Salsa Episode 15 : Salsa Elements (Reloaded)

So, since we were doing a reloaded version of the salsa basic step with zoomed in angles, we decided to do the same with the other basic elements of salsa moves.

We present how to do a right turn in partnering, as well as the crossbody lead and the open break. These moves are fundamental to making a lot of combinations work once you reach advanced levels of salsa.

Not Salsa, but the Evolution of Dance (funny)

He doesn’t do salsa, but its a pretty funny video (and educational) on how dance styles change over the eras. I hope you enjoy the show, I think its funny.

Salsa Episode 14 : Salsa Basic Step (Reloaded)

Its been a while… I know. Anyways, we have been asked to do the basic step once again (with zoomed in) camera angles – so we decided to do it, and make it a 'practice' with us video. So, I hope you enjoy the basic steps to salsa – reloaded.

We have also zoomed in to our feet so that you can see (along side the dirt on the floor) our footwork. I hope you use this video so you can practice your basic step, over and over again. Remember, your basic step is your best friend on the dancefloor when everything else fails.

We perform the basic step On1 and On2. We also show you the right turn On1.

Grupo Niche, Rumbero Writing Contest Winner

The Detroit area salseros at SalsaDetroit.com, in conjunction with KalamazooSalsa.com wanted to do something a little different instead of just doing another dance contest as a Grupo Niche concert promotion. The writing contest was open to everyone and the range of topics were pretty open just as long as the submissions had a Latin theme. The competition was pretty stiff and we had some very good ones. Most entries were narratives and were even pretty moving but we did have one entry that was unlike all of the rest. It was a poem done in Spanish by Kalamazoo College’s, Sarah Orrellano. She is the winner of the two VIP tickets to next Friday’s (May 12th) Grupo Niche concert, as well as a backstage pass for a meet and greet. Sarah will be also be acknowledged and presented w/ a trophy at the concert. Here was her submission. ( I hope the format doesn’t get squished during transmission) Go to TresRumberos.com for ticket info.
