Super helpful with the movements, even though I dance On1/Casino. Son timing will always be son timing, though.

Brilliant. I struggle with hearing anything useful in the conglomeration of instruments and can never ever hear the clave. I badly want to hear the different instruments and beats.

My teacher in Havana would whoop me if I did a lot of body movement in Son . Especially my hips. "Only torso. Is no salsa! No so much body movent!"

This girl does not teach any kind son, the time (contratiempo) is totally absent

[@shaolin1derpalm]

@@caof2005 in Cuba some lay people do in fact dance son on 1 ot 3 as well. But not 2ith this much body movemmnet

[@elinannestad5320]

I think she made it clear at the start, she is not teaching son. That is a whole subject she is not touching here. She is taking son timing into salsa.
