Hey! I'm one of those syncopated on2 dancers, and no - this isn't a failed attempt at tiempo or contratiempo on2! I guess, for me, it naturally developed as a way of negotiating timing with tiempo/ET on2 dancers who, in the UK at least, largely don't do contratiempo on2. So, I dance contratiempo with contratiempo dancers, and syncopated with tiempo dancers. Why? Because unless the music calls for it, eg introduces cowbells, I'm not dancing tiempo - I feel I might as well be dancing on1, which doesn't match my groove! So, yeah, hope that provides some insight into the mind of a syncopated on2 dancer! Thanks for making me reflect on this, though, and for a great video!

EXCELLENT. i need more 😊

My third time through this lesson

how is called the moves at 4:11 (it looks like a crosse body lead followed by a right turn

Amazing how you took care of yourself and learnt these lessons. Wishing you further a lot of health and fun. It can only get better ✨

Thank you so much for the whole serie, amazing and super helpful work 🙏🏼

I'm not sure if arguing that something is the most effective thing matters for something like dancing. I doubt people are doing that to be efficient. Not sure how many people are learning salsa competitively. Moving with grace and beauty is often not the most effective thing to do. Pointing your feet out looks really goofy. You're probably exaggerating for pedagogic reasons, I get that. Also questioning the why behind everything when you are really new to something (this video discusses salsa basics) can be really overwhelming. I don't think it's bad teaching to just take things and go with it as a complete novice, and start questioning things when you have a bit more experience.

This video is a game changer !!!!!!! More of these please ???

Is every salsa dance move on 3 steps?

THIS SAVED MY LIFE!! I am in my 50s and never knew this!!!

Literally can't tell the difference.

difficult. I don't hear the 1 😪

thank you. but without your indications I would not be able to find the 1 in this Salsa song.

For me the most important part was 10:02 to 10:16... Thank you for this very useful video 😊😊

This course was so much fun, I loved that you showed musicality and beat in non salsa and also with salsa songs!

Congratulation I liked this video lesson. It is well explained.

Hey, how i can be sure that salsa not for me? solo gets ok, but what with partners i forget very quick and feel so confusion about it and based on my self confidence got super low. and in salsa events i feel so stressful...😢

Really enjoyed this video & the break down as well as the overall message - social dancing freestyling one simple move at a time...Thx!

I’m starting salsa dancing, but I feel what you said about having a good posture. It’s really easy to transmit what you’re wanting to do as a lead and having the follow respond to what you want them to do through your arms

for leading double + turns would you suggest standing on the left side of line for more control

Question was this on 1? Because it seems you started on your left going forward.

Very helpful, thank you, Robbin!

So turn on the 5 count?😕

I like your teaching stule

Has anyone with a type of Aspergers syndrome, etc, ever been able to dance salsa? The problem is people with this condition like myself have absolutely zero balance.

I fainted at 250 bpm. When I work up, I had missed all of 260, 270, 280, 290 but caught up with 300 which was playing.

Inside turn : tourne en direction de la main droite du follower Outside turn : tourne en direction de sa main gauche du follower Pour le follower

Hola, ¿por qué no simplemente les llaman a los movimientos como debe ser, universalmente se llama Cross Body Lead?

Great🎉series. Made it easier

Great. Thanks!

Tracing, thanks for the tip!

Fantastic video! So easy to understand! Thank you for sharing ! All very clear now. ❤

tracing

This is your best vid

"Pass through the middle" aha!

Learning ballroom dance and this is the hardest part. Musically, I don't see any difference between the 1 and the other beats. Try to understand how different tempos fit different dances.. I'll keep watching these until the light comes on..

Loved it ❤ What's the background song called please?

Man, I’ve been watching this whole series as add-on to my in person classes and I have made significant progress, I will definitely buy the course as soon as I’m done with this playlist Thanks!

I would love to give all your videos double thumbs up :) ❤ Awesome classes!

Amazing. I like the breakdowns and addons. Thank you

that's what I need!! perfect!! will train with this a looootttt, the feedback on if what we do is right or not, is sooooo important as a new person to this

I have a question about inside and outside turns as the follower. How do we know if the lead is intending for us to do inside or outside turns? I get confused and turn the opposite way 😅

Thank you!

Hello, how are you finding where 1 and 5 by clave rythm? May be you have some tips how to practice in finding 1, 5?

nice touch showing all the separate angles, very basic but informative

I cant see leading here

Thank you for the advice! Haven't been able ro do a double turn yet.

Why I feel like a robot when doing this? 😬

Muy bueno! This will help me spice up my boring cross body😂😂

Not agreeing with most of your explanations
