Undoubtedly the best salsa basic video on RUclips. The steps are very clearly demonstrated. Will certainly help those (like me) who are trying to learn the basics
Thanks Anand for appreciating this video!
Best salsa video ever!! It was so clear and easy to follow your instructions. I watched this video 10min before I went out to a salsa club with Argentinian friends, and I was fine!, I felt like I knew what I was doing and everyone kept saying "wow! You're so good for a beginner!" Some people even thought I was from South America 😂
Every time I go out to a salsa club, I watch this video and that's all I need to know the basic steps and have fun! 🤗👌🏼🎉
Dani, that's 😳 wow! You are talented dancer. Glad you find our Salsa video so helpful! Egils
Egils Smagris haha I'm ok 😉
Yeah it was, especially because I went out to a salsa club tonight! I had a lot of fun ☺️
Just a curious question! With basic steps learnt like the video, are you able to dance with others? Very helpful video!
Undoubtedly the best salsa basic video on you tube
I love it.... easy to follow up!
i love it!!!
Very good lesson!
The best salsa tutorial thank you very much!!!
ditchbeauty welcome!!!
Lovely! Am a recent beginner. I love everything about this video. Many thanks. :)
Welcome Emilia!
Great teaching...Good video ...
best video around
Great video
A suggestion, sir: Please do mention the hand movement for mark and preparation.
99.9% of the people learning are unaware of how important that is.
Your videos are fantastic. Thx
Schnickschnack welcome to our videos!
Too good
Thanks
Egils, please make more salsa tutorial videos! I've recently became interested in salsa and it confused me a lot as a ballroom dancer. I literally struggled to get a grip on what people were trying to describe me. Now I watched this video and and as if my eyes were opened.
So basically salsa is like cha-cha-cha if you do some sort of front-back cha-cha basic, with timing quick-quick-slow. And body movement and technique is a lot like cha-cha as well, right? Now I understand :)
Hi arclight, glad this video was helpful to you. Salsa basic is like quick (tempo more like Cha) rumba basic with feet closed on 3rd step. Cucaracha forward and back. Thanks for idea for future videos 😉
Thanks for your video
+Mỹ Nguyễn wellcome

Total falsificación de una realidad cultural.
Egils overall a good video. Your posture and body center movement are very good.
What follows is my personal approach to what is in the video.
First very good basic back step. Full weight shift heal down. Nice.
In two hand open position, lead don't loop your hands. Just use a low hand hold and move your hands just back and forth naturally with your step. The connection is strong and simple. Try to make it comfortable for the follow (low hold), and omit the hand "noise".
In the basic step, for the lead, if you pass your feet slightly the step will flow better. Also, depending on the leads body type, in many cases by passing your feet slightly you can keep your legs closer together. For me ideally I want no gaps. This is more of a ballroom technique that I use. It works well for me because I am tall. 6' 1".
For the follow it is important to pass your feet. In doing so your shoulders will angle slightly with each step. This gives the lead an indication that you have full shifted your weight without looking at your feet and I think it looks more natural. The lead is based on follow weight change, regardless if the follow is ahead or behind the music.
The follow right turn from two hand open position, the lead left hand J move can be much smoother and start earlier. Put your other hand behind your back, in the small of your back with your fingers closed once you start the follow right turn lead. Coordinate the left and right hand movements. With your one hand behind your back, more attention will be placed on the follows right turn.
Thank you Wind War for your appreciation and really useful suggestions!
Thank you for the video, waiting for new salsa tutorials)) and as I know, latin inviting to dance is more difficult. Could you make a lesson about it?
What you mean by latin inviting to dance? How to invite Lady to dance? Just simply invite.
@@EgilsSmagris the start of a dance, like in a competition.
Ok, that’s quite individual thing for each couple. But thanks for the idea I will try to do something.
Hello Egils. This is a great video. My wife and I are practicing for when we go to Miami in August. What's the name of that song playing in the background? Also, compliment on the quality of the video. As I describe this to my wife, I tell her it looks like you two are swimming. And I want that song.
Hi Julius! Thanks for appreciating our dance videos. Salsa music is "No Frills Salsa - Alternate" Kevin MacLeod.
I love your video's! They are very clear and most of the times quite easy to understand. But I have a couple of things to say/ask.
1. Will you do more salsa videos?
2. I get kinda lost in the huge amount of videos you have. I love to dance but don't have time to go to lessons as I do multiple other sports already. So I do this in my room when I have the time and sometimes when I go out with someone that likes to dance and/or can dance. In other words I'm a total beginner. I know a couple of very basic steps of quickstep and waltz and well now trying salsa as well. So when I try to look up videos for a specific dance, I come across lot's and lot's of videos and I don't know where to start. When I look at your playlists I find multiple "basic" playlists of the same dance and I'm not sure which one to go with. You have general playlists which are not linked to a specific dance but I as a beginner don't know when those videos can be useful. So my question is, can you or someone else with great knowledge re-visist all old playlists and make a new and updated one. Where playlists of the same level (beginner, intermediate,etc.) and dance get merged into one and put in order and that those general videos are referenced to in other playlists and videos when they can be useful to watch. Perhaps some videos haven't been put in playlists and perhaps they should be added as well. I know this is asking quite a lot but I would really appreciate it and probably many other beginners.
3. lastly, when making the beginner guides, act like we are stupid or haven't seen any other video. Sometimes you show or tell us things like we're supposed to know. Reference other videos if you have explained or showed it before perhaps with annotations afterwards if the video has already been made and you didn't tell or forgot to say it in the video. Or act like we're complete idiots and explain and show everything so people can watch the video without needing to search for another video where the part they didn't know is explained and/or showed (without knowing in which video it might be explained/shown).
For the rest keep up the amazing work! You're definitely the best "RUclips dance school!"
Ps: you might see this comment copied in other videos. I would like a response so I at least know you have seen my comment and perhaps have given it some thought.
Thanks Jelmer for appreciating my dance videos and making such good suggestions. As soon as I have time I’m going to improve playlists and. Not sure if will do many salsa videos. I agree that all beginners videos have to be with explanations as if audience do not know anything about dancing. This I also want to improve in future videos. Thanks again for your input!
@@EgilsSmagris thank you very much for your reply! I'm looking forward to it!
😘😘😘
Please explain Cross body lead in detail. Thanks
+Sardar, thanks for idea. I will put it into my future plans
Swing out basics
What music was used here?
No Frills Salsa by Kevin MacLeod
en español
Coming from a Colombian:
This needs more natrual flow to it but it’s good x
Thanks!
What happened to "4"?
David, thanks for question! Counts 4 and 8 are silent because there are no steps. Hope it helps.

Is your lovely partner the one that used to dance with Artem who is now on DWTS?
+Edith Paul, no, not as far as I know 😉
Thank you for answering my question. Your teaching methods are by far the best I have seen. I practice some of the basics at home in front of the mirror. Having had two back surgeries and a knee surgery, I doubt if I will ever be able to much more. But it is great exercise. Thank you for posting.
+Edith Paul thanks for appreciating our dance videos. Wish you to continue dance exercises and develop yourself! Egils
@@EgilsSmagris Thank you very much
Hot and very nice
Thanks!
No
Just to be clear, this is "ballroom Salsa", and not the way Latinos dance salsa. So you'll look weird dancing like this in a Salsa club. The same applies for "ballroom Tango" and authentic Argentine tango.
I totally agree that each situation (ballroom, club, social dancing, etc.) requires different styles of dancing. But many things are also common to different dance styles (musical structure, sense of rhythm, balance, etc.)
