To all salsa wannabe's .
***IMPORTANT***:Note that you can click on the gear icon in the lower right hand part of the video and slow this or any video down. This is very useful to see what's going on when the instructor isn't thinking about instructing and is just having fun. Sometimes the instructor isn't able to communicate what needs to be done because they either arent good communicators or they forget.

For me its been alot easier to watch than to listen to instructions as I am a visual learner. I hope this helps everyone.

Thank you SO MUCH for explaining the way a man leads his partner. Dancing is so easy and so much fun with the man truly knows how to lead, the lady can do ANY thing!

What the hell i was just trying to make salsa this guys not a chef at all

[lucreziaorlandi]

It's 2:38 a.m. why the hell am I watching a salsa tutorial

[PeacePrototype]

Even after 8 years, your videos are still great! Thank you.

The reason I am watching a salsa tutorial is that it has been nearly a year since I danced and I am getting ready for a big date on Saturday night! I find this very easy to follow. The instructor is excellent and the director and producer of the video really knew what to they are doing. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

[shanealvarez]

her posture is amazing always on point and he's also a good instructor very easy to follow, I can now start learning something I should've a long time ago

[MissSA]

Most of the beginner videos don’t break down the poses u make it so simple thanks.

[alicialagos]

Wow... Its so hard is anybody here in 2020, trying to figure out how to dance salsa

[Lau]

Your way of teaching is so clear and understandable: super!

[PeachiiDee]

Learning salsa for my Hispanic boyfriend, he loves to dance around the kitchen with me and I can’t dance to save my life, no rhythm and very very klutzy😅

[fotioskiamos]

I've been watching your videos for years and I honestly believe that you post the absolute best tutoring salsa videos on the net. I know so because I have attended several dancing lessons. Well done! Greetings from Greece!

[jessicam]

This is sooo clear and precise!! Just the video I was looking for! Thanks so much! I'm hoping my fiance and I could learn some dances for the wedding to spice things up! I'm def subscribing :-)

[petermeets]

I need to fresh up my memories. I took some lessons last year but because of Corona I stood still. Too long. Never stop dancing!! That's the most important thing what I learned for now. It's one o clock and I am far from sober . ;-)

Thank you. I teach Salsa and I sent this to my beginners because it was the most clear and concise video  I found in about 20 reviewed so thank you. I stressed that there were always small differences in how everybody teaches and I will mention a few not to criticize but just share my approach. The written text mentioned that stepping on the 2 and 5 were just weight shifts but actually watching you, you are picking up your feet slightly which I always stress b/c I want beginners to step everything out to help with their timing knowing that good dancers will fudge it without losing count. Rather than just pivoting on the ladies 6 I suggest picking up and putting down the R foot. One other thing I try to present the 4 and 8 not as holds, true you dont step on them but your foot should be moving in mid air so your movement is smooth. Small points, I thought I'd share,  but thank you for sharing your wisdom and time in an excellent video. Abuelo Salsero, Jack Wolf.

[haydennielsen]

Have to learn how to salsa for a friends quinciñueta... Nervous.. Hahaha a white American boy trying to salsa

[eduaradames]

This is by far the best video on salsa basic steps I have seen so far. 
Every step is very well explained, including the signals for the lead.  Movements are gracious and at the right pace.  They focus the camera at the right part of the body, and the quality of the image is awesome.
Congratulations guys.
