BASIC STEPS FOR CASINO pt 2 // 'Cuban Salsa'

This video goes over lead and follow footwork for more of the basic steps for cuban casino including:
• adios
• exhibela / sacala
• enchufla
• vacila

All steps are shown atiempo (dancing on 1, 2, 3... 5, 6, 7)

Follow's first step (1) is with the right foot
Lead's first step (1) is with the left foot.

All steps alternate from there.

If you keep an eye on the positions, cadence of the steps, and framing, you'll be on your way.

I like your teaching style. In a predominantly linear dancer but I also took classes in Havana. You explain things better lol.

Your channel is awesome, hope you keep making more videos! Between 7:43 and 8:30, are you using the Salsa Rhythm app? If so what settings did you use? Thanks!

Question, do you divide classes, level 1 and level 2 or do you mash them all in one class? If you do separate level 1 from level 2, what do you teach solely for level 1 and how many classes before a student can join level 2? Thanks

You are teaching rueda basic steps, not Casino....

Casino is not rueda.
They are similar but they're not the same thing. Just like LA salsa or NY salsa ...they are a form of casino, but they're not Cuban Casino...

For want of a better term, Casino, rueda de casino, rueda de salsa, rueda de NY salsa, rueda de LA salsa, LA salsa, Salsa Cali, NY salsa etc All of these belong to the "salsa family"...

Saying rueda (de casino) is casino / Cuban salsa is what is killing Cuban salsa....
Everybody thinks they can dance casino just because they can do some basic rueda (de something).

I know people who can dance excellent rueda but cannot dance Casino. They dance LA salsa.
These are the people I say they dance rueda de LA salsa.
