This is one of my FAVORITE videos–Santo Rico is amazing. I had the pleasure of taking a class with them in NY in August, and remain in total awe of the skill of these dancers. The video is of one of their rehearsals, and we see not only some of the fastest spins out there, but also some great body movement. Enjoy!!!
[Updated] Here is the song for those interested: Clasiqueando con Ruben by Afro Cuban All Star
Stumbling upon youtube videos again, one of our friends found this great performance by the Santo Rico dance team. I may not have mentioned them in a while, but here is a great find. They are some of the most amazing spinners you will ever see in performances throughout the world. One thing to notice, for us technical dancers, is that the men have a very unique prep that is circular, compared to the ‘double-J’ prep to lead multiple turns. Regardless, this is a must watch video for us looking for inspiration.
As a side-note, they also offer online salsa classes for a fee over at bailasociety.com
