing the contratiempo
one TWO three FOUR five SIX seven EIGHT.
@@MessinaDance Good idea! I will try that. Thanks!
Let me know if it helps. Will be making a separate video for contratiempo and atiempo timimgs.
@@blubei how is the contratiempo coming? Thinking of making it the next video :)
@@MessinaDance Your video helped a lot, but it seems still a bit of a challenge as the other beats just tend to overpower the contratiempo beats for me, especially when I am dancing.
I can hear it when my teacher counts it out, but trying to isolate it by myself is hard. I probably just need more practice and exposure to get more familiar with it.
Thanks for checking in! I was really surprised! I am using your videos to help me improve.
This is super helpful! Thank you
Thanks for saying so 🙏
I dont usually like videos, because I use Liked Videos to to be a list of videos that I wanna get back to later and I wanna keep the list short ( and I am a jerk lol ) - 48 secs into this video I still have no idea what he has to say but the way he delivered the video, the transitions I gotta give it to the man. You have my like, sir.
Thanks for the kind words... hope you enjoy it later:)
Nice job!
thanks!
merci
It's my pleasure
Excellent ! a little fast speaking for me but very good ;-)
Great video! I just wish you broke it down alittle more and made it easier to understand how you’re finding those beats.
Going to do a video with a different approach soon. Putting up one today for an afrocuban dance that identifies different instruments in the rhythm and release them to the steps, hope you will check it out.
Go a get robots to follow you...
You cannot teach soul or groove or flow. Its too complicated to explain why. You can get better at it. Let me say it again. You can improve at the simple pieces of timing. But if you can't feel the music in a way that is deep and soulful you never will.
