6 Turn Pattern System of Salsa

[@zacharyhughes8783]

As a lead, this is the exact information I’ve been asking salsa/dance instructors to give me for years (to no avail). Fantastic video. Gives me six starting points (steps) to master before learning their variations. Bravo.

[@rajiyer5449]

It is in their interest not to make it simple. Unless they are losing repeat customers. But any teacher who doest nail the basics is not worth the time. Get the basics, take inspiration from great dancers and create your own routines.

Just started taking private lessons and I'm learning salsa. This video literally turned what I was seeing as graduate level calculus into basic math in terms of understanding the majority of salsa dancing. It looks so complex but it's so easy once you simplify it like you did in this video! Thank you so much! I can't wait to practice and become comfortable w/ social salsa dancing.

[@flaviosilvio5154]

Gratidão. Bem didáticos. Parabéns.

[@felipehoyos2521]

6 turn patterns: In front of the lead: 5:48 Single right turn (Exhíbela) 5:54 Single left turn To the left of the lead 6:28 Cross budy turn inside (left) 6:58 Cross body turn outside (right) To the right of the lead 7:35 Enchufa (left) 8:16 Reverse cross body turn (right)

[@salsaventura]

Great job!

[@PedroMachadoPT]

First useful salsa instruction video I have seen in the Internet.

[@superAweber]

Ground breaking. I gave up on salsa because I couldn't progress efficiently, all I could feel was frustration. If I ever return, this man will be my guide.

[@salsaventura]

More than happy and honored to be your guide. Please check out www.salsaventura.tv

[@JamesDonatelli]

Slow start, but worth the wait. It is a really great video showing the basic building blocks of turn patterns in a way than makes it much easier to remember. Great learning format! More dance teachers should use this approach to teaching salsa. Thank You Salsaventura!

Hi James, thank you so much for the compliment. Truly appeciate it. Please check out more at salsaventura.tv/

[@marcg6226]

Ok. This is genius. Combine this with the ways of holding hands and you get not only fillers for socials, but it makes it even easier to learn new sequences (this turn with that hand position). Lighbulb moment video.

[@torewaldeland5478]

Fantastic. You are so spot on. I am starting from scratch for the third time, as everything I have learned is "forgotten". But watching your short, no-nonsens, straight to the point videos makes everything come back to me. Thank you so, so much for these videos. They bring more value than the most expensive Salsa classes.

[@tamvannguyen8644]

One of the few incredible dancing instructors on earth.

[@PedroMachadoPT]

I think he's credible.

[@haba_15]

Guy learns 258 moves, but lucky to remember 30 of them once he hits the dance floor. Any technique to help memory is great; I like this logical approach, thank you

[@crazychicken0378]

Spitting wisdom so profound I come back to watch this video weekly

[@pedroproenca4613]

This is the most important Salsa vídeo I have ever seen! Thanks, You are great.

[@jimparfitt2330]

You described exactly my experience! Very useful and wise instruction. Altho i am dancing on 2, this is really useful to me. I especially appreciate the info about why it is that my mind becomes totally blank at the dance!! And this is how my brain works also...realizing that we are only doing a few essential moves, rather than getting caught up in so many details that of course go out the window when the girl is in front of me! I'll check out your other offerings.

[@anulka009]

Genius way of explaining things.... It's so helpful to see the "menu" of all pattern options (or at least their basic structure)! It makes it so much more manageable to learn and not get overwhelmed. Thanks for this great series of videos

[@traceycroxford8880]

Fabulous dance teacher!

[@memoranda1]

this is so helpful....and what he described about remembering all your turns it's true. I freeze on the dance floor when i am dancing with a girl because i trying to remember what moves to do and if she knows it. I end up looking like a one trick pony with my basic turn....before i watched this video.....i actually started using the Enchufa or open break as they call it and it's such a helpful turn because i know how to do it. I am taking Salsa lessons and to be honest it focuses more on the moves than on the footwork itself. I have seen guys doing many turns on the dance floor that have nothing to do with the rhythm of the song. Us Latino people dance with the rhythm of the song. Thank you for your helpful video...god bless you

[@salsaventura]

More than welcome!

[@LongRode]

Been taking lessons for a few months and just as he says "Get to the dance floor and can't recall the turn patterns. This video is GOLD and makes it all so much easier to take in. A great tutorial. Thankyou and greeting from Downunder.

[@iteachsalsamarcusbodycodin338]

0:12 Intro + Advice 4:00 The System - Examples *THE SYSTEM:* (5:30) : 1. Single Right Turn (5:50) 2. Single Left Turn 3. Inside Cross Body Turn (6:20) 4. Outside Cross Body Turn (6:48) 5️. Enchufla (7:30) 6️. Reverse Cross Body Turn (8:10) ------- **I like this SIMPLE salsa system! I also created a salsa system that include more steps ------- 👆 can't agree with you more! : _As a leader focusing on the follower's turns and not on your own_ that's why in my 30 -day course that I created - only in days 21-30 the leaders start to learn turns. Have a great day!!

[@zkhandwala]

Solid video; well done! This is how I've always thought about salsa, though I also add a seventh turn: the reverse cross body turn inside. I agree it's not as commonly danced, but I've found that followers find it to be a nice surprise.

[@salsaventura]

That one is in our system #2

[@filipecasimiroVideo]

@@salsaventura where? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@theseus780]

Incredible video! I feel like I've found a kindred spirit. I break down Lindy Hop (aka Swing Dancing) the same way that you break down Salsa. With 3 Variables (Who turns, Direction of turn, and Where the turn happens) to play around with in a Basic Swing-out means exactly 100 Variations. It's an amazing way to teach! Bravo! I can't wait to see your hand-holds video. You count 7, I count 8. My guess is that you don't count hands-free. Oh and I love that you also include Hand Elevation (over head, shoulder and waist high). I can't wait to watch your other videos.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thankful for the individual that stated the dancing started at 4:10 (maybe something to put in the description) but I absolutely loved the instruction. Also read the description and loved that too!! You showed moves at a good pace and gave me something solid to practice. I can learn these 6 basic steps/turns and feel like I’m doing more then my same old basic steps. Looking forward to mastering this so I can use my “emotional” brain on the dance floor, connect, and have fun. Thank you so much. This is now my salsa learning channel!!!

Great video and instruction. If it’s not in another video please tell us how you are pumping the follows hand to prep her turns? I think this is why some of my turns don’t go well on the dance floor.

[@salsaventura]

What do you mean with 'pumping the follows hand'

[@guygutierrez263]

Look at 6:28 as he does the inside cross body turn. I see a lot of leads do this. I haven’t learned it and I am wondering if this is a solid way for follows to understand what is being lead.

[@CanadaChap]

Great instruction. I'm a beginner (lead), I don't know yet how to give the follower the hand or body language signals with push, pull, stop, to indicate which way the next turn will be. At 5:53 there are 4 different pushes/pulls of the lead's left hand. How does the follow know what the lead eventually intends? I try to give signals by hand positions but my partner and I end up stopping our movement and she's looking at me confused. I've also seen leads leading the follow into turns with some muscle. I thought I could give subtle hand pushes/pulls/tosses to indicate how the next turn will go but it's leaving the follow confused.

yep he is so right , a few moves in different sequences that are done well with passion, expression right timing and footwork (flow) is by far better tons of moves poorly done . lead to the dance ability of the lady you are dancing with so they have fun , and want to come back the next time .

Will this work for Bachata? I have a feeling that adjusting for footwork and timing this system will still apply.

[@ForrestOutman]

I'm curious why you don't include inside turns that pass on the right side turning on 5,6,7? It seems the more natural choice as it relates to the same forward breaking basic used in all the other figures. I teach very similar with that exception. I teach back breaking figures all together as well, such as you see in Cumbia and Casino.

@@salsaventura yes I discovered it during teaching about 5 years ago😊

[@bellafernandes4692]

To both Anna & Salsaventura. There are more than 6 turns if you are speaking from the Ladies perspective. When measuring both left, right, and front of the lead only. I have been teaching for 25 years and 6 is an inaccurate measure. And I am not speaking of hand positions, but rather ladies footwork in relation to the man.
