Thank you for coming back to addicted2salsa.com for salsa dance videos. We are now back with a new salsa dance video. For this salsa dancing move, we wanted to challenge ourselves in chaining as many terms as we could together. Later we realized that it wouldn’t fit in the video show title. Enjoy!

In our never ending quest to make you better salsa dancers, we made this video to help show you how shines and footwork fit into regular salsa social dancing. We have gotten a lot of requests on shines and how they look when doing patterns. Jocelyn will show you a shine for ladies and Anthony will show you a shine for guys. Both shines will be put together in regular dancing. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

This video will show the ladies how to add dance styling to their salsa dancing basic turns. Jocelyn will explain how to add styling to the salsa right turn and the salsa left turn. This is the second part of hand and arm styling for salsa. The first part is episode 80 which you can find here:  http://addicted2salsa.com/videos/lesson/ladies-hand-styling-for-salsa-dancing

We have a great salsa lesson explaining hand and arm styling for the ladies for their salsa dancing. We are trying something new by doing a ‘zoomed-in’ view of the hands. Hopefully this gives the ladies more salsa movies and techniques to improve their dancing. The next lesson will focus on how to add hand and arm styling to turns.

This salsa dance lesson video will show you a few salsa dance moves that take a few of our salsa “wind themed” moves, like the windmill and cyclone bounce, to make a small quick pattern. For a more elaborate explanation of the Windmill salsa dance move, check out addicted2salsa episode #42. For a more detailed explanation of the Cyclone Bounce move, check out addicted2salsa episode #46. The song used is “Reflexiones” by Tito Rodriguez Jr.

Anthony Persaud and Jocelyn Rosero will teach you another intermediate salsa dancing move that will get you into a left sided hammerlock position. This salsa dance move is called “Pass Behind the Back” lock since you actually travel in similar fashion to performing a “Coca Cola Salsa” move with your partner, but end up on the ladies left slot size. From there, you can perform any of the other salsa dance combinations that you know. The song used in the video is “Guarare”.

This salsa dance video lesson will encourage you to add multiple spins in your salsa dance patterns. A lot of dance follows like spinning, and taking your regular moves and adding double or triple spins in them will make them seem ‘new’ and more complex. This simple pattern will have your follow doing a double spin followed by a third free spin in place.

Here is a short salsa dance pattern to get you gives you something different to do after a double handed in-n-out (copa) salsa dance move. After an in-n-out salsa move, you can keep both hands near the follow’s shoulder, and flick the hand into a hammerlock. From there, you can proceed with a simple reverse cross body lead. We called it “Patternito” as a play on the phrase of ‘Short Pattern’ because I ran out of creativity. Enjoy!

And now something for the ladies! This salsa dance video will provide the ladies a few styling tricks when social dancing with a good lead. Jocelyn will show the ladies how to take advantage of specific dance cues from your lead in order to perform clean salsa styling. Using this in your social dancing will help you enjoy playing with the instruments in a song much more enjoyable. As a note to leads, you do not have to fill in an entire song of back-to-back patterns. Always remember to leave some room for the ladies to style and enjoy the salsa song.

In this salsa dance lesson video, we teach you how to dance the famous DPS lock combo but on the New York / Puerto Rican “On2” timing. In addition, Jocelyn explains some of the dance styling that the ladies’ can perform even when they have both arms behind their back.

In honor of our 5 year anniversary since we started http://addicted2salsa.com on August 30th, 2005, we decided to teach you the short stride salsa combination move that has become very popular on YouTube. However, given that we have new fans that don’t dance On1, we are teaching it on the On2 (New York / Puerto Rican) timing. I’d like to also introduce our special guest addicted2salsa co-host, Jocelyn Rosero. See if you can spot her “wink” at the beginning of the video!

This salsa dance move is composed of doing a simple hand juggle (which looks like you are doing uppercuts when boxing) in front of the follow, then quickly leading a ladies’ left turn into a basic reverse slingshot. Take your time with the move at first so you don’t injure your partner! Enjoy!

This is a short reference video on how to perform the cross body lead 180 that we had shot previously. The video will take you through the steps on how to do the cross body lead 180 in salsa dancing for on1 counts. This salsa dance video is from Pocket Salsa: http://addicted2salsa.com/pocketsalsa

I realized that most salsa dancers are not doing enough footwork when social dancing! This quick video lesson will teach you the basic salsa slide footwork which is most commonly used by Puerto Rican band members as they sing at a live concert. (You can use it social dancing as well!).

This salsa dance video lesson will teach you how to dance the salsa cross body lead with turn. Using the “Cross Body Lead in Salsa Dancing” video, this will help you add a salsa left turn for the ladies in combination with a cross body lead. This reference video is from our salsa iPhone and iPod Touch app called Pocket Salsa.

This short salsa dance video will teach you how to do the basic salsa dip. Normally salsa dips are done in the end and are usually NOT recommended for crowded salsa dance night clubs.
