If you are new to Salsa here is a short video clip from Addicted2Salsa.com.
This video shows how to perform the basic step and simple right turn footwork.
What to keep in mind when learning Salsa:
1. Each bar of salsa music is split into 4 beats.
2. Salsa is danced on 2 bars (ie. beats 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, 6, 7, 8)
3. A step (transfer of weight from one foot to the other) is made on beats 1, 2, 3, and 5, 6, 7.
4. A brief pause is made on beats or counts number 4 and 8.
5. The pace of the beats are "quick, quick, slow... quick, quick, quick, slow..." Which corresponds to "1, 2, 3..., 5, 6, 7...)
6. Be patient

A bar of Salsa music is 4 beats not 8. Two bars one after the other would be 12341234.
ReplyDeleteThe dancers count (how we dance to two bars of music) is 123-567- for on-1 salsa.
Thanks for the correction!
ReplyDeleteSalsa dance is mostly danced in parties. It is mostly a partner dance but the solo form is also recognized. I know certain website which provides video classes on salsa dance
