10 Beginner Salsa Patterns/Combos ... This should help you have an "arsenal" of moves for any Salsa Dance. So you don't have to think about moves anymore :D Hope this helps.

Don't forget to practice :D
I literally watched this video 6 times in a row, wrote down the sequences on my phone and went to a big social dancing event last night and incorporated 6 of these sequences into my repertoire. Coming back to salsa and classes after many years off, I found I would freeze up in social and forget all the complex moves we'd been practicing in classes recently. These 10 sequences really made me feel confident that I had moves up my sleeve that I could fall back on reliably! Thanks a lot! I'll check out your videos. Nice website by the way.
That is the spirit. Thank you for sharing your story. As a professional advice, try to master and remember your basic moves (more than 20) and create small combos (like 2-4 moves) than try to mix them up. This has the purpose of getting you to a comfortable level in which you can improvise and dance without stressing about the moves. Keep on rocking :D
02:03 1. She He She Turns 03:35 2. Hammerlock-Left Turn 04:50 3. Right Turn Men Neck PAss 05:52 4. Pretzel kick + Double Turn (1.5R) 07:40 5. Stop and Go (Enchufla Double) 09:46 6.

Copa- Hesitation Hand throw Titanic 🔴Great breakdown of these simple moves! 👉I also created a breakdown of the most common salsa steps but from the perspective of the leaders - so it enables the leaders to practice their steps without a partner.
Going to a dance party in like two hours, been months since I danced salsa properly...hilariously trying to remember these patterns, and actually this video helps so much. Going to watch a bachata one after this LOL thanks you guys.
Your way of teaching with sense of humor makes it more fun to learn and not intimidating to a beginner. I like also the fact that not much talking that becomes confusing later but to the point of the movements being conveyed! Keep it up and thx.
THIS IS THE BEST SALSA TUTORIAL EVER I HAVE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING USEFUL ON THE NET BUT UNTIL NOW I GET IT CONGRATULATIONS GUYS YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND GOOD METHODOLOGY THANKS I VE LEARN A LOT
For somebody who's mostly into bachata but needs to know some salsa for the social dance parties, this is a PERFECT place to get started. I've looked for simple salsa tutorials in the past and it was frustrating. This is just what I needed, THANK YOU Marius & Elena!
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. Apart from the superb clarity, the lead maintains perfectly timed footwork and foot patterns. The humour works, too. Thank you.
Thank you appreciate it. Today , besides the video that I already posted on patreon and come public tomorrow... we are preparing the first Kizomba tutorial with our school's Kizomba instructors :) Thank you. Again, much appreciate it :)
Very valuable video, you taught the moves in an easily digestible way whilst also making in entertaining. I’d suggest you add timestamps which reference the various moves; it would facilitate returning to view a certain move much better.
I'm a beginner since 5 months, and this tutorial is one of the most astounding and useful I've seen, and I can tell you I saw hundreds!!! Thanks Marius ans Elena! 😻
Thank you for this tutorial. As a leader and a beginner its good to see simple moves that can help building confidence. I used my iPhone and video your video so I could slow it down and learn the courts. Great job!!
Thank youuuu. About the counts in general you have to think about the basic step (that's for the feet) while you just focus on the general movement in terms of 1-4 or 5-8. This will help you learn faster because you won't have to think about what the feet are doing on 1, what the body is doing, the hands etc... The feet are "basic", the body is doing the "big moves", the hands are the one in detail. For example feet - basic, body - basic, hands -> right turn with caricia (that means 5-6 , 7-8). Hope this will help you understand moves a lot faster :D It's a trick we teach our students.
U guys, have the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest tutorial for combos and patterns, in salsa and in bachata, besides u are funny and kind. Keep it up!!!! Just discovered you a few days ago. Saludos desde Colombia!
I like the way you teach you make it clear to the beginner , I will be taking note of your patterns and trying them out , just subscribed today , cheers !
Super Elena și Marius! Va urez succes in continuare! Am început clasele de 3 săptămâni. O rugăminte va rog primul exemplu dacă se poate sa-l faceți mai încet sa pot tine pasul! Mulțumesc! 🙏🏻❤️
Hello. Thank you. Unfortunately we are not located in the States, we live in Romania (Europe). We had a tour programmed for USA but it got cancelled because of the virus.
Hey so I'm new to salsa and bachata and I was wondering if anyone has any good music recommendations. Also your video was great; it was a lot of fun to watch :D
Hi. I really really love the routines and been practicing them. I HATE most traditional salsa music with scattered instruments/sounds (also they all sound the same) and dancers are in a hurry looking like waddling ducks with shoulders, hips, arms/legs all over the place because of too fast a music. I like dancing to more modern salsa music with "romantic lyrics (I think)" even if I do not understand them. Can you please use modern salsa music for your next videos like those used in international competitions? Thank you.
The signal is given/received from the hands. Because I pull with my right, while i push/slight movement forward with my left, she understand she needs to turn. This is acomplished through the tension we have between us. Small changes in it signal different things. This comes with a lot of practice and we dedicate separate exercises for it to our students.
Depends a lot on the instructor. There are many variations to your comment but if you really have a good instructor, then : 1. your partner might be an absolute beginner (less then 2-3 months experience) 2. he might not be interested in dancing 3. he might have a channel of learning which is totally different then most students. Here, the instructor must identify it and communicate to your partner on his language of learning 4. you are only joking and wanted an reply from us 😅 5. other scenarios
So... I don't know what you think a beginner is but for us, and in our school... you are a beginner until you have 4-6 months of experience (2 hours per week). Intermediate until 1-1,5 years. Advanced it's something really rare... like 2+ years and you have to know really well your fundamentals in this categories : 1. timing 2. body-movement 3. leading&following 4. repertoire of longer, more difficult moves Let us know in your are how is a beginner is defined. Because if you go from beginner to intermediate in 1-3 months... then that is only marketing. If you need... we can make a video explaining what a beginner should know, intermediate should know etc...

Love your videos I'm getting back into Salsa I'm decent but I want to be more than decent, I will practice more

Check out the Four Smooth Moves. That is a nice video too
@Chuck Duzzie True, The Four Smooth moves is a nice video, too. Thanks for sharing it!
can you share how those sequences look as a transcript?
My mind will interpret them better
I literally feel the same way, the classes and schools don’t spend enough time drilling and breaking down the basics
02:03 1. She He She Turns
03:35 2. Hammerlock-Left Turn
04:50 3. Right Turn Men Neck PAss
05:52 4. Pretzel kick + Double Turn (1.5R)
07:40 5. Stop and Go (Enchufla Double)
09:46 6. Enchufla Planeo/Sweep (+ Reverse CBL)
11:11 7. CBL- Hammerlock + Left Turn
12:34 8. Titanic Kick (with hand toss) + more
14:12 8. Titanic Kick - Touch&GO
14:52 9. Copa + Wrap + SRT
16:11 10. Copa- Hesitation Hand throw Titanic

Hey so I'm new to salsa and bachata and I was wondering if anyone has any good music recommendations. Also your video was great; it was a lot of fun to watch :D
Will greate a spotify playlist or something like that. Maybe that will help.
@@MariusElenaBachata if/when you make this playlist please update your followers :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi! what is the name of salsa music in this video? Thank you very much! Greetings from Brazil !
This is the on -> ua-cam.com/video/FQQxkvHGutE/v-deo.html . Greetings from Romania.
legendary video intro he made :D
😂😂😍 I know. Right ? 😂😂
can anyone tell me who is the author of the music in the background, or track name, please?
Hi. I really really love the routines and been practicing them. I HATE most traditional salsa music with scattered instruments/sounds (also they all sound the same) and dancers are in a hurry looking like waddling ducks with shoulders, hips, arms/legs all over the place because of too fast a music.

Dear bro
I don't bother how u speak english. But ur salda s technical simlple to under stand.
That i love it.
Thank you :D Appreciate it :D
Whew! 8-10 seemed tricky for me.
Practice makes everything easier :D Glad you liked the video. More coming soon, and better :P
6:21 what is the music? Shzam dosent say anything
I remember only that it was one of these ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=salsa+instrumental+music
what song is the first combo?
Which is the signal of the hammerlock?
twisting her ankle gently
Twisting her wrist gently :D
@Semih Kaya We are sure that is what you wanted to say too :D thanks
Mình ko giỏi tiếng Anh. Nhưng mà đẹp lắm cảm ơn nhé
Hmmm lace on his drawers?
at 13:41 its not really clear how she is being signaled to turn and face opposite direction and walk.
The signal is given/received from the hands. Because I pull with my right, while i push/slight movement forward with my left, she understand she needs to turn.
This is acomplished through the tension we have between us. Small changes in it signal different things. This comes with a lot of practice and we dedicate separate exercises for it to our students.
Do you need a hat to perform those combos so smoothly?
No, but it helps with the aerodynamics😂
@@MariusElenaBachata So I'll follow that advice and all your great tutorials too!:) Thanks for them!
Thật tuyệt vời
Thank you
I know all of them. But when the song start my partner danses only turns and enchufla... (
Depends a lot on the instructor. There are many variations to your comment but if you really have a good instructor, then :
1. your partner might be an absolute beginner (less then 2-3 months experience)
2. he might not be interested in dancing
3. he might have a channel of learning which is totally different then most students. Here, the instructor must identify it and communicate to your partner on his language of learning
4. you are only joking and wanted an reply from us 😅
5. other scenarios
You should say in the start of the video whether you dance On 1 or On 2 salsa
I think that theese 10 salsa patterns are not so easy fot beginners. I have a question how shoud advanser dancing if theese 10 are for beginners.....
So... I don't know what you think a beginner is but for us, and in our school... you are a beginner until you have 4-6 months of experience (2 hours per week). Intermediate until 1-1,5 years.
Advanced it's something really rare... like 2+ years and you have to know really well your fundamentals in this categories :
1. timing
2. body-movement
3. leading&following
4. repertoire of longer, more difficult moves
Let us know in your are how is a beginner is defined. Because if you go from beginner to intermediate in 1-3 months... then that is only marketing.
If you need... we can make a video explaining what a beginner should know, intermediate should know etc...
@@MariusElenaBachata thank you for your explication❤️
Video about the different between the beginner and advanced - yes why not 😉
Look for the spelling of Enchufa in the Spanish Dictionary. There is no "l"
I don't really know what dictionary you are using, but you might want to look again.
