Interesting Acrobatic Salsa! I wonder why they didn't start right away. I think the "DJ" put on the wrong music.
Wow! A very long and sexy salsa stage performance. Watch how the follower gets aggressive toward the end of the dance. Study this one for some cool (hot?) moves. :) Notice how the musicians integrate a Chopin piano etude into their music. Very well done, guys.. ---

Counting steps and beats. ...holding the 3 and 6 longer than the other counts. This is not a musical count, because in music, each count has the same duration. Some teachers count the musical pulse like this: 1 2 3 - 5 6 7 - These say nothing on "4" and "8" because there is no step on those counts. Some teachers prefer to have leaders break forward on
count 2. This style is sometimes referred to as mambo. |
