Hello interested dancers,

This is the best basic salsa steps I’ve found. It is taught by Anthony. It consists of forward basic, side basic, and lady’s underarm turn. Learn it, practice with your partner, and know it by heart so you can move on to more new steps.

Hello dance movie lovers,

If you love movies like “Shall We Dance“, “Dance With Me” or “Dirty Dancing“, you will love “Love n’ Dancing“. This movie is about a complete strangers, Jake Mitchell, a deaf, World West Coast Swing Champion who now just teaches dance and gives motivational speeches around the country, meets a boring English teacher, Jessica Donovan who is engaged to a workaholic. After she saw a quick performance from Jake, she was hooked and interested in taking WCS lessons with her workaholic fiance to prepare for their wedding. Her fiance didn’t care and missed lessons, but Jessica still show up…Blah…blah…blah…You guessed it. She decided to dance with her instructor…Blah…blah…blah…and Jake asked Jessica to compete in the World Championships of Swing in the Pro-Am division. Hmmm…sounds a little like the movie “Shall We Dance”. Anyway, this movie’s release is limited, meaning it’s not release in every theaters. In CA, it’s only release in southern CA (LA and San Diego) for now. Have a wonderful weekend. P.S. Post comment on this movie if you have seen it and let us know what you think.

Hello fellow dancers,

Here’s some good music for you to dance to. Five songs that’s downloadable if you are interested. They are Salsa, Merengue, Waltz, Night Club Two Step and Cha Cha Cha. Enjoy.

This is a nice cool night club 2 step move. It’s taught by Robert Campo. It starts with the basic into underarm turn with arm locked and walking around 360 degree to a spin out; then going into hip moves.

Waltz dance in the simplest term is, in my opinion, a slow dance. If you have a date at the prom or at the party, you dance to a slow, smooth, romantic love songs. So there, you already know how to dance Waltz. You don’t even need to know the basic step, just move to the music. But if you want to know the basic of Waltz, it’s very easy. It’s 1,2,3 1,2,3. Saying 1 pause 2,3. 1 pause 2,3. The dance travels counterclockwise around the dance floor with your partners. It’s graceful and elegant; a lovely dance.
