Last day of Salsa class, Spring 2012



This was the last day of Salsa 3 for the Spring session. Alain, was not able to dance because he hurt his shoulder. Cheryl decided to teach a rueda class instead of the traditional "figure of the day" class. Since they were a small group, the students covered a lot of material in little time. This video show the results.

Thank you guys for making it to the end of the session. You are heroes and great dancer. We hope to see you soon in the next session.

Wow, this move is challenging, but my students surprised me and were able to do it without difficulty.

We started with an outside walk for the follower
a hand slide to an open break in which the leader is turning his back to the follower
a hand change to an interrupted inside turn
a right turn for the follower while the leader does a half hook turn
another open break in which the leader is turning his back to the follower
a surprise leader stepping perpendicular to partner to guide her a one turn an a half while the leader does a hook turn.

One of the biggest satisfaction of teaching dancing is to see the expression of happiness on the faces of the students after they manage to learn a new movement and after having pleasant interaction with other students in the class.

Salsa 2 lesson 4 (Dance Conmigo)

In this video, we worked on a move that I call "half turn" which is in fact the beginning of an "inside turn" that gets interrupted right before the end and the leader bring the follower back to face him.

The crucial element of this move is start slowing the follower momentum as she is finishing her turn, stop her completely by 1-2-3 and bring her back to face him on 5-6-7.
