Look Natural Salsa Dancing

Given today is Addicted2Salsa's 4th birthday, it is time for a new salsa dance video. There have been several salsa dance videos of patterns and steps over the years, however, I wanted to address a few fundamentals that sometimes are not addressed in some salsa dance classes. Hopefully, for some of our beginner dancers, this video will make your basic step look and feel more comfortable at the club. For our fans looking for something more complicated, don't worry - it is on its way.

Practice tip

Drill the rhythm in place before you travel with it. Once the weight transfer feels natural, try adding the step in short bursts during a song instead of forcing it for the entire track.

Why this helps on the social floor

Footwork like this gives you more personality without needing a large amount of space. It is especially useful when the music opens up and you want to show rhythm without abandoning control.
