The often-requested men's styling for salsa dancing has arrived! Once you have a solid basis for your cross body leads, the next step is to be able to do variations of it. In this salsa video, we teach ways to spice up your salsa by adding style to your cross body leads.

Quick Style Tips for Ladies

If anyone out there is wondering, "what can I do to improve that doesn't involve the natural process of getting good over time," I have some answers for you. Using body language (one of the main ways people communicate), you can improve how you look when you dance simply by remembering these easy tips. Look at it this way...for dancers who are taking classes or doing what they can to improve their dancing over time, these tips will help you look good while you are in the process of learning. Often, when a dancer is learning something new, the basics are thrown out the window. What ends up happening is that the body language suffers, so while you may have a great new footwork pattern, you've sacrificed some important basics. While you learn, keep these tips in mind, and you'll always look great! http://addicted2salsa.com/2009/05/14/salsa-styling-tips-for-ladies

In this episode of Addicted2Salsa Dance Lesson show, we travel a bit to the East Coast in order to show you a very common and popular move to do at the salsa dance nightclub. The first move, which I call the "Cyclone Bounce" for no apparent reason, can be seen in many salsa dance congress on the East Coast. The second dance move is really taking most of the concepts from the The Windmill Combo salsa dance episode and putting a different spin on it. http://addicted2salsa.com/2009/05/01/mambo-styled-salsa-dance-moves/

This video will help provide you with three great ways of improving your dance spinning technique. While most of the advice presented in Julie's video tends to be 'known' by most intermediate dancers, we believe it does not get addressed early on by beginners. The three main items that we will cover are good dance frame and position, the salsa dance prep and spotting. http://addicted2salsa.com/2009/04/21/how-to-improve-your-spins-in-dancing

The Windmill Combo with Ladie's Styling

In this episode of Addicted2Salsa salsa dance video lessons, we will show you how to perform a basic salsa windmill combination into what we call the "hourglass copa". The Windmill is very similar to other moves you have done that require an cross-body lead with an outside turn, except this is just a variation in styling of that basic move. The hourglass copa is based off of basic copa move (a.k.a in-and-out), except that the lead requires the use of two points of contact on the ladies' shoulder blades. At the end, Julie will break down some basic ladies' styling techniques when performing this move. Finally having a woman's voice in the video is refreshing!

How to dance to Live Salsa Music

Now, you might notice that when I’m slow in writing articles - its probably because I’m doing something else on the website (like making a podcast - remember, I do have a day job :-) ). Anyways, I’m pretty happy with this episode because I’m a big fan of listening to live music. In this episode of Addicted2Salsa podcast, we take a look at some songs performed live during various events, and I’ll give you some tips how to survive dances that are at live events (with a live band). This is because live songs tend to be much longer and different than the songs you practice with. In this Episode, here is the song list: * [Intro] Roberto Roena and Ray Barretto Medely * Sonora Ponceña - Ahora Si (with Andy Montanez) - a 16+ minute song. * Frankie Ruiz - La Cura (live) * Gran Combo de Puerto Rico (with Gilberto Santarosa) - 40th Anniversary Live - Maldito Callo/A Ti Te Pasa Algo/…(its a medely) * [Ending] Gran Combo de Puerto Rico- 40th Anniversary Live - Bogallo/Mazucamba/Pata Pata..(another medley).

Well, there are a lot of Latin dance songs out there. Most of them are in Spanish, no doubt. However, there are a lot of examples of mixing other styles of music, lyrics and languages into a good salsa rhythm and beat. In this salsa music episode I'll give you a taste of how different regular songs have been combined with Latin rhythms to produce some great sounds that break the mold of the traditional/stereotypical salsa music that you may hear on your next cruise.Thanks to Daniel from GTSalsa for helping out!.

So, I have decided to change things up a bit. This is our first audio podcast episode. Again, first episodes are always very….low quality because we are still figuring things out (If you ever see our salsa video episodes 1-4, and compare them to 12-19 — you’ll see the difference). Anyway, feedback is always useful to make the content better. Here is the salsa music guide as: (the song in parenthesis is the background playing song) 1. (Intro) Lalo Rodriguez : (Devorame Otra Vez) 2. Hector Lavoe : (Barrunto), Todo Tiene Su Final 3. Willie Colon: (Idilio), La Murga 4. Justo Betancourt: Pa’Bravo Yo 5. Frankie Ruiz : A bunch of mixes 6. Andy Montanez : Payaso 7. El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico : (La Muerte - Live) Me Libere 8. Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz : (Agúzate)

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it).

So I decided to release this episode a little earlier than normal. One of our members asked about different ways of getting out of hammerlock positions. In this episode of addicted2salsa, I show you a couple of simple ways to get out of hammerlocks and one slick/combo way. Please some of these moves require practice and patience so you do not hurt the ladies arm. Ladies, this is the best way to practice your copa step.

Well, we are here again, bringing you a simple, yet slick salsa combo you can learn and use at the club (or wherever).This combo uses a lot of simple elements (half a turn), with a drop hands, and then a blind cross body lead while switching hands. In addition, we use the concepts of a wrap and a copa to finish off the combo. (You can check some of the moves in an earlier podcast). Enjoy!

The Submarine ‘boop’ Combo

Duration: 0
Well, this is a funny one I think. The name of this combo was given by our video grapher (Cedric Parlade) because everytime I taught the combo I would make a ‘boop’ sound similar to that one on the radars in submarines. If you would like to do the ‘boop’ sound, it is done on the counts of 1 and 5. I usually use this combo to give me more time to think what move/combo I will be doing next - so basically I use it to stall. ;-) Good to have it in the salsa dance arsenal of moves.
