In this dance instruction video I teach that “moving your body weight” before stepping can be very beneficial. I use the Salsa basic step as an example for explaining – but you should apply this technique element everywhere! I will make a follow up video with more examples of how it is used with different dances and steps. WATCH VIDEO NOW>>

As promised, the last fundamental step in the Cha Cha. Just to recap, in the basic in place we did the triple step on one spot. In the progressive basic step we did the triple step forward and back. And now in this side basic step we are doing the triple step sideways.

In this dance video lesson I explain the Salsa timing and count. As a beginner, it is very important for you to understand that there are a total of 8 beats in every phrase of Salsa music. However, when you are dancing, you are usually only making 6 steps within 1 phrase. So how do we count 8 beats to 6 steps? Easy! We pause on count “4″ and count “8″. So the most common count used in Salsa is 1,2,3-5,6,7 (counts 4 and 8 are pauses). In the video I illustrate the most basic step to the count as an example. WATCH VIDEO HERE

This is the first Cha Cha dance instruction video! Learn the Basic In Place or as I like to call it “the baby step of Cha Cha”. This is the first of three fundamental basic steps of Cha Cha. Please tune in for the next two videos where I will cover the “Progressive basic step” and the “side basic step“. All three of these basic steps will give you a great foundation for the more intermediate and advanced moves.

Learn the Salsa underarm turn in this video dance lesson. I am using a new microphone here so the sound should be better. This step is challenging for the ladies as they need to develop good balance for their turns. For the guys the actual step is very basic but requires a solid lead which I explain in great detail. Make sure to watch the last section where I talk about the most common mistakes people make when dancing this underarm turn and how you can avoid them.
