A couple years ago, I hit a point where I felt like I was in a rut with my salsa. I've taken a lot of hip hop, jazz, and modern classes, but mostly modern. It is much more technical and physically rigorous and has given me much great strength and control. I feel a lot more secure and balanced and this has really enhanced my salsa dancing. It's also introduced me to a much broader world of dance. I couldn’t agree more! A couple years ago, I hit a point where I felt like I was in a rut with my salsa.

I started with salsa and went on to take classes in ceroc, ballroom (both standard and Latin), Argentine tango, and West coast swing. When I went back to salsa, my partnering skills and ability to learn and follow complicated patterns were much better than they had been before. I don't know hip-hop dance beyond what I've picked up from music videos and tutorials on Youtube, but I really want to learn it and apply it to salsa. I've used salsa moves when dancing freestyle to hip-hop music and need something extra to do with my feet. I agree!

I have a good hip hop background. At first I didn't know that I could use by dancing background to improve my salsa. But one day, I saw one of my salsa teacher busting a particular hip hop move in is salsa choreography in a special night. I said "hey, what you did was a hip hop move". He said "yeah, you can put anything you want in salsa". That day was a revelation to me. Beside what Anthony said, I will add that hip hop greatly add to your solo skill in salsa. It help you made sharp moves AND smooth moves. Of course I don't dance hip hop on salsa, I just incorporate a LOT of body movements and let me interpreted the music easily. In conclusion, learning other dances greatly improve what I call ypur "salsa signature" (style if you prefer) I totally agree. I have a good hip hop background.

Was just there doing my tango thing, though not nearly as good or as crazy fast as that dude in this tango video. That was cool to see you helping that fellow with his Salsa. I saw you dancing at Ole last week, and you've got some insanely good shoulder isolations. I guess that's just another thing that adds to your 'flare'. Hey Pauline, nice to see you too.

I see it in you! Whatta surprised running into you in the back studio of stage 7 that other night. You could probably teach me quite a bit in those ballroom ones. I just learned bolero for the first time this week, sooooo much fun! Love it. I see it in you! Whatta surprised running into you in the back studio of stage 7 that other night.
