Dude, congrats for your vision of teaching. You put in simple words what some great teacher are unable to teach after 20 lessons. Please ignore those "I'm bored with your video" because you are really helping a lot of people who want to dance like everyone else and are punished with interminable classes doing the same sh***t step. Your job is great, thank you !

Cool video. I have been dancing salsa for several years and am confident on the dance floor now, but I think the biggest problem for new male dancers of salsa is that they are afraid to start in the freestyle dance section of an evening. The tips in this video are just what is needed to get a new dancer to get started in freestyle. Like it.

It isn't just "lift the left hand." There is a little bit of direction from the hand. "Speak to the hand!"~Jim Carry.
Tiny criticism aside, very good! Very great! I went to lessons for years and no one told me about hand positions to signal what you intend the woman to do. Magic wand? Clever! I like it. And you both look so nice.
Someone told me, "drive me! Like I am a car!" Sweet little 72 year-old salsa dancer.
So...I drove her.

Great job and info for us who love to dance but don't know the salsa moves... Hands, arm, footwork... But I would love to show my wife this... He maybe a little to serious but he makes his point... He got my attention... I'll be looking forward to others!!!

Been working on spins and trying to learn some rules and tips. Best video ever for fast learners. Amazing coaching and delivery. Thanks

Dude you are a good teacher. I like the way you teach. You make it look so easy. Great!

[Dj_RyGaR]

Gracias amigo, cool basic moves to look good on dance floor without too much to worry because she makes us look good :)

[reggiecorbett]

Fantastic Stuff. Very Nice and makes you feel so comfortable.

I am not sure about why it is the woman's job to make you look good?You are still the leader, you are calling the turns. Perhaps it is more important to have a better connection so you can signal more clearly?

GREAT video! I have been doing salsa for a few years and some of the things you discussed I never understood how easy it was to add these movements into ones dance. I think I am going dancing tonight to test the new skills you gave me. LOL Love it, my brother. Love it! I have subscribed and will be checking out more of your awesome videos!

Just my thoughts as fellow dance instructor. I actually teach another form of dance called Detroit-style ballroom and Chicago style steppin'. Salsa is my 3rd Love this week. LOL Again, Love the tutorial!

Wow! This is true you don’t need perfection you need progression, good concept. You should rename this video

[kevinvega]

Way to go this is a great video to start off with. Like anything else you start off by playing around and experimenting then it will come naturally. Plus just as instructed you can look good enough to have fun in the dance floor as a beginner and that’s the important thing! Nice instructional work. 🙂

[Moiez]

You're a great teacher and a great personality, man! I love the confidence you have when you compare yourself to other teachers. Gotta market yourself eh. Would def take your lessons if i lived in your area

Yo I love this video lol this makes the turns so freaking simple, I feel slow for making it so complicated in my head 🤦🏽‍♂️ I feel like going out tonight but I’ve been hitting it for 4 nights straight already lol

[Dj_RyGaR]
