The DPS Lock Salsa Dance Combo

21st August

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
