Since we have had several requests lately for instruction on dips, I though I would provide some female perspective. I asked some fellow salseras, and this is what I found.
Our favorite kind of dip is a small one at the end of a song. By small, I mean the guys bring us into dipping position and we lean back slightly, but it looks more like a perpendicular hug, as seen in the picture to the left. This is an elegant ending to a nice dance.
On Friday, June 27th a new dance show premieres on ABC! It’s called Dance Machine, and we’ll get to watch six contestants break out their favorite dance moves, trying to make their way to the top. A prize of $100,000 is up for grabs, plus the title of “Dance Machine”.
Who are the contestants, you ask? Are they ’stars’, trying to quickly learn a new ballroom dance? No. The fascinating part of this show is that we are watching regular people just do what they love to do on the dance floor.
The host is Jason Kennedy, who you may recognize from E! Entertainment. Tune in to abc on Friday, June 27th at 7/8c for the season premiere of Dance Machine!
YouTube finally made public the new features we had been testing a few weeks ago: Annotations. I believe this feature adds a tremendous amount of value to dancers viewing salsa videos.
Now, after we upload a video, we can provide additional points of information such as song name being heard, extra salsa dance tips, and my personal comments. I have tried it out on a few videos, such as the Complex Salsa Dance Move.
If you can, watch the video again on the YouTube page and let me know what you think of the annotations feature - and any ideas on how we could use this feature to improve our videos.
Since we added our first salsa dance videos on YouTube, there have been various questions and mistakes (specifically the earlier ones) and I plan to correct those while providing some additional valuable tips. So who knows - you might find something new in those old videos! Enjoy!
I finally started recovering from our trip to the 10th Annual Los Angeles Salsa Congress. While the event gets various mixed reviews this year, one workshop session I personally enjoyed was by the famous pair, the on2 World Salsa Champions: Oliver and Luda. For those who may not have known about their amazing dance skills, I posted a video below of, what I consider one of their best choreographies. They have won first place every year since 2005 at the World Salsa Championships. This performance shows how sharp yet smooth technical skill, amazing musicality in choreography and their ability to inspire future performers. The Australia salsa scene is lucky to have this amazing pair.
