🇨🇺 Adding Movement to Your Casino (Desplazamientos)

Love these videos too. Started Cuban Salsa classes in Gourock, Inverclyde with Paul, at Buddies Salsa. Always good to practise your footwork.

[@vchris348]

I'm glad you started a specific video on this--those subtleties of the count and crossing over at an arc, as you explained, are critical in making this move as smooth as possible. Miles gracias, hermano!

[@MessinaDance]

I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching 🙏

[@evebali]

OMG thank you so much for this. I was literally practicing the whole sequence 2 days ago with a friend and the amount of time we rewind the clip was insane haha. Thanks Steven! 💚

[@MessinaDance]

Awesome! If there's other combos you liked from class, put a link and we can go over them on a Wednesday!

[@kynorexia]

Superb! Thank you so much! I've only been dancing for a few months! These movements can be used to build a full-fledged dance, instead of using an annoying guaperea! 😺

[@northvashista]

Helpful! Thanks!

[@MessinaDance]

Thanks man 🙏

You got to come out to NY

[@bernardocabada6015]

Thank you for this, I’ve been looking for a way to spice up basics while I think through next steps

@bernardocabada6015 I'm glad!!!! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@5.dot.connector]

the crossing step is called "cruzado".. doing it with a partner might be called "Enroscala" by some (whatever that means?!)

[@MessinaDance]

🙏 Enrosca is wind/wrap her

[@5.dot.connector]

just looking up Enrosca you'll find a slew of different turns and walks that in some place or another are called Enrosca.. so it might be wrong.. I found Enrosca used for the cruzado-dezpalciamento in a video by Havana club, Tel Aviv. Their lead instructor, Moti Sabag is an amazing dancer with undeniable experience, so I took this for reference.

[@tonkafunk26]

It is actually, Entróscala.

@3:37 my teacher in Cuba calls "Son step #2" and @4:40 "Son Step 3". Lo.

[@MessinaDance]

...no sh!t!?!?!?

[@h3ss1]

@@MessinaDance For the "forward and back" my instructor, Nick Van Eyck, calls it "Son Montuno", and that's what I call it when I teach as well...

[@shaolin1derpalm]

@@MessinaDance she doesn't have names for the steps other than tornillo and one or 2 others.
