I'll say it again: You need to do both - videos for leaders and for followers. It's still confusing to watch.
This is a great help! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it could help man! -robin
As usual with salsa vile music
At your service
Thank you, so much. This helps a lot.
You're welcome. Great to hear it helped! -robin
I'm just beginning. What makes your video great is the amount of time you spend repeating the same move with music so I can build it into muscle memory knowing I'm doing it correctly. I've been through lots of videos that teach on Salsa on 2 and many show you the steps and only dance to the music for 10 seconds, which doesn't work for beginners. Your video is spot on for people just starting. THANK YOU!
@@frankdamelio6721 Awesome Frank. So glad it's helping and really appreciate you sharing that! -Robin
Thank you for these tips !
@@JCC56 You're welcome! -Robin
Very good tips. I'm a beginner, and It's been interesting to experience different instructors' teaching methods. So many expect true beginners to learn intermediate moves.
I couldn't agree more with your comment. Glad you enjoyed them! -robin
00:20 Teacher, i think if i dance first time... i shouldn't use that movement. if i touch knee of women, it is ok. but! if i touch a woman's outer thigh, it can be problem. am i right?
@@negatif9163 it depends how you do it. if you're not comfortable you can skip it. there's plenty of other moves to do!
Great lesson Why the horn takes 4*8 beats to repeat the pattern ? Not 2*8 beats Between 4:25 - 4:37
Yea you're right, in that timeframe it sounds like it was 4*8. Right before that it was 2*8. Good ear
excellent;ent drills Thank u
Glad you like em, enjoy!
thank you
@@oceanbreathnow you're welcome!
zero, was always doing something different, same tempo maybe but hitting at different times than him
Keep at it, you'll get it!
Dang
Thanks
A beast
Thanks!
Why you start 1 with left foot?
It's the convention for the leads. When dancing with a partner the follow will start stepping with the right foot first.
I was overwhelmed at first, but once I ve got on the track it felt like a huge progress
Awesome, everything takes time. Just take it bit by bit!
You are leading with your heads and legs. Its not good.
They are world champions. They know what they're doing :)
@@thedancedojo OK, understood, if you are a world champion (in what?) you can lead the heap of your partner with a knee.
Amazing!!
Thanks a lot! -Robin
Sweet. I like the modularity aspect on how you laid it out. Great job!
Glad you liked it. Just sharing how I like to break things down in my own mind. -Robin
great breakdown. you guys are awesome! Thank you so much!
thank you! ❤️
I went after the first lesson to the social after. I learnt so much talking to people and people showed me a lot of things. As a lead, I think a basic step is pretty important though. I'd say that's probably the prerequisite.
Absolutely, but once you have the basic step it's great to get out there. Nicely done!
Why counting in eighth??

Awesome!
Thanks!
Great video! Very helpful!
So glad it's helpful! -Robin
Dude that was a great tutorial I appreciate how you establish the foundation clearly. Ya'll did great.
Thanks, glad you liked the approach!
Omg that timing change tip is GOLD
Glad it helped Melissa!
great video thanks a lot. I lived in ecuador for a while and a lot of people were dancing on 3 so now it all makes sense!
Cool! glad it helped. I still need to visit Ecuador :)
…is it for the salsa dance ?? 😊😊 😊😊😊
yup!
I dance on 3 much more than on 2. I enjoy it when I'm bored or not in love with the song. I find it works well to cumbia songs and in Havana I dance casino with a lot of older women on 3. But I focus on and emphasize the 1, vs thinking 345 781.
Cool, I rarely hear of people intentionally dancing on3 so thanks for sharing.
@@thedancedojo it is just A tiempo. They don't think of it like that. My teacher in Havana never dances on 3. She prefers contratiempo, but says it is common enough.
insightful. thanks
Glad it could help man
Great lesson man, greetings from Poland👍
My pleasure! Glad it was useful. -robin
I understand every follow step here, except her left turn appears difficult. After completing her 1, 2, 3, she steps forward on 5, pivots back on 6, and turns quickly on 7, stepping back on 1. There seems not to be an 8 pause. It took me 20 replys to see how she did this step because the 7 to 1 transition is really fast.
It's just like you said, she steps 123-567. Even if someone appears to dance fast you can just do the steps on those counts and it'll work out. -robin
Imagine dancing salsa to Smooth Operator and doing that on the "Smooooooth Operator"
That last tip for the follows at the end about the torso direction with each step was super helpful! These are the little details that are often overlooked during classes.
Awesome, glad it was helpful Emma :)
Thanks so much for the tip about how the follower’s wrists should be positioned. Now I understand why the instructor said I dance like a zombie 🤣
haha, it's those small details hey?
As someone who is just starting out, all 6 tips were the best advice for me. Thank you so much.
Right on Larry! Glad they could help
All the tips are so helpful, especially turning your feet out and dancing on two lines. Dancing on one line looks so hard!!
Couldn't agree more. Won't see me on a tightrope between two buildings anytime soon. -robin
Nice coaching
Thanks :)
This is AMAZING! NR1
Thanks!
Thank you. I just doubled my repertoire.
🙌 awesome
Ooh, so Im guessing any time I feel like the lead is off beat by 1 and Im having trouble follwiing he must be an on2 person then, since everything Ive learned has me stepping back on the 1.
if you're not sure, you could always just ask the lead too :)
@thedancedojo we don't always speak the same language, and it's often too loud to talk, but yeah. ;)
Or that person just can’t dance…bad timing
Thanx for these vids , learned a lot
My pleasure, glad they've helped! -robin
Lacks a demonstration with music. Still cannot comprehend yet
Check this one out (focus on on1 vs on2 for "a tiempo timing"): kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXVow8pscc6spcY.html
@@thedancedojo okay thanks.
Now I understand about why Ive been focused on double time - and what it is! And what the beat is!!!
Awesome! -robin
Thankyou! ❤Mind and beat opening!
Glad to see you're excited :) -robin
Enchufa?
It's a move originally from casino (cuban salsa).
@@thedancedojo but isn't it Enchufla, with an "l"?
@@susanhonegger9987 you'll see both spellings
Ah, ok didn't know that. Thanks
absolutely agree
🙌
Super useful 👌 thanks
Glad it's helping. -Robin
So grateful Robin. Cheers!
Happy it's helping :) -Robin
I loooove this!! Now I understand why I enjoy dancing with some leaders more than others. I’m currently learning to lead and I really want to show my dance partner a good time because I know what it feels like to be on the other side. I feel like you just gave me a a secret tip that will serve me well if I learn to implement it successfully. Trust me, this advice did not land on deaf ears! Thanks a million!!!
My pleasure Mindy! Glad it could help :) - robin
