This is the best salsa channel that I've ever found. Now I understand why my basic look so robotized. Thank you. suscribed.

Very well explained. A lot of people are so busy learning advanced salsa patterns that they forget how truly important it is to do things right and especially the basic, 'cause, you know, that's the basic step. If you don't know how to do it right, you can barely understand the more advanced patterns you're trying to learn. In my opinion, you can tell a lot about someone's skills and understanding of salsa by just watching them do the basic step.

[kylenarcisse]

Very well explained. I've been looking for a great explanation of the basics for a long time.

[tonytim]

This is definitely an awesome tip. It's so much more flexible and enable the body to have a smoother flow.

I really gotta keep this in mind. It's nice to have this piece of the puzzle lock in now. Thanks.

[rickireuter]

Thank you, Patrick and Scarlet are awesome !!

 I think they can answer nearly 100 % of our questions . A interesting topic would also be the mind body connection . How intention transfers into eye and head / body movement .

[JonathanBolano]

I never thought about this... idk if which way I do it now that I'm sitting watching this... I can assume it's the smoother way and not stopping, however it's something worth paying attention to going forward... nice video...

Awesome advice! I'm a new Salsa dancer and this is exactly what I need. Thanks!

[vegitoblue]

My leg used to get cramped so badly in one song itself st the socials due to the stop. This new change was a lifesaver!

So I've been doing on two all these years and didn't even know it. Great video. Trying to polish my salsa to stop looking amateurish.
