L. Vazquez & Melissa

There is only one word for this: Smoking hot!
Just watch ... Melissa, and you know what I mean.



Watch it again, and now look at the salsa pattern: it is actually a great move, really ... salsa on 1 but smooth, no staccato effect.
I really love the part where the women has to lead here way out of the shines, she can and needs to control the move to get out of it. Otherwise we can stand there all night watchin'those moves :-)

Summer salsa in Brussels, May 2007

I went to the Summer salsa weekend in Brussels and recorded most of the routines and figures we practiced during the weekend and I will be posting them here online.
There is no way I can remember all I learned during the weekend, so recording is really helpful.

The first class on Saterday morning I took, was the one from Nelson Flores, on2, great patterns, but difficult as I am dancing less on 2.



For those who have recorded other classes and are willing to put them on YouTube, please tag them with "summersalsa", "brussels" and "2007" and let me know.

Walking salsa

This video shows some nice moves, very fluid dancing, no breaks just go with the flow. I guess that is one of the big differences between LA and NewYork style: dancing on 2 is more fluid, you just don't stop in between the steps.

The guy lost the girl in a move and started to do some shines while moving around the girl, and he keeps moving around the floor when he gets back together. This is not something you do when the floor is crowded but dancing becomes more graceful that way.

There is no need stay put when you have enough room, right?
