The DPS Lock Salsa Dance Combo

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:06:37 +0000

Salsa dancing lesson video. This move is called the DPS lock combo because you place the follow’s arms in a similar fashion to the way the ‘Department of Public Safety’ (DPS) places yours if you ever get arrested by them. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it). http://addicted2salsa.com/videos

What is the difference between the Latin Ballroom Dancing?

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:48:20 +0000

What is the difference between Salsa, Mambo, Samba, and Cha-Cha? I’m looking to take dancing lessons at Arthur Murray Dance Studio. I’ve never danced any of these type styles and I’m not sure which one would be to my most benefit. Maybe something that is most likely to be used in a club or at a dance. My boyfriend is from Cancun and he can dance very well, and I want to know how to dance so when we go out somewhere I’ll know what I’m doing hahaha

There are two types of dancing – the Latin Ballroom (cha-cha, rumba, samba, jive, paso-doble), you mostly learn these together, or the original and derived dances – Samba de Brasil, Cuban Salsa, LA Salsa, Mambo (Salsa on2).

The understanding of the differences comes with the amount of knowledge you gain.

Depends on what music you wanna dance to.

If you never done any partner dancing or step-based dancing before, I suggest to start with an easy one, which I would consider salsa (level 1 dance). Salsa gives you lots of space to express yourself and it’s better to do, if you’re a confident type of person. Bachata is a good choice as well, little slower, still latin – lots of hip movement.

Other choice could be swing, very energetic, again depends on what you like to dance to, if you enjoy dancing, down the line you can do West Coast Swing, which can be danced pretty much to anything (including RnB, Soul, Alternative Rock, Cha-cha etc), but that’s level 4 dance, so here better start with East Coast or Melange. Rather footwork orientated dancing. More info on this – check the link below.

In general for dancers beginners, these are the best dances: East Coast Swing, Melange (4Count Swing or 4 Count Hustle), Hustle, Bachata, Merengue, Salsa or Chacha.

Have fun whatever you decide to do!
