I received this video from our friends over in France. They decided to make the “Addicted2Salsa ‘the first real episode’”. It stars a French version of me and Stephanie Kadlicko (my partner in the VERY early episodes of Addicted2Salsa videos). They add a kung-fu/karate moves to the basic step. Something fun to watch.
If you didn’t know, I love people with a great sense of humor (even if it is at my expense). If you want to make fun of any of my videos (or my dancing) feel free - trust me, I’ll love it.
Lastly, I do not know French as well as I would like. Therefore, if anyone can send me a translation of the spoken script - I would much enjoy it very much! I did love their quote in the video which reads:
“C’est en faisant n’importe quoi que l’on devient n’importe qui” which means “In doing anything, one becomes anybody”. (or someone can correct my French translation if I have it wrong.
Hi,
I’m one of the guy on the video (the one playing you :P)
“C’est en faisant n’importe quoi que l’on devient n’importe qui” is actually the motto of Rémi Gaillard, a french guy who makes some deeply funny videos.
You can check his videos on his website : http://www.nimportequi.com
His motto is a pun, which is hardly translatable in english, but your translation is quite correct.
And Setha (the other guy on the video) just borrowed it from him.
I can help you with the script of the video, a little bit later.

Fun video
Just as a tangent to it, has anyone done salsa with props?
I saw this nugget of awesomeness (i’m a fan of dance to mashed up tunes)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2vTXMQ0sHY and wondered if anyone had choreographed anything? Something breaking out of single partner dancing, but more flexible in shape and form than la rueda? (muchos spices ftw? ).
it comes off the back of the observation that mini-la rueda’s aren’t always seen - there could be some interesting possibilies dance wise, if you started to have a much more flexible vision of a salsa dance?

Hi ! I’m Anthony
2
00:00:36,500 –> 00:00:39,000
Hi ! I’m Stéphanie
3
00:00:43,700 –> 00:00:48,500
Bonjour ,nous allons aujourd’hui vous présenter une nouvelle passe.
4
00:00:48,500 –> 00:00:50,500
Cette passe, on l’a intitulé :
5
00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:52,500
“Une passe Congo avec Kick”
6
00:00:53,500 –> 00:00:58,000
Pour présenter la chose, nous allons commencer par un pas de base.
7
00:01:06,500 –> 00:01:09,500
Nous allons effectuer un Cross Body avec un Kick.
8
00:01:09,500 –> 00:01:12,660
Notez bien comment va se placer ma jambe droite.
9
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:19,000
Pour aider le déplacement de la danseuse,
10
00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:21,500
j’effectue un Kick sur ses fesses.
11
00:01:21,500 –> 00:01:23,500
Nous allons maintenant effectuer un Break.
12
00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:27,500
Puisque la danseuse a été maltraitée,
13
00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:29,500
elle inverse les rôles.
14
00:01:29,500 –> 00:01:31,500
Ouverture des bras,
15
00:01:31,500 –> 00:01:34,000
et nous nous vengeons sur notre partenaire.
16
00:01:36,500 –> 00:01:39,000
2, un coup sur l’estomac et 3 on le fini.
17
00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:42,000
Mais un partenaire ne reste jamais au sol !
18
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:54,500
Maintenant que les deux partenaires sont séparés,
19
00:01:54,500 –> 00:01:56,000
nous allons pouvoir effectuer un Shine
20
00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:58,500
pour lequelle chacun va briller séparément.
21
00:02:03,500 –> 00:02:05,500
Le partenaire étant désorienté,
22
00:02:05,500 –> 00:02:08,500
il ne faut pas hésiter a bouger exagérément la tête.
23
00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:15,000
La danseuse le récupère.
24
00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:17,500
Mais le cavalier est de dos.
25
00:02:17,500 –> 00:02:19,500
Il faut le récupéré de face.
26
00:02:19,500 –> 00:02:24,000
Pour cela, nous allons lui imprégner un mouvement de rotation,
27
00:02:24,000 –> 00:02:26,000
puisqu’il n’a pas l’habitude a être guidé,
28
00:02:29,500 –> 00:02:30,500
qu’on bloque.
29
00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:32,200
A partir du moment ou on bloque,
30
00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:35,000
on va faire tourner le partenaire pour le retrouver de face.
31
00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:40,500
Puisqu’on l’adore,
32
00:02:40,500 –> 00:02:43,000
on lui fait un geste affectueux.
