San Francisco Salsa Congress 2007 Jack and Jill Salsa Masters

Well, last year’s Jack and Jill contest at San Francisco Salsa Congress was just simply amazing! This year was even better! These people just stole the show. You just have to watch some of the best improvised performances anywhere in the US.

The first place winners this year were Milton Cobo and Masha. Of course, I’ve talked about Milton before, and this video just shows how slick and smooth he is (unbuttoning his shirt while giving a girl multiple spins). Now, or Masha – wow – I’ve never seen such great (yet subtle) footwork styling. You will be rewinding this video a few times in order to appreciate the details. Enjoy!

And for the other great very honorable mentions:

Junior and Emily in ‘Lord of the Spin’ (Salsa Dance)

Ok, now these are the cream of the crop of dancers. These are the famous Junior and Emily salsa dancers. This brother and sister duo are the winners on 2 of the 4th anuual San Francisco International Salsa Competition in 2005. I saw them perform at the PS Congress as well, and they are also excellent instructors – and man, SHE CAN SPIN. Other than Serena from Majesty In Motion, and Magna from Mambotribe, I think Emily is probably the best spinner – hands down. Its one of those videos, where if you weren’ t there to see them live, man, the video doesn’t even do it justice – but a lot of fun to watch. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who can do multiple spins on a dime.

Also, I think the dip at the end of the performance is my favorite dip ever!
