If you haven’t yet found out - we are hosting our first contest ever on the website in partnership with FOX and So You Think You Can Dance! You only have a few days left to submit your video. Remember, it just has to be a quick video with a dance pattern that you think people will like! You don’t need a fancy camera and you don’t need to explain the move. It’s that simple! It is something you can do at the end of a salsa dance class! Salsa, Cha Cha, Merengue, Salsaton.. anything goes. [Instructions]
In a salsa galaxy, far, far away… let’s just call it Iowa.
To show you an example of a quick video you could take, I have dug up one of the many videos from the very old ‘Salsa History Archives’ of Salsa Anthony version 1.0. This is a video of when I first started to learn how to dance in Ames, IA in a Salsa dance club I started with a few friends called ‘Descarga Latin Dance‘. While I will let you laugh at my XL-clothing attire and ‘boots for dance shoes’ - I hope it shows everyone that with hard work, you can grow your dancing abilities little by little: ANYONE CAN DANCE SALSA. We all go through the same growing pains. Hopefully this serves as inspiration to a few of you out there.
I expect a few funny commentaries or captions below. ![]()








Is a nice move I haven’t done yet. Should see several people put some videos in as entries to the competition now hopefully. Will let the others have first crack at cheeky comments!
Luckily for the world your fashion sense grew as quickly as your dancing skill has!
And I think you loose your weight either!
But seriously it’s great to see how you evolved since those old videos!
Big up!
Anthony - have you thought of uploading a range of videos describing moves at various levels (in terms more of beginner-intermediate level?). If you’ve got more videos from Anthony v1.0, it’d be fun to see them. (I must not be on top learning form, as still trying to get my head round breaking the move down to learn it). Cheers!
“More from Anthony v1.0″… haha! You don’t want to see the Anthony version .05beta - even worse clothing selection.
In that video it looks like I’m wearing a dress-for-a-shirt. YUCK! Thank goodness for Express for Men and Guess. What cool clothing stores do they have overseas for salseros/salseras?
