06 World Salsa Championships: 2nd place on2 division

Junior & Emily Alabi
Representing Korea & El Salvador Living In San Francisco, CA

[@TheHappyBrochacho]

TO all you saying this is not salsa. Let me remind you this is a world championship. It's all about choreography and set moves. If you knew anything about that you would know that this performance was ON POINT!! If you're looking for simpler dancing go to a salsa club or salsa social, and if you would still like to talk about their dancing skills, then go dance with either of them socially. I have danced with Emily and she is an amazing follow and Junior a great lead for women.

[@bompy84]

Bravo Junior n' Emily Alabi... You both are an example for the youth!!! Great for the Latin Symbolics n' great for the New York Style!!!

[@stifflerr]

I love these!! they are really nice and fast salsa dancers , love watching every figure...

[@yazyh]

[@petunia2006]

diosssssssssssssss demasiado buena esa coreografia son excelentes de verdad que mil felicitaciones

[@nicopsico]

Me gusta mucho las vueltas.. gracias por la demostracion..

[@gitau]

Yes! This is competitive salsas dancing at its best. Beautiful interpretation of the music, nice spins, exact coreography. One of my favorite! Just a pitty it has no intro...

[@Killalegs1]

Amazing it's good to see real salsa.

[@mcken32]

Her spinning in incredible for all those spins she was doing, changing hand combinations at the same time. If that were me in her shoes right now, the performance would be all over in 3 seconds.

[@GJulie21]

Choregraphie super bien exécutée ! J'adore

[@kapamaroyGR]

I feel dizzy already.... I enjoy more, watching simple people dancing simple salsa

[@Tchalla77]

Thanks for the comment moraiwe!Sometimes wonder if the art of'true dancing',ie sincere rhythmic interpretation of the music,is the virtual preserve of a select few, usually of Cuban, Puerto Rican and (Black)Columbian heritage.Honestly believe the best dancing evolves from a dancer's response to the 'feel' rather than mere tempo of the music.

[@severstreet34]

So for all of u people saying that this is not salsa.. i pose the questions: 1) How should salsa competitions be judged if salsa dancing is not about spins and moves? 2) Do you know the difference between social dancing and choreographed dance? ==> also, if u say that they are not feeling the music, ur probly wrong. in order to dance on2 u have to feel the tumbao rhythm (drum). when ppl first learn, they sometimes dont feel it but once they are comfortable with the rhythm.. it is all feeling.

[@TheMiru25]

they are the most goodest dansers I ever see for the momment

[@ColonelCake1]

me gusto bastante aunque no tuvo mucho baile no hay duda que q fue una coreografia muy creativa y que tienen una habilidad para las vueltas asombrosa

[@anchan789video]

Very Good... i'm loving it... so passionate..

[@dsilva1967]

I agree in the too much spinning and more gymnastics dance, salsa is the mix of cha cha mambo and afro caribenos dance, means hips, waist movement, steps according with the conga, spin, and a lot of sugar. It's understanding it is a competition but not lose the means of the salsa.

[@vagnerdarocha]

truta doido demais mano, boladona essa essa treta, é nóis de betim-MG Brazil

[@09SourApple]

amazing

[@StreamerHouse]

Fantastic channel, bookmarked

[@osterontest]

[@PepeQlan]

I agree with you, amazing is only this speed...

[@666veron]

WOW !!! J'ai le tournis juste à les regarder ^^ Belle dynamique et ils ne perdent pas le rythme.

[@benJ972]

muchas gracias por la informacion....

[@Rnbangel]

woooow!!!! I would fall down after all those spins... :p love it!

[@Tchalla77]

Hey, no one can doubt this was yet another great performance from the precociously young duo. Quality intro, and nice interpretation, just needed more genuine dancing and rhythmic feel of the music, as opposed to multiple spinning. Would like to see these guys dancin' to something a l'il slower, that would allow for more time for expression.

[@GoldenExotical]

esta canción es llamada La Pelota canta Ray Barreto .........................this song is called La Pelota by Ray Barreto

[@UnoSemper]

LOVE IT , LOVE IT LOVE ITTTT.....

[@Annadance33]

Madre mia una pasada!!!!!!

[@ABANICOSANYO]

tremenda! Salsa!.....great moves!, hey haters gotta have something to do, keep up the good work guys!

[@ewmelton]

Sadly the same people are posting cruel and negative remarks as from a few days earlier I'm sure they've never competed in a contest of any type in their life Once again not one positive remark just mean spirited comments If this couple or any other couple were their family members would they post the same inconsiderate remarks Fortunately most competitors will not be affected by this type of behavior Lets support any and all efforts to help this form of dance and all its divergent styles grow.

[@rubiyjoshua]

just amazing...

[@DiaSonrisa21]

Outstanding!!!!

[@agustinlazaro]

Bailan impresionante. Ella es Bellisima

[@Mind-Body-Hack]

I love dancing salsa. You feel the music and you dance it with feelings. This couple is good but i have to agree to some comment on this board its more like a circus,no feelings, no grace at all!

[@ChilenoPiscean22]

Holy fuck if this is second place i cant even imagine how good the 1st place was. AMAZING ROUTINE!

[@Obsession37]

i agree with kiddo. anyone who dances salsa knows, girls love spinning, thus, spin them. its not all technique, ask a random girl in the club to dance, its no longer rehearsed,then the dance is led by the skill/passion of both dancers

[@vikkigerrard]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amazing!!!

[@DeliciaBrasileira]

IMPRESSIONANTE!!!!!!!

[@MissCleo1986]

it kind of looks like the footage has been sped up but the sound has been kept normal.

[@ShaiMyst]

depends on what kind of salsa u mean. cause when u look at cuban club style its vastly different to american standard ballroom salsa dancing...so what is ur basis for ur statement. from what perspective do u make it?

[@vangelis1978]

@saleen715 No hip movement in Salsa Dancing is involved. What exactly do you have in mind when saying "Salsa dancing" ? I dance over a year now, on a very frequent basis and I can asssure you this is world class Salsa Dancing.

[@SupremeDarkLordVader]

That was awesome!!!

[@andytorocks]

thnks

[@cpcrecords]

Tremenda salsa, chequea tambien a "RPM - El Negro Bembon" otra gran interpretacion.

[@featapacheco]

oye mi carlitoson !! me podrias decir el nombre de la cancion por favor la verdad me gusto mucho el video y tambien la cancion por favor gracias espero y me conteste.. ciao... saludos...

[@fanficluvano1]

AMAZING!

[@silence6210]

I must agree with some of the previous comments on this particular video. Many of you have recognized that this did lose a lot of its grace and didn't emphasize on the basic dance steps of salsa. However, thankfully this was not the routine that got them second. I think what they were trying to do was hoping that their emphasis on the endurance and accuracy of her spinning would win. But once again all they did was repeat alot of turns and spins failing to perform basics.

[@ZeZhOmArU]

bilan excelente los vi en el mundia por espn vi la mayoria de los bailarines y fue una competencia reñida aun q muchos giros mas que baile igual les reconosco el esfuerzo, los clombianos son mas rapidos con los pies =)

[@dyanayguillermo]

como se llama la cancion que bailaron??? o kien la canta??? por favor diganme!!!!!!

[@yannymeiho]

they are REALLY good

[@featapacheco]

quiero saber el nombre de la cancion y quien la canta por favor si son amables de decirme gracias por su atencion , es que la verdad esta bonita la cancion de ese video y los pasos ni se digan ok gracias un video muy chido gracias y espero su atencion..

[@TheLanifaid]

super bien esa coreografia, una pregunta como se llama l a cancion qu eusaron para la coreografia

[@gkhoztas]

it is wonderful

[@Dante19883]

whats the name of this song please

[@frees7yler]

If you mute the music, it's clearly visible whether the dance is on1 or on2.The place of the pause makes the structure of the dance so different that it should be mistaken only by beginners. Especially if it has been performed by excellent dancers. Personally - there are songs that make me dance on1, others - on2. Maybe I am awfully wrong, but the song "La Pelota" doesn't inspire me to dance on2.

[@luvbutters]

Fascinanteeeeeee!!!, no me canso de ver ese video... Podría alguien decirme el nombre de la canción que bailan en ese video??? :) aushhhh! es que me encanta... Bueno...gracias arribaaaaaa Junior y Emily, simplemnte los mejores!!! ciaoo

[@KiiraM92]

esta genial! de Q pais son? pasuuu!! bailan muy bien!

[@fabrizziosalsa]

hola me podrian decir el nombre del tema de este baile gracias

[@cveta9]

The real salsa is in the clubs and salsa is not about turning 20 times like a robot...it's about having fun, flirt, seduce and most important...Felling free.

[@salserinritmoysalsa]

la cancion se llama la pelota de rey varreto esta en el ares

[@zvenky]

how can you say lol....its so beautiful...

[@freire31]

si eso es salsa mi abuela es cosmonauta eso lo que es una gran actuacion de circo donde todos esas vueltas estan muy bien cordinadas con los movimientos de los brazos,donde esta el ritmo,el movimiento del cuerpo al compas de la musica,no jodan eo es tremenda practica de gimnastica,ve a los cubanos bailar la salsa,y quedaran encanados chao y gracias

[@lelikg]

amazing!

[@cecemarie831]

that was sick, amazing

[@Viviennnnnnn]

i adore

[@Rhesydentt]

Sensacional!

[@Noncsi11]

Bravo!!!!

[@mcken32]

That sounds more along the line of ballroom dancing than salsa dancing. When u dance to a fast pace beat like this, how big of step can u take to fill up the stage.

[@Nataliayyy]

ESPECTACULARRR!!!

[@giove280974]

infatti è una coreografia fatta ad hoc per arrivare secondi al campionato del mondo di salsa....se li guardi ballare in sala sono molto diversi....

[@elemartin]

son estupendos, ella es muy elegante, ¿alguien sabe quien quedo primero? debian ser buenisimos.

[@lisielle07]

magnifique!!!!

[@ReubenSalsaLatina]

FYI - This is Salsa On2 (Mambo). It's not ballroom as the previous person has mentioned. If you have done ballroom you would know the difference. This is choreographed for this performance as you need to at this world class level. Emily & Junior are also some of the best I have seen social dancing too, so they can do freestyle and kick ass. I love this routine but also agree they have done to many turns, but that is their own style. Salsa should be dancing how you want! happy dancing ;-)

[@YRSLM]

this couple should be the first one !

[@ausdemnorden]

Does anyone know the name of the artist of this song?

[@milenka3000]

uffff que buena cancion......para ser koreanos lo hizieron muy bien......ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR EL NOMBRE DE LA CANCION Y ORQUESTA???....Gracias....

[@joselitube78]

@gerardoblack absolutamente de acuerdo contigo, tienes razon

[@Cristhiam20]

tienes razon buena sincronizacion, si este es el segundo lugar, pucha como sera el primero O_O!! wow good luck to all

[@ShaiMyst]

again what do u mean by accurate. so many different forms of salsa. the question u should ask first is which kind they were attempting to do then go from there

[@jorgeaguas]

alma salsera amazing original

[@abab999ab]

@12nunchaku i agree. its nice but i did not see them adance ONE step. I just saw some little movement or something. I loooove ballroom, i have doen it myself, but i hate it when they forget about the DANCING PART!

[@adorenarin1]

Insane!!! Great!!

[@Laflacadance]

come si chiama la canzone??grazie

[@Jazzomite1]

Ese video es maginifico! Como solamente ganaron Segundo???

[@footbossez]

sorry what is the name of this song?

[@Ibhelize]

I agree with Cubaturn, so much more that could have been done in there. . .

[@AngeloKoolman]

si le gustaria ver la salsa,con sabrosura,miren el clip de salsa cubana yanek y diana creo es grabada en cuba,el arte es abstracto asi que cada quien con su criterio,y porfavor no mesclen politica con baile mirenlo si quieren y disfrutenlo

[@Atalantis23]

impresionnant on se demande toujours comment ils font pour ne pas avoir la tete en purée apres autant de tours d'affilée !

[@GoldenExotical]

¿cuál es el nombre de esta canción?

[@oldschoolrey123]

yo in took lessons with that guy...jr......hes really good at the salsa....i agree, it wouldve looked better if it wasnt so up tight....wut i focus on with my salsa dancing is to have fun even wen im preforming do the dance right but have fun doing it!!!!

[@bumitka]

wow, it was amazing :)

[@glam05]

i meant to spell technique..(oops lol) and i meant to put "less turns, EVEN though those turns were difficult"

[@120473pc]

Can someone plz post the title of the song ?tnx.

[@MasinaTai86]

both the man and woman are AMAZING.. these guys only got 2nd place?? dayumn! better see the 1st!! lol
