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.
