Thanks for everyone for entering and supporting Addicted2Salsa. We will have more contests in the future – stay tuned!
To celebrate Anthony’s 28th birthday on February 10th, 2009, Addicted2Salsa has decided to offer a DVD to a randomly selected contestant. To enter the contest, you must have a valid email and postal address (where we can ship the DVD). All you have to do is leave ONE comment below. The comment doesn’t matter (it can be a simple ‘Happy Birthday Anthony!’). Only one entry per person. Addicted2Salsa will be mailing the prize DVDs to the winners. We will be selecting TWO winners in this contest!
For our first lucky winner, we are giving away the famous Magna Gopal Spins DVD (region 1) that helps both men and women improve on spinning! This DVD is helpful for dancers of all levels to increase stability, balance, and achieve overall better spinning technique. Magna is an excellent instructor, who breaks down concepts very well and makes her teachings easy for all to understand. This is a DVD everyone must have in their collection.
The second randomly selected winner will win the Hacha y Machete Intermediate Patterns Vol 1 DVD (Region 1). If you love complicated dance patterns and want to learn how to do a bit of styling like Burju – this is the DVD for you! (And of course, if you win it, its FREE).
The contest ends February 10th, 2009 at 11:59pm CST. The TWO winners will be announced on February 12th, 2009. Good luck to everyone!

Well, after getting great feedback from all of you, here it is – a more complicated salsa pattern. It is a very long pattern, so take it in strides and small bites. We have named the individual moves to help you piece the entire salsa combination together. Now, because it is Valentine’s Day (soon) – you can have something to practice with that special someone 
.Enjoy and if you have questions, please ask it at our forums http://addicted2salsa.com/facebook/ !
The song used in the episode is “Philadelphia Mambo” by Los Gatos (originally by Tito Puente)
So, here we are again with a simple salsa dancing move for you to mix it in to your other moves. Remember, it is not about having multiple long combos, but about putting smaller ones together in different orders. That will keep your moves fresh and keep the ladies guessing what you will do next. Additionally, for those who are thinking about on2, I make a small note for you to pay attention to the counting rhythm when performing the move. Enjoy!

Well, got a chance to take a break from work and went to the Al Liquid Silver Summer Salsa Splash 2007 event in Palm Springs, California. Met lots of great people, especially Allan from Nuevotec Productions who has more videos from the event.
With that said, most of the comments I got were: “I like your YouTube videos“. And I realized that the way I danced in those videos is way to old. So, thanks to Allan, he captured me dancing with the wonderful Jennifer Stein from Majesty In Motion Dance Co. Enjoy!
What’s the sweeter bonus? A weekend in beautiful Palm Springs, CA? Or a salsa congress and bootcamp in the 2007 Salsa Summer Splash? Maybe it’s a draw. Regardless, I had a great time at the event. Palm Springs gets very crowded with salseros in the months of July and August. Al Espinoza’s event somehow pulls a large following, despite the fact that his party is the third event (in 8 weeks) in the desert oasis. Both the workshop/bootcamp portion and the performances/parties were well attended. Want a reggaeton class? Check. Bachata or salsa shines? Yup. I’m trying to recall if there was a zouk workshop. Wanna talk about some great instructors? John Narvaez and Liz Rojas from Salsamania taught an intermediate/advanced on2 pattern class. The bay area team broke down the pattern thoroughly, and even split the class between guys and girls to get their respective pieces down. John also took some time outside of the class to help me with a difficult section. Anthony and I really enjoyed the session.
In addition to meeting Sir Anthony Persaud of San Diego for the first time, I met Pauline (Miss Flare), Karlos, and a bunch of other salseros from the Bay Area, LA, San Diego, etc. Great company. On the performance tip, they started pretty close to their scheduled time, within a half hour. Some of the standout routines included Majesty in Motion, John Narvaez and Liz Rojas, Pretty Boys and Girls, Salsabor y Cache. Click on some of the images below for a sampling of the videos. Thanks to Anthony for doing the interview with Dave Stein and Majesty in Motion. Keep the podcast going for the community! Continue reading ‘Nuevotec Salsa Summer Splash 2007 Video Dance Review’
