Salsa Dancing Lesson #62! In this salsa dance lesson we show you a sneaky hammerlock hand trick that you can use at the salsa dance club to keep your dance moves fresh! It is performed by doing a reverse copa hammerlock, into a quick hand flip.
Enjoy the salsa dancing lesson!
The song used in this episode is called “El Cazanguero” by Ruben Blades. Please support the artist!
This salsa dance lesson video we teach you what is called the Salsa Swing step or the Lazy Turn. It is a small variation of the Lindy-Hop or Swing dance basic step adapted to salsa dancing. It is a great move to use when, as a leader, you are still thinking which set of dance patterns to perform next.
Now that Valentine’s Day is upon us we thought it would be appropriate to add some more salsa romance into our dance steps. A lot of our fans are couples who enjoy learning to salsa dance with each other – some have even met through salsa dancing! We hope that salsa dancing continues to bring romance to your relationship and enjoy this salsa dance video lesson! The major tip for the lesson is that adding musicality and style at the right moments can turn any great dance into a memorable one!
In this salsa dance lesson video, Anthony Persaud and Julie Merrill (addicted2salsa) teach you the reverse “around the world” salsa dancing move combination. This move was taught by one of our favorite salsa dancers from Australia, Oliver Pineda. Oliver, and his partner Luda, have been salsa dance champions at the World Salsa Dance Championships several years in a row in the On2 division. If you ever get an opportunity to take one of their Latin dance workshops, we highly recommend it. Check out their site @http://www.latinmotion.com.au/
Here is a great example on how amazing these dancers are:
“It’s the end of 2009, do you know where your salsa shoes have been?” If you’ve been a fan of the addicted2salsa audio shows, you’ll remember that was the intro line for our Latin Dance Cover Songs pt 1 show which aired ~3 years ago this day. Given the popularity of some of the songs featured, one of our addicted2salsa fans from Southport, England (UK), DJ Ivan Yokhna, sent us a few new Latin cover song remixes that he created. I have posted them below so that everyone can start helping build the Part 2 version of the episode.
Given the number of times we’ve been asked about the Lenny Kravitz salsa version of “Thinking of You” that was featured in Salsa Music Episode #22 , here is a present for all of you.
