"I only know that I know nothing"...; You are a great teacher, always teaching us essential things that we did not know existed. You are wonderful

[@DanceWithRasa]

Thank you so much, its all about you guys ❤

Hey Raza I am a dance teacher too but Ballroom and Latin and Dance Exercise instructor. I have recently started salsa as my new man is salsa mad and teaches too... just wanted to say it is such a pleasure to have found your channel you, like myself, are a technical teacher and sadly there are very few technicians posting videos and teaching, so thank you, amazing detailed videos and it starts with the basic fundamentals which you have detailed herep... you have confirmed that how I am dancing my basics steps in a straight line going through the foot transitioning the weight is correct. Came to your class at Crofton a few weeks ago... what a pleasure. Keep up the great work. Hope to come again soon you are worth the travelling.

I'm in a process of making my own , these are not in production anymore unfortunately 😕 but I'll let you know when mine come out 😇

[@Paula-dy8vm]

Hi Rasa, great video! About shifting weight: do you have tips to dance in high heels? Does it make a difference? I bought new shoes that are a little higher than my regular shoes and notice I have more trouble getting my balance right, especially when practicing spinning. My feet and ankles are pretty strong so I don’t think that is the issue. Maybe I just need to get used to it?😄

[@DanceWithRasa]

Most likely you just need to get used to them 😉 dance with those heels as much as you can to practice, and make sure your weight is mostly on the bold of the foot😊

[@mrman17]

One thing that helps with transferring weight and with stepping in salsa is to not just "step" on top the floor but to push the ball of your feet into the floor (if that makes sense, something that's easier to show than explain in writing).

[@DanceWithRasa]

Exactly! I have made a video just on that, its coming out in couple of weeks ❤❤❤

[@MeredithSpielman]

Hi! I just found your channel and it's so useful ❤ Question: Do these tips also work for Cuban salsa? I feel confident when dancing with a partner, but when I do my basic step solo, I feel like it lacks flavor. Thank you!

[@DanceWithRasa]

Welcome to the family 😇 Yes it works for cuban, but cuban is a bit more grounded into the floor. And travel less. I'll make some videos just for cuban 😉

[@youtuberin]

I was wondering the same. It will be wonderful if you make a cuban style video too. In my salsa course there is nothing about it and I want to know every tiny thing 😂🤗

[@gregfam6250]

On point 1 it will be very hard for most women to crossover with stability and speed especially when the music is very fast. I agree with keeping the feet closer though.

[@DanceWithRasa]

No greg it isnt 🤣its not about if its difficult, its about getting use to it. Once you used to it its a new norm, but that is necessary for them to follow well in x body 😉
