I guess I didn't make the video so we would judge the couples, but rather to grab a glimpse of the essence of what happens at the social events in a salsa congress. There are a multitude of social dancers there: beginners, intermediates and professionals. I think we should accept the fact that not all of us are amazing dancers, but we still all come together to support the dance we call salsa.
All the patterns you see are leadable and don't require previous knowledge from the follow. As long as the lead is executed correctly, the follow (lady) will know where she needs to be or what to do.
Some of the styling (arm movements, placements, stops and spins) are there to help use your body to interpret the music. If you focus on all the instruments in a song, you'll see the small nuances in movement, that to dancers, makes dancing a specific song more enjoyable.
The second dancer is mario B if I am seeing right, and he is an internationally well known dancer, that was with "santo rico", plus he is a really cool dude, so please dont bash people like that!
Great vid! I heard salsa was big in LA but i didnt know it was THAT big lol apersaud i think u should tell wat the names of the songs are lol What was the guy with the hoodie thinkin????? he looked quite dum, wearin hoodies indoors haha wat the hell, but everyone else cooool

That was a great montage, thanks. The lead on the first dance was LA's own Cristian Oviedo. That guy can spin!

Some may consider "styling" as sabor, and that is dancing too? Everyone has their own style in interpreting the music :-)
loved the last couple... que sabor!
completely agree with you!
First couple has some amazing moves

they were amazing certainly, and yet I didnt enjoy it as much as some of the others because it looked like they were just tieing themselves in knots
only people worth watching were the last 3, that's real... in my opinion...
way too much stylin'...just DANCE!
by far first couple was better
