Well, 
we have another Episode of Addicted 2 Salsa. Another shot at Hotel Fort Des Moines (Iowa for those who are wondering where we are from). We teach you a simple double-handed turn using the same principles as leading a right turn — and then teach you a slick little combo for switching hands as a starter for any other combos you might learn in your life! Again, sorry for the low-budget filming (we do accept donations)!

Ok, another episode we shot “at location”. Yes, we are a low-budget podcast. We are doing this for all of you who really want to learn. We love teaching you what we know to hopefully get you started.
In this episode we review the open-break and work through it. It is a very important move if you need to gather some initial momentum for future combos. We also show you how to switch places using an open-break (very simple stuff), and then, a small little combo starter for the future combos that you might do from an open-break.

After such a long hiatus, we are back! We have received your emails requesting a more longer beginner lesson, so here you have it. In this episode we review the basic front-and-back salsa step (different angles), the side-to-side break, the right turn and partnering. Hopefully this helps many of you get started in salsa dancing!

Well, the folks at IndySalsa.com (Marques) were cool enough to provide more salsa videoclips from the Chicago Salsa Congress 2005. This salsa combo is from “Gordon Neil & Laura Geldys’ Workshop”. Actually, its pretty interesting because I was in that exact same workshop last year (and you can see me in the video). It is funny how I just noticed myself in other people’s video clips. (If you are wondering, I’m the guy on the right, black shirt, in the ‘rectangular’ white box).
Hope you enjoy this video clip – hope this keeps hyping you up for congress!

Since the Chicago Salsa Congress 2006 is coming up, I decided to share this video clip that I found from last years salsa congress. This clip is brought to you buy IndySalsa.com. The salsa video clip is titled “Juan Calderon’s Workshop – On1″, which was a very slick combo he taught us that day. For more on Juan Calderon, you can go to his website at: www.culturalexplosion.com. He’s an awesome performer, and teacher (explains things cleary and is patient).
Anyway, instead of taping a video, I decided to aggregate some video clips freely available on the internet so you don’t have to. Enojy the video clip. Remember any comments, concerns or suggestions, please contact us at www.addicted2salsa.com.

I would like to provide credit where credit is due. I reverse-engineered this move on a video I saw of some really good dancers dancing at a club! (Sorry, don’t know their names, but they were good)! Anyway, this is a tight combo that can be linked together with other combinations you might know. Of course, like every episode we add some styling so you can get started!

Again, we are only getting to learn how to use FinalCut Pro for video editing, so please bear with us on our video quality — but here is our first published combo. It is basically putting right turns and crossbody leads with styling. You can do it over and over again so you can practice those two fundamentals!

This episode will teach everyone the basic crossbody lead. For most of you, this will be a very essential move to pull-off some of the other complicated combinations. In addition, we add some styling techniques to make your crossbody leads better for both MEN and WOMEN!.

The first episode will review the basic steps of the salsa (front-back) step On1. We also teach you how to perform a simple right turn, and for the guys, how to lead a right turn when in open position. Hopefully this will get you started dancing salsa!
