This is just what I need to get my head around Salsa rhythm. More like this would be great

I subscribed just from watching this video. You two are so sweet and kind, obviously passionate and knowledgeable! I look forward to learning from your videos!

super, much appreciated. It all sounds as if it comes out of a tap to me, I can never hear the differences and changes, but I DO want to understand the music, and dance to the music, not by rote, I just need a simple, patient way in. You really do bridge the Cuban spirit and the learner. (really love the improv bits.) Thankyou again.
