Salsa Dancing Lesson #62! In this salsa dance lesson we show you a sneaky hammerlock hand trick that you can use at the salsa dance club to keep your dance moves fresh! It is performed by doing a reverse copa hammerlock, into a quick hand flip. The song used in this lesson is “El Cazanguero” by Ruben Blades. Enjoy the salsa dancing lesson!

This salsa dance lesson video we teach you what is called the Salsa Swing step or the Lazy Turn. It is a small variation of the Lindy-Hop or Swing dance basic step adapted to salsa dancing. It is a great move to use when, as a leader, you are still thinking which set of dance patterns to perform next.

The major tip for the lesson is that adding musicality and style at the right moments can turn any great dance into a memorable one!

In this salsa dance lesson video, Anthony Persaud and Julie Merrill (addicted2salsa) teach you the reverse “around the world” salsa dancing move combination. This move was taught by one of our favorite salsa dancers from Australia, Oliver Pineda, at the West Coast Salsa Dance Congress 2008. Oliver, and his partner Luda, have been salsa dance champions at the World Salsa Dance Championships several years in a row in the On2 division. If you ever get an opportunity to take one of their Latin dance workshops, we highly recommend it. Check out their site at http://www.latinmotion.com.au/

This salsa dancing video teaches you how to perform a simple Latin knot combination. Knot combinations are not hard, they just need to be executed with precision in order to not get tangled up in each others arms, unless that was your master plan all along!

We’d like to thank a new sponsor to our show, Burju Dance Shoes. Victor and Burju are the famous dancers from the company “Hacha y Machete”. Be sure to check out her shoe collection, it is what Julie wears social dancing.

This week in salsa dancing, we are going back to salsa dance basics and teaching you a salsa dance beginner cuddle wrap combination into a copa (in-and-out) and cross body lead 180. Since this is a intermediate move and we have done other salsa dance lesson videos on the copa and the cross body lead 180. Enjoy!

The song is called “Yambú Para Gozar” by Ismael Miranda

This advanced salsa dance video lesson will teach you how to perform short but intricate pattern that we call the cross body lead flick lock combo. It is based on the original DPS lock combo from one of our “old school” salsa dance episodes, but made more advanced by creating a DPS lock with a hand flick after a cross body lead. Please be careful with this move as it is advanced and requires good timing to not hurt your dance partner.

The song: “Tu Con El” by Frankie Ruiz. I also highly recommend “La Cura” - one of my all time favorites.

Another salsa dance video lesson to help keep you engaged in salsa dancing at the night club or salsa socials. This is a very simple move comes out of a open break into a ladies’ right turn and then goes into a blind rainbow move. The lead and the follow end up back-to-back, from where you turn and go into a reverse salsa wrap or dance cuddle. Afterwards, Julie will show you some good fashion Ladies’ Styling for salsa dancing.

The song is: “Vamonos De Rumba” by Johnny Rivera (Conjunto Clasico). I’ve linked to the new live concert album which I HIGHLY recommend.

In this addicted2salsa salsa dance video lesson we teach you the a very basic salsa dance hand flick coming out of a “hammerlocked” cross body lead. We also provide a quick salsa leg flick to add some additional men’s styling to the salsa dance move. We consider this an intermediate move, so please be careful at the club trying to pull this off, since doing it without proper timing and technique, it could hurt your partner. Keep dancing!

This intermediate / beginner level salsa dance lesson video we show you two ways to sneak turns into a salsa dance move to change some basic syllabus salsa patterns. The first move is a “cuddle” cross body lead and the second is a forward single arm loop (like a barrel turn).

The song is “Hablador” by Sonora Ponceña

You have been asking for some hand flicks, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this video!

Since we consider this an advanced salsa dance move, we’ll go over it a bit faster than our previous videos. The song name is “Tu Con Él” by Frankie Ruiz, and yes, that is sweat on my shirt (it was a very hot day in San Diego!).
