In salsa dancing, there is more than meets the eye. There are a lot of simple hand-tricks that help you perform a simple move, but still make it complicated to the average viewer.
Here is just a simple step (mainly for beginners) on how to perform the basic hand juggle at the night club. For best effect, make sure you add separation of the hands, and practice it making it fast but smooth.
So, here we are again with something short and simple just 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, this is a funny one I think. The name of this combo was given by our video grapher (Cedric Parlade) because everytime I taught the combo I would make a ‘boop’ sound similar to that one on the radars in submarines. If you would like to do the ‘boop’ sound, it is done on the counts of 1 and 5.
I usually use this combo to give me more time to think what move/combo I will be doing next - so basically I use it to stall. Good to have it in the salsa dance arsenal of moves.
We have been asked to do the basic step once again (with zoomed in) camera angles - so we decided to do it, and make it a ‘practice‘ with us video. So, I hope you enjoy the basic steps to salsa - reloaded.
We have also zoomed in to our feet so that you can see (along side the dirt on the floor) our footwork. I hope you use this episode so you can practice your basic step, over and over again. Remember, your basic step is your best friend on the dance floor when everything else fails.
We perform the basic step On1 and On2. We also show you the right turn On1.
