While you are here, also join our newsletter.
In this video, we spoke about the first building block of salsa dancing, the basic step.
Here are 3 general points of the salsa basics.
1. The music is composed of eight musical beats. 1-2-3 (on the 4 we do a small stop) 5-6-7 ( on the 8 we do another stop)
2. The leader stars by stepping forward with his left foot, while the follower starts by stepping back with her right foot.
3. The basic can be done in either open (holding hands) or closed position.
Salsa is is a great fun activity. Alain and Cheryl from Dance Conmigo hope that you will join us for all our other level 1, level 2 and level 3 videos.
If you live in the Montreal (Canada) area, consider coming to our dance classes or our coming to our salsa party the first Saturday of every month. Write us an email for more information.

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)
Dance Conmigo offers private & group Salsa classes in Montreal
http://www.danceconmigo.com/salsa
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.
