Many many thanks!

[@mairena2000]

The more I watch this video the more I like it the more I appreciate the moves you teach. Very concise, love the different angles you show, no talking, right to the point. You are simply the BEST

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, we really appreciate you!

[@Dragonaight]

Awesome thank you for this!!!

[@MrRusee44]

Hey Guys, I've just came across this video. Honestly this is the best beginner routine video on KZbin! Few of them are a bit intermediate but this content is huge amount of value! Thank you

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

That’s true, at the end we included some move which are a bit more complicated. We are so happy you like it, thank you for your comment! 😊

[@mrrownel]

I concur fully! I have looked at several beginner videos and this is the most comprehensive and easy to follow. Big thanks!

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you 🤗

[@arshy4773]

Супер! Спасибо! Вы молодцы!

[@Cruskxp]

My dream is to have a parnet to practice all this moves with.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

We hope you will finde someone! 🤗 but you can also always practice without a partner

[@Conormcnproductions]

maybe you can also try it with a friend

[@Reynaldo-zr3zc]

Lmfao ..why u put that on here

[@BWater-yq3jx]

Everyone needs a parnet.

[@user-ci7ls5wt5q]

I would love to be your partner

[@fayzzzsaechao1755]

Great video! I love how they start out with music and the basics from different perspectives. It doesn't waste time talking and breaking things down so much that the viewer loses interest.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much! 😊 so happy you like it and thank you so much for the feedback!

[@peterhicks]

Absolutely loved this/your video. Thank you 😊

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@acpjr]

This is video is very good. I *love* the exaggerated prep on 3-4 when doing the "change places" and other moves. We beginners must know exactly when to prep.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Happy you like it! 😊 yes we try to put a lot of emphasis in the preparation because we feel it is very important to have a smooth and nice dance

[@el-grego]

Just to say amazing,it ain't enough... Thank you very much,you guys are wonderful ❤🎉

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Hey there! You’re welcome! Happy to know that you liked the video! Welcome to the family 😊

[@paarlsbkvids]

Amazing video. So good to see the basic steps being taught like this. Most people miss this and go straight for the advanced level stuff, missing the basic footwork. Well done, team.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much! 😊 yes, it is very important to have good basis, otherwise it will be very difficult to improve and do difficult moves in the future. That’s why we always focus on the basics and on having a structured learning process 😊

[@2226robin]

WHAT ! you call this basic step ? my wife and I used only HALF of what we learn here. When we danced at the party all of our friends “dropped their jaw”. 😊

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

@2226robin happy to hear!! 😊

[@Manaviecreations]

Thanks!

[@francissantos7448]

Thank you. It's nice to review the basics. Being seniors, we find the forgotten moves novel again.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

It’s always good to review and train the basics 😊

[@Leoninmiami]

you two are the best!! really! the multiple angles, the pace, the quality of the music and production. Its the whole package.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much for the nice feedback! 😊 we are so happy that you like it!

[@TeleJazzer]

Thank you for this. Because I drive on weekends and have a couple of classes during the week, I only have Wednesday night which happen to coincide with some Bachata/Salsa socials in my area. I'm watching this over and over and will help me become a better dancer.

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

That’s awesome! 😊 happy to know that you are using the moves from our videos!

Огромное спасибо! Наконец то я понял как должен выглядеть сам танец!! Раньше я только знал набор связок, а благодаря вашим стараниям, сам танец!)

[@Pasha_Seba]

Плюсую, связки это конечно здорово, но понимания не дает. Все равно что научиться играть на гитаре песню по ютубу- песню ты сыграешь, но понимания музыки как таковой это не даст

this is amazing, thank you so much!!

[@RobertoyMagdalena]

Thank you so much!

[@GC1]

Beautiful and easy steps... You guys make it simpler than anybody... I love bachata but I know very few moves... Now I can practice some alone and surprise my dancing partner, she is very good and I know I am not -yet- to her dancing level! Just a side tip: Dancing Bachata or another dance... Leather shoes are the best, Tennis shoes ok for the demo but your steps would look nicer sliding on the dancing floor 🙂 Cheers! Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! Let us know how it goes!

[@pavelsebastianovich1450]

@@RobertoyMagdalena It went really well, the move I had problems with is a slide. I'm not sure how to indicate it, out of about 6-7 attempts to do slide with different partners- only once it worked out well, in the rest cases- partner didn't feel it's coming :S How I'm indicating slide? +how I'm indicating #16 Walk Her / Paséala?
