In this demo you will see most of the elements we teach in the course.
Of course Cuban salsa is very complex, you will continue to study for many more years and feel that you still have to learn a lot.
But if you look at a dance of thousands of dancers, you will see that 90% of their dance consists of what you will learn here in a beginners course.
So this is how we hope you will dance at the end of the course.
The wonderful song that is played in practice and demonstration is:
Coquimbo Tiene - Songoloka
During the lessons we practice with music, which we play from a highly recommended app: The Salsa Beat Machine
It can be used on the website through a computer browser at - https://salsabeatmachine.org/
Or download it to your mobile phone from the app stores called - Salsa Rhythm :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.salsarhythm
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/salsa-rhythm-the-latin-dance-practice-tool/id379868541
This app is great for understanding the rhythm in the beginning, but of course there is nothing like real music and we recommend you listen to Cuban music, which you can find in the various apps for streaming music and of course on YouTube.

The basic dance steps are the ones that build the whole dance and we really recommend that you repeat it several times until you perform the steps smoothly.
