The Windmill Combo with Ladies' Styling   03/02/09
In this episode of Addicted2Salsa salsa dance video lessons, we will show you how to perform a basic salsa windmill combination into what we call the "hourglass copa". The Windmill is very similar to other moves you have done that require an cross-body lead with an outside turn, except this is just a variation in styling of that basic move.

More Fun Loop-Over Locks   01/27/09
In this episode of Addicted2Salsa we show you how to perform a basic blind cross-body lead with a loop-over lock salsa move. While the move may look easy at first, it is the timing and the proper leading where some may have difficulties. Also, we will take it and chain it together with going from a cross-body hammer-lock to a reverse loop-over. I consider this a more intermediate dance pattern because you have to be very careful on how you lead this move.

Salsa Dance Mixer for Beginners   01/30/08
So, here we are again with something short and simple just for you to mix it in to your other moves. Remember, it is not about having multiple long combos, but about putting smaller ones together in different orders. That will keep your moves fresh and keep the ladies guessing what you will do next. Additionally, for those who are thinking about on2, I make a small note for you to pay attention to the counting rhythm when performing the move. Enjoy! http://www.addicted2salsa.com/videos/lesson/salsa-dance-mixer-for-beginners

The Submarine ‘boop’ Combo   06/05/06
Well, this is a funny one I think. The name of this combo was given by our video grapher (Cedric Parlade) because everytime I taught the combo I would make a ‘boop’ sound similar to that one on the radars in submarines. If you would like to do the ‘boop’ sound, it is done on the counts of 1 and 5. I usually use this combo to give me more time to think what move/combo I will be doing next - so basically I use it to stall. ;-) Good to have it in the salsa dance arsenal of moves. http://addicted2salsa.com/videos/lesson/salsa-dance-move-submarine-combo

Of course, like every episode we add some styling so you can get started! http://www.addicted2salsa.com/videos/lesson/salsa-dance-slick-salsa-dance-moves
