Latin Dance Lesson

So, we sort of rushed this episode out the door… hopefully we will find some time to actually make an episode with some organization behind it.. In this episode of the salsa podcast, we show you how to do some ‘magichands’ drop, a quick hammerlock to a cross-body lead, and then to a copa for the ladies. Again, we will setup a donation system through paypay since we are running out of funds and would like to have better podcasts!

http://addicted2salsa.com/2006/08/07/salsa-dance-19-the-dps-lock-combo/

So, another funny combo name. DPS stands for ‘Department of Public Safety’. I got arrested one time at Iowa State University for carrying a door down the street (oops!), and the way they lock your arms is the same way you do it to the follow. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it).

Hope you are enjoying our dance podcast. This episode will basically cover some simple dance moves that are basically universal — that everyone who does salsa knows how to perform. It is interesting to note that some of the more complicated salsa dancing moves actually end up being variations of these combos.

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)!

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.
You’ve seen ballroom dancing on TV shows like Dancing With The Stars with Cheryl Burke and Emmitt Smith, Ballroom Boot Camp, America’s Ballroom Challenge, and the Fox reality show, So You Think You Can Dance?.

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.
