We would have to goto salsa clubs and actually talked to people to learn salsa.

[@jpmdenver]

Thank you for starting at a VERY BASIC level !!!!! some of us are slow learners : )

[@MarcusBodyCoding]

I was also a slow learner at the start - it is very important as teachers to create small baby steps for the students to get better and move forwards! do you continue to practice?

I hear you on that 😂

[@jeffasmi11]

Exactly! It's funny how many of these "beginner videos" start at the 2nd or 3rd level, leaving out the basic shown in this video>

[@Zedd550]

I had my first salsa class last night and i was TERRIBLE 😂 I came here so i can practice at home. I was making ALL of the mistakes you mentioned. Thanks a lot, great video!

[@salsaventura]

Keep up the great job!

Umm this might seem like a silly question, but, what happened to 4? Why not 1,2,3 - 4,5,6? Why does he count 1,2,3-5,6,7?

[@MartinVoorsmit]

​@@cutwagman4 and 8 are a 'pauze count'. It's a short moment when you do 'nothing'. The 4 and 8 are great - as opposite to movements on 123 and 567. Later you can can emphasize on 1 and 5 after that short moment. It's all about balance between action and rest. Like the rest of life. 🥰

[@coolloser85]

Hey who else came here just to try to learn how to dance for there mom? I want to surprise her with becoming really good at dancing salsa.

I'm not sure why I'm trying to learn Salsa, I don't have anyone to dance with... guess I'll have to stick to zumba. BUT in that miracle of a chance I meet a single guy, that knows how I'll be ready!

You are right lol

[@987654321mnbv]

The best explanation for dummies! 😬😆

[@salsaventura]

HI, thank you. I take that as a huge compliment I guess ;-). I had a very hard time to learn how to dance myself, so I always try to explain things as basic as possible. If you like this.... then you will love what you will find on our platform. salsaventura.tv/get-life-time-access

[@RavenousTree]

@@salsaventura you explained it wonderfully thank you 🙏

[@gemarosachannel1481]

I love to dance but my feet never listen to my brain to walk properly. The other videos were too fast for me to follow. Just with your video, I took the right step today. Thank you very much

[@sadafmansoor607]

i have tried several videos on youtube . almost alll english tutorials failed to teach basic steps . either they are focusing on counts or only on styling . i failed miserbaly to undersatnd basic steps . however some other language instructors are quite good in their method but i couldnt understand langauge . this however is quite good for absolute beginners like me . thanks you

[@salsaventura]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@christof3496]

Covid quarrantining brought me here. No regrets😄 P.s. the teacher's explanation and demonstration were top notch.

Great tutorial for beginners. We enjoy your class. Learning salsa in fun and easier with you and Vanessa! Thank you!

[@marycjulius9597]

You explain this so well! I was always confused as to what to do with my hands and body. As a total beginner, other beginner videos that I've watched, has me soooooooo confused! The instructors always do the videos at a pro level. Having said that, it makes me feel like my body and feet are total opposites and without any fluency. But with your video, I could clearly understand and see what to do exactly! Thank you so much!!!

[@charmaineorona8274]

Oh MY GOSH!!! I have been trying to master this basic dance all of my life!!! I have dyslexia and until today I just humiliated myself 🙈😄👠 Thank you forever 🎉❤💋

I'm a gringo Papi with 3 Latin children who won't take the time to teach me salsa, Thank you, Sir Rivera Now my Grandson doesn't speak English so I guess I will be on youtube learning Spanish, While I'm Salsaing, LoL Stay safe

[@manourinanayakkara515]

Best ever instructor without a single doubt❤🙏 Thank you ever so much!

[@Ale-wj6nm]

why does something that looks so simple, is so difficult to execute ?! I went to a dancing club last night, my first lesson, total disaster. even with personal help from two instructors, could not bring my feet to do these simple moves. even a wood plank could dance better than me. then again, surely there are other things in life, that I can build my confidence on...

[@jorgechavez8774]

Haha. We both have left feet. All my family are dancers exept for me. I didnt inherit the dance bug. But im not gonna givr up

[@tawneyb.5789]

Thank you so much you guys are amazingly good teachers. I’ve checked out several videos but I absolutely love the way you teach. The way she is facing away from us and you the opposite- thank you that’s genius. I feel this may be possible to learn how to dance salsa ( dream of mine ) lol.... now with Covid and staying home I can do something positive ❤️

He good but cannot count 123567?

[@samishakim]

great teacher for my first lesson!

[@MidwayGuy]

What I like about this channel is your music is synced to the dance. Most of the other salsa tutorials overdub music but it's out of rhythm with the dance and makes for a more difficult lesson. So, 👍 great job

[@lmin1989]

just what I need. Thank you!

When I can suddenly speak Spanish, Dance salsa, and pull the girl. I'll definitely give KZbin and this channel a shout out

[@martinbernharddoll9599]

I'm missing an explanation for the hip-movement. How do dancers make move their hips? Especially the salseras ;). Otherwise, it's a very nicely structured course. I wish I had an instructor like you at the beginning of my salsa journey. I'm a fan of your Martix.

[@christinadavis9595]

[@stevenwu78]

Thank you very much! It's very clear. My only question is when you count 1,2,3 then 5,6,7 why number 4 is omitted? Is that means there is a pause?

[@chaselong93]

Yes, there is a pause. You step on 1, 2, 3. Pause 4. Step 5, 6, 7. Pause 8. I believe this is called "on 1" salsa and there is another called "on 2" where you step on 2, 3, 4 and 6, 7, 8.
