ABOUT DANCE DOJO
👋 Who are we?
Hi my name is Robin and I'm no different than you. A few years ago I started learning salsa. After struggling for a while I found some great mentors and the rest is history. Now I travel the world dancing, teaming up with amazing teachers and growing Dance Dojo - the deeply detailed online dance lessons I wish I had when I started. My goal is to help as many of you enjoy the same rewards I've been lucky enough to experience through dance. Join me if you'd like to meet amazing new people, leave stress behind, connect to music in a whole new way and feel more alive. Life only gets more colorful - just take the first step.
Cheers,
Robin

Please do that again with a new routine

[@thedancedojo]

I'll keep it mind ;) -Robin

[@mindymorin8273]

Damn!! You two make even the Level 1 stuff look slick. This video just showed me I can look stylish even with a limited dance floor vocabulary. I’m so pumped!!!

[@thedancedojo]

thanks! And you sure can ;) -robin

[@ty90210]

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

This is the greatest educational salsa video I’ve ever watched

[@thedancedojo]

That means a lot 🙏 -Robin

@@thedancedojo you deserve it my man Not proud of it but I’m a very very stingy subscriber I’ll subscribe only if a channel actually entertains me for more than 10-15 hours You got me to subscribe with a single vid! Looking forward to more stuff

[@svtran]

Amazing. I like the breakdowns and addons. Thank you

[@thedancedojo]

@@svtran Right on, glad it was a good format for you! -robin

[@thedancedojo]

New video concept. What'd you think? If you wanna learn how to improvise like this on the fly for social dancing and adjust to partners of all levels our online program will take you there. Try it free: thedancedojo.com/product/free-trial

[@michaelpigneguy6864]

modules make so much sense, thank you

[@intrinsicload]

This is a great video concept! Hope you make more. PS: What's the difference between a lock and a loop? I figured it was just: with a lock you "pin" her hand to wherever it is, but then again, at 3:14, you label that as a "lock" but you let go immediately, so i'm confused

[@thedancedojo]

@@intrinsicload just interchangeable words. I typically use the word loop when im making a more circular shape around the head. You can do a lock and reverse it (not let go of the hand) or do a lock and drop (let go of the hand). -robin

[@intrinsicload]

@@thedancedojo thank you!

[@steveolivares8746]

Thanks for doing this. I cant express how much I appreciate the knowledge you are sharing with the community.

Wow. It's all starting to come together 😊. Thank you ❤

[@B7_S4_Turbo]

EXCELLENT. i need more 😊

[@letsgo_inc]

I am an intermediate lead and can put together a few fancy things but the smash hit at my last social was essentially...right walk into crossbody lead...done when we are side to side. It overshadowed the copas, flairs and inside turns I did into and out of it...to the point that follows were asking me where I learned it since they had apparently never done it that way before. The basics, jazzed up a bit, and strung together in unique ways can make their night.

[@thedancedojo]

Absolutely! Have any video of the move you mentioned? I can't quite imagine it. -Robin

[@letsgo_inc]

@@thedancedojo no but I will attempt to describe it. It starts from when I am shadowed behind the follow, right to right, left to left. I got there usually by an inside turn ending in shadow or just having her walk into it. From there, she literally does a right walk with me leading it from behind for the first 8 counts which ends with us facing 180 from where we started. Next 8, she does crossbody footwork, again I am shadowed behind. It finishes in the exact spot and position we started. I never cross the track. The footwork and handwork is crazy simple, just need to get the timing pretty perfect to lead the 180 turns at either end. So many ways to insert checks, flairs, turns before after and apparently...no one else had done it at least around here.

[@thedancedojo]

@@letsgo_inc Gotcha, I think I can imagine what you're describing. cool man! always nice to surprise them :)

[@Gaminiheraliyawala]

Excellent teaching of Salsa, thank you for lessons delivered. Enjoyed it very well.... 👌👌👌👌

[@thedancedojo]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks a lot 🙏 -Robin

[@ryogaz22]

Yes, I enjoyed this video. What I learn is that there is more you can do with simple moves. Less is more.

100%! Thanks my man. Appreciate you watching :) -Robin

Wow I really enjoyed this way of teaching! Please do more

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks for letting me know! glad you enjoyed it. -robin

[@costaspaximadas7556]

This is the correct way to teach! Starting "dumb" easy, 😉, and upping the ante as you go! Even I, 😅, can hopefully learn and fraggin' *remember* it, 😅, at a social! Keep up the good, detailed work Robin, much appreciated, especially for those of us who started salsa rather late in life (I'm a "youthful" 61...😏😉)...👍❤️

[@thedancedojo]

Right on man. So happy you enjoyed the format! I'm always trying to find a way to make things clearer. Glad this one worked out. -Robin

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks, glad you liked the approach!

[@evangelizarEC]

Sweet. I like the modularity aspect on how you laid it out. Great job!

[@thedancedojo]

Glad you liked it. Just sharing how I like to break things down in my own mind. -Robin

[@peterhicks]

Exactly what I was looking for, love the fact that you’re teaching moves and not sequences, love it. Practicing the leader part alone, without a partner going to be, challenging but, I’m up for it. Thank you sooo much Peter. :-))

[@thedancedojo]

Sounds like you're up for the challenge 🙌 Thanks for watching amigo. -Robin

[@MrRmccoy]

Thanks for the response. Can I make a suggestion, only on my behalf. Your demonstrations move in left and right directional angles. Can you include front and back angles. That way, we can follow your moves better: I step where you step

[@Kali_111]

That was awesome

[@thedancedojo]

Glad you liked it!

Another geat video. I really like how you break things down. May I ask you where you got that t-shirt from? It looks cool.

2 full minutes of bla bla bla. I couldn’t get passed that.

[@loudcloud1499]

it's okay you can skip to 2:52 and jump right in. some of us like the conversational opening because it animates the socialness of salsa
