The Oliver Salsa Turn

Salsa Dancing LessonsIn 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:

Salsa Music Mondays : More Latin Cover Song Remixes

Salsa Cover Song Remixes - Beyonce and Duran Duran“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.

Which cover songs would you like to hear Salsa or Latin remixed versions of? Let us know in the comments!
