  • Hour ONE: FIND THE REAL SALSA GROOVE - Intro to Basic Steps, Turns, Shines, Drills & Partner Work1:03:34

    This is it!  This is where you will begin to feel the Salsa groove.  It's your Salsa "bible" Nothing in the entire course is more important than this first hour!  It's your introduction to the timing, the beat, the count and ALL your basic steps. Once you've mastered them, you will easilylearn how to put them together in your basic partnerwork!  AMAZING!  It all fits together like a puzzle.  This hour also includes your first turns and open shines.

    If you practice enough, so that your bones and muscles remember the moves, (it really doesn't take very long!) you will be on your way to the Salsa clubs and endless smiles after the very first lesson. 

    This video contains 6 Segments and 21 elements.

Requirements

  • <b>Shoes:</b> Comfortable shoes with leather or other hard soles that are somewhat slippery and will not catch on carpets or smooth floors. You want to be able to spin and slide... not stick.
  • <b>Time (and a commitment) to practice:</b> The work in this course gets more complex with each hour and it is important to be able to practice until you can make each move natural, easy and your own. You're going for "muscle memory". This is a total sensory experience: You have to feel the rhythm, the count, the patterns, the connections, the music and of course, your partner. You will want to "own" each move and PRACTICE/REPETITION is the ONLY way.
  • <b>A Practice Partner:</b> You can memorize every step, turn and shine in the world, but until you put it together with a partner, it isn't SALSA! Try to find someone with similar interests and goals as yourself or even someone with more dance experience and remember to ALWAYS HAVE FUN while learning. This should be a happy experience for you.
  • <b>A "CAN DO" attitude:</b> SALSA is FUN! It shouldn't be stressful or competitive. Work at your own pace... Take as much time as you need for each hour, but enjoy yourself! Feel the magic of the movement and the music! This course can really change your life!

SEAON STYLIST-BRISTOL, a master teacher with more than 15 years of experience breaks SALSA down into a series of simple, basic, steps, moves and turns that fit together like pieces of a puzzle. He has been teaching, choreographing and performing his unique SALSA techniques and stylings all over the world at SALSA events, festivals and congresses. Now, in this brand new introductory course he will teach YOU everything you need to know to get started having fun and dancing at any Latin Dance Club or SALSA event locally, or anywhere in the world! Once you learn the basics, there will be no stopping you!

It's been proven beyond a doubt: SALSA dancing is one of the happiest ways to meet people, spend a night out on the town or even throw a party with friends. SALSA is known for its high energy, hot and even sexy moves, but it doesn't stop there. It's also energetic, rhythmic and an ever-growing, equal-opportunity, worldwide movement and phenomenon that never gets old, never discriminates and never goes out of style!

The course includes 5 hour-long videos, each one containing 5 or 6 segments, each segment teaching 1 to 3 new moves or combining moves learned previously, plus many extras

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for ANYONE who has ever wanted to learn SALSA, age 8 to 88. Total beginners and dancers with some experience will LOVE this course and Seaon's unique style of teaching.
  • ANYONE looking for an easy and fun way to meet that special someone for dancing, dating or just having fun! Guys who want to meet girls, Girls who want to meet guys or any other combo.
  • Experienced dancers who want to brush up on their technique and learn some new moves.
