YouTube, distributors of the highly popular salsa dance instructional videos of addicted2salsa, have launched a new music feature on their website! The new website feature allows you to type a salsa artist or song, and create a salsa music video playlist with videos that are related to that particular artist or song. This new feature is very similar to Pandora (no, not the Avatar type), where you can create a ‘music radio’ station based on artists that sound similar to a song or another artist.
This is a great way to visually discover new salsa songs and artists! Enjoy!

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.
Continuing last week’s article of Latin cover song remixes, here is more popular remix that is now being used by many salsa choreographers in their performances. This song mixes the famous Coldplay “The Clocks” with the cha-cha-like style of the Buena Vista Social Club.
The great folks over at themamboscene.com made a salsa music show for all salsa fans to enjoy during the Holidays. It includes a good selection of salsa songs with “Latin” Christmas themes by famous artists. I have embedded part 1 of their show, but make sure you check out part 2 on their page. Enjoy!
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:
