[caption align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Episode 5 : Salsa At The Disco"][/caption] Another quick episode of addicted2salsa podcast. Today we show you how to perform the famous "Salsa Disco" dance move using different amounts of spin. A lot of dancers get caught up in the fact about knowing very little moves, but in reality, by adding doubles [...]

Yes, finally a new episode of the salsa dance podcast video series. Sorry, I've been out of the 'loop', but this flu season was terrible here in California. I have also been busy moving apartments and working relatively hard at work (my real day job!). I will be going to Vegas in a few days, [...]

Last, but not least - the third version of the 'salsa track' that I made with Garageband is with a Flute Solo. Using a flute as the main part of the melody is common, but it is usually not heard of enough. If you missed the first two salsa track solos, you can find the trumpet [...]

This is the second version of the simple salsa track that I posted earlier. This time, I chose to go with a more 'Salsa Celtica' kind of sound with a Violin salsa solo. I also used the Cajon as the background drum beat (instead of the regular Cowbell and Congas). Your feedback is always welcomed! Feel [...]

After you get a Mac, a lot of fun things happen. I decided to put my compusic (computer+music) skills to some more good use an make a few interesting Salsa tracks with a program called GarageBand. While I was at it, I made three different versions of this salsa dance soundtrack. Here is the first [...]

Well, after getting great feedback from all of you, here it is - a more complicated salsa pattern. It is a very long pattern, so take it in strides and small bites. We have named the individual moves to help you piece the entire salsa combination together. Now, because it is Valentine's Day (soon) - [...]

The first episode will review the basic steps of the salsa (front-back) step On1. We also teach you how to perform a simple right turn, and for the guys, how to lead a right turn when in open position. Hopefully this will get you started dancing salsa! ShareThis

This episode will teach everyone the basic crossbody lead. For most of you, this will be a very essential move to pull-off some of the other complicated combinations. In addition, we add some styling techniques to make your crossbody leads better for both MEN and WOMEN!. ShareThis

Again, we are only getting to learn how to use FinalCut Pro for video editing, so please bear with us on our video quality but here is our first published combo. It is basically putting right turns and crossbody leads with styling. You can do it over and over again so you can practice those two fundamentals! ShareThis

I would like to provide credit where credit is due. I reverse-engineered this move on a video I saw of some really good dancers dancing at a club! (Sorry, don t know their names, but they were good)! Anyway, this is a tight combo that can be linked together with other combinations you might know. Of course, like every episode we add some styling so you can get started!

Salsa Episode 5: Extended Beginner Salsa Lesson A fter such a long hiatus, we are back! We have received your emails requesting a more longer beginner lesson, so here you have it. In this episode we review the basic front-and-back salsa step (different angles), the side-to-side break, the right turn and partnering. Hopefully this helps many of you get started in salsa dancing! ShareThis

Salsa Episode 6: The Open-Break, Switch, and Combo Starter Ok, another episode we shot at location . Yes, we are a low-budget podcast. We are doing this for all of you who really want to learn. We love teaching you what we know to hopefully get you started. In this episode we review the open-break and work through it. It is a very important move if you need to gather some initial momentum for future combos. We also show you how to switch places using an open-break (very simple stuff), and then, a small little combo starter for the future combos that you might do from an open-break. ShareThis

Salsa Episode 7 : Double-Hand turn and the Tai-Flip Well, we have another Episode of Addicted 2 Salsa. Another shot at Hotel Fort Des Moines (Iowa for those who are wondering where we are from). We teach you a simple double-handed turn using the same principles as leading a right turn and then teach you a slick little combo for switching hands as a starter for any other combos you might learn in your life! Again, sorry for the low-budget filming (we do accept donations)! ShareThis

So, we sort of rushed this episode out the door hopefully we will find some time to actually make an episode with some organization behind it.. In this episode of the salsa podcast, we show you how to do some magichands drop, a quick hammerlock to a cross-body lead, and then to a copa for the ladies. Again, we will setup a donation system through paypay since we are running out of funds and would like to have better podcasts! PLEASE DONATE! Thanks! ShareThis

Well, another episode from filming in Ames . yes, its another rushed episode, so we didn t have time to reherse because our students were walking through the door . we apologize.. Anyway, in this episode, we each a very simple turning combo that taps into a reverse-open-break. Then, the ladies will open (and maybe wink) and finish turning while the lead picks them up to finish with a cross-body lead.., I hope you enjoy it ShareThis

Well, at last . after such a long pause.. we are finally back with new episodes! We have shot a couple of episodes but I since I know iTunes only updates the latest one, I will wait to publish the rest of the salsa episodes on a weekly basis. This week s episode is basically showing you a set of minor hand techniques (cues) that might help you when you are dancing salsa. Again, we try our best to show you what we know so you can catch up to most of them out there. We do not say we are professionals, but we try our best because we love to teach what we learn and know Salsa Podcast Episode 10 - Basic Salsa Hand Techniques. This episode we feature our special guest Melanie Rivera! These new episodes are much longer than the previous, so they are bigger (more bandwidth required), so we hope that if you find the salsa podcast useful, we appreciate your donation! Thanks in advance! ShareThis

Well, say this three times fast! Double-handed, hand holds . So it might be easy.. but sometimes we get stuck in weird hand positions. Here is another episode of addicted 2 salsa podcast! Today we go over a couple of slick ways of getting out of two-handed holds in combos. You know, sometimes you end-up with holding the follower s both hands (crossed position) and maybe don t know how to be slick about getting back to normal for the next move? Well, we summarize a couple of ways of doing it, so you can just pick one whenever you end up in that position! They can be used as regular salsa combos, or combo finishers (think of interesting ways of putting them in) If you like our podcasts and you have iTunes, give us a review to see how we are doing!

As I always say, my job is not just to ENTERTAIN you, but keep you ENGAGED. So, send us feedback at www.addicted2salsa.com Ok, so I took that similar intro from Jim Cramer and his Mad Money TV show. Hope you are enjoying our podcasts. This episode will basically cover some simple moves that are basically universal in the sense that everyone who does salsa knows how to do. It is interesting to note that some of the more complicated salsa moves actually end up being variations of these combos. Ignore this: My Veoh Show ShareThis

Its been a while I know. Anyways, we have been asked to do the basic step once again (with zoomed in) camera angles - so we decided to do it, and make it a practice with us video. So, I hope you enjoy the basic steps to salsa - reloaded. We have also zoomed in to our feet so that you can see (along side the dirt on the floor) our footwork. I hope you use this video so you can practice your basic step, over and over again. Remember, your basic step is your best friend on the dancefloor when everything else fails. We perform the basic step On1 and On2. We also show you the right turn On1. My Veoh Show ShareThis

So, since we were doing a reloaded version of the salsa basic step with zoomed in angles, we decided to do the same with the other basic elements of salsa moves. We present how to do a right turn in partnering, as well as the crossbody lead and the open break. These moves are fundamental to making a lot of combinations work once you reach advanced levels of salsa. ShareThis

Well, this is a funny one I think. The name of this combo was given by our videographer (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 arsenal of moves. ShareThis

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!

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. Remember, any donation amount is fully apreciated! I would like to thank the following people for their contributions since our last episode: Edna Thompson Jamie Hohnstein Lee Bryant Lia Sophia Jewelry Peter Bognar Stanley Chu Timothy Doherty William Buchanan ShareThis

In honor of Steve Jobs Keynote address at the Apple Computer WWDC, I decided to release this video today. So, another funny combo name. DPS stands for Department of Public Safety . I got arrested one time at Iowa State University for carrying a door down the street (oops!), and the way they lock your arms is the same way you do it to the follow. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position. 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 the lesson for today? If you ever get arrested, you might be learning how to dance as well ShareThis

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 becuase half the time I don t know how to do one, and we learn as we go (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) - (Intro) Lalo Rodriguez : (Devorame Otra Vez) - Hector Lavoe : (Barrunto), Todo Tiene Su Final - Willie Colon: (Idilio), La Murga - Justo Betancourt: Pa Bravo Yo - Frankie Ruiz : A bunch of mixes - Andy Montanez : Payaso - El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico : (La Muerte - Live) Me Libere - (Ending) Richie Ray powered by ODEO ShareThis

Well, I finally took my labor day weekend to finally work on the podcast. So get it while its hot! I call this episode Salsa is Universal, because I want to showcase some of the salsa artists that are overseas (relatively speaking, I m in the US). So, this episode is dedicated to our friends over the atlantic (or over the Pacific depending on how you look at it). Listen, dance and enjoy!
