I've compiled a collection of vids (muc nlike "The walking conundrum" thread @Chris_Yannick made a few years ago) to illustrate the look I covet. Just to be clear, I'm only referring to parts of the dance taht are clearly forward or backward steps, or obvious salsa steps, versus rumba and...

I'm in Malaga tonight "wednesday) abd tomorrow (thursday", then going to bilbao. I have ab inclination that Málaga has a cuban scene. Anyone know?

On way to hsvan right now. I'll update the situation musically and economically.

I was looking for a thread where someone said they were trying to find old Clips. Was watching a gang documentary and at the end was Salllpsa dancing. Not expect Javelins and Ex-Turbans to be salsa dancing. Looked surprisingly Cuban-esque which pleads me to a lot of questions about what...

I just watched a nice short Doc on Rumba. A few tidbits we all know, a few things that seemed to get glossed over by most people, and some nice old school clips. a few mentions on abakua and guaracha (Blackface warning). the title is a bit sensational lol.

They're both near 1830. Which is better for dancing?

Recently I purchased an online Casino course from Messina. I like his clear and concise descriptions. I also like his minimalist body movement that still looks very good. His general body movement section is quite good for the lack of crazy technical explanations. It is light on shoulder...

Not sure 8f this was answered before. I've read multiple posts but hadn't seen one on this. After 14 months I've went back to practicing Rumba with much zeal, with the expressed goal of gaining. Abetter relationship between my body, and the push off the floor. I watched my DVD from a...

I signed up last month to Dance Dojo and have watched almost the whole course, including the combos (as they have techniques and tips to supplement the main page). I found many tips to add right away to improve my lead and smoothness, as well as enlightenment to ma y bad habits I have that I...

I do feel that there are things to glean, butbhe oft tomed post stuff that can confuse newbs without stating it's his opinion. Thoughts:

Has anyone heard of this guy? Perhsps Offbeat since he's from out west? I came across a set of youtube videos where he discusses the basic step and I quute like the look of his. A little more subdued then Oliver's, and doje will disagree (whatevs) but it is more pleasing to my eyes and he...

DJs Tariq (I think he is on here), Gury and Steve.

I am trying to bring dome mire dynamics to my basic, as just practicing the "smooth" basic and such s bit tedious and I'm losing motivation. I noticed watching a clip if someone doing shines, that when he switched to on 2, he started adding a "bounce" in his step. Kinda reminds me of the swing...

Dont kill me. I have looked through forums and havent found a very good explanation pr conversation outside the obvious. I was watching an old Eddie torres video (nightclub volume 2) and noticed that, apart from timing, there really was a difference on how the moves were executed. Once they...

So my basic is SLOWLY getting better, but I wanna juice it up. My shimmiesvarent great, slow but aleast looking like shimmies. Realistically (without bragging about the amount per beat you can do), on what count should I add them in (and about how many). Right now I'm working on a measly 3 to...

Every Summer in my city of London, Ontario, Canada we have had a multicultural festival called Sunfest. It started out small but has become QUITE the party (with the usual Eclectic fusion bands, funk, afrobeat, african and folk). 6 or 7 years ago I was watching people dance to Cuban bands and...

I was looking through old threads... there were a lot of members and followers back then. One I came across was "moves you hate", and I feel the tastes have evolved over the years. For instance, T stances and shining without your partner had much hate back then, but now seems commonplace and...

Not sure if this has been posted here before. I'm sure it has. Its a great 10 minute Documentary about Rumba, Santeria and Abakuá dancing. Straight from the Horses mouth. Not watered down by tourism and travelling Workshop taint. The beginning is some serious Cuban motion.

From most accounts I've heard, Frankie Martinez is an amazing social dancer. Light, Smooth, etc. I came across a couple vids which almost directly contradict much of what I've been taught (and more importantly told to stop doing). I'll so my best to time stamp the specifics. This is an...
