Mambo diablo mambo loco

Bailar salsa (son, mambo, cha cha cha, pachanga, guajira, guaracha, etc) es algo que se aprende. Para bailar entre dos cada uno tiene que estar en lo mismo, en cuanto a los pies, el básico, etc. Para aprender a bailar en poco tiempo (unos meses) hay que ir a una escuela de baile con un buen profesor (o si puedes pagarlo, con clases privadas). Claro que al principio, todos bailan igual, se ven igual, estilo mecánico, sin mucho sabor, "de escuela". Pero cuando uno o una llegue, con sangre sudor y lágrimas, a tener un muy buen nivel, y entiende muy bien la música, la clave y el timbao, el baile es más espontaneo, creativo, juguetón, artístico, y cada bailarín o bailarina se ve diferente, con su propio look y estilo. La meta es llegar a tener ese nivel, con mucha práctica, bailando con muchas parejas distintas. Los que bailan con "dance school steps", es que son principiantes, o poco más, pero no tienen buen nivel todavía. El problem es cuando la gente no quiere gastar sangre, sudor y lágrimas para llegar a un buen nivel, y aceptan ser bailarines mediocres, con un nivel de principiantes y "dance school steps". Así, con esa actitud, la salsa colectiva no avanza. I'm sorry. Can you read Spanish? Should I write it over in English?

A great follow

A perfect 10.

It's true. I too love the look of 'professional' dancers...the form...the spins...the beautiful arm and hand movements of the women...but yeah, there is a point at which it becomes all about 'performing'....where you can see their brains are too 'on'...they are not enjoying themselves...and they are putting so much stress upon themselves. I always found the salsa socials and the environments (esp the Jimmy Anton dances) to be a fascinating study in sub-cultures. I mean, you could cut the tension at the Jimmy Anton dances with a knife, particularly if you were there because you wanted to be CONSIDERED one of the better dancers. Then it was ALL about connecting with the right other dancers there...the right clique....and being 'accepted' by them, as 'good enough' to dance with the best of the best. Me, while I was a pretty good amateur dancer, I never had the 'balls' or the confidence to go over to the corner where all the pros were...the private instructors etc. But still, it was loads of fun...the different crowds there...some didn't give a shit....others REALLY gave a shit...some of the guys/leads were horrid...some overly macho and would try to 'correct' you (female dancer) if they thought you did something 'wrong' (Um, aren't you supposed to be the LEAD?? So if you think I'm doing something wrong, that must mean you are a BAD LEAD!' lol) ...and the way some folks (esp women) who blatantly stare down other female dancers...study their every move, etc. Then there are the patently obvious Frankie Martinez crowd...where the guys all wore the white lace-up dance shoes. ;-) Oh, and you gotta love the guys with their towel hanging from the back pocket. What a SCENE!

He's multi-time world champion

@@dannykalman I realize this but I have seen top dancers award-winning and all still not flexible on a social dance floor. Some champions are performers but don't conform to social dance settings. It's wonderful when they do though as in this case. Oliver Pineda is another world champion who is also a fantastic social dancer as well.

I watch a lot of Salsa dancers. But that dance was as pure as it gets without the dramatic style. In 2 minutes you showcased turns and cross body leads with both hands that people pay a lot of money to learn! Great stuff!!!
