There's something so instantaneously charming about one whom knows just how to wear a well-fitted set of dress clothes. Add a fantastic sense of rhythm? I'm living for this. Yaaas.
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I learned to do it in a few hours. Now....just waiting for the lockdown to end so I can put it into practice at festivals.
This song is better for dancing cha cha. For a minute that's what I thought you were going to dance to. Oh well, maybe next time. Love your accent and enthusiasm!!
I love your teaching style so much that learning how to mambo made me feel like i was falling in love with you! :D Thank you for the patient repetition, focus on the postural elements, and the knowledge you've confidently and kindly shared.
You dance very well, I want to learn. I think since I was born I have loved dancing, of course I don't know how to dance but I love doing it.I dance at work , at home, at school and in the shower.
No and yes. Salsa On2 is the general definition for a style created by Eddie Torres. This is a simplified version of Mambo to numbers. Mambo uses the conga rhythm - 8and1 23 4an5 67, while on2 is danced to numbers 123 567
@@CaptainSalsa mmm ok. so what it would be useful would be to dance a song from tito puente or machito ( a classical mambo song) and dance it with this tutorial ... :D maybe even compare it with dancing on 2 :) but it was a great video i really liked it. it was just a naive question :P
@@CaptainSalsa I disagree. Chachacha and guajira is the same thing. In fact, "guajira" results a bad term because it means " Person from Cuba who lives and works in the field or who comes from a rural area" and it is sometimes used for referring to a cuban person. The steps you using there are form chachacha (1-2-3,-chacha or 1-2-chachacha).
@@jjjj4075 "GUajira is a rhythm and chord-progressions; Cha-cha-chá is a dance that is most associated with the Guajira rhythm, and it is also a musical arrangement (characterized by a chord-progression that does not qualify as a Guajira, Guajira-Son, Son, or Son-Montuno), and usually accentuated by a guiro and campana. To say that Guajira is not a rhythm OR that the Cuajira and "Cha-Cha-Cha" are the same is not accurate, though it is a common misconception. Look at the back of the vinyl records of so many Afro-Cuban artists from Cuba from before the revolution. If they were the SAME, then why do some songs say "Cha-Cha-Cha" and others say "Guajira" or "Guajira-Son"? If they were the same, then there would be no distinction. They are NOT the same BUT they are close cousins! Again, Guajira is a rhythm and chord-progression; Cha-Cha-Cha is a dance associated with the Guajira (as well as the Guajira-Son among others) and it is also musical chord-progression - though not a rhythm." from my dear friend Josue Joseph aka "La Epoca"
Sorry but the correct counting would be 1-2-3_-5-6-7_, wher "_" means an eight-th more which represents a pause with the leg/step. So to say: 1-2-3(-4=pause or stop) 5-6-7 (-8=pause or stop). Or 1-2-3stop-5-6-7+stop1-2-3+stop... This is my opinion on teaching the rhythm at least. Counting 2-3and4... doesn't sound correct to me.
@@GreenTreeGirl Maybe in theory. But in practice there's no difference. When I try to dance to this music, it's Salsa on one. If you say that's on two (like he is counting with the music - same steps as before but different counting!), then try to dance with this music salsa on one!
But ha haha! Yet another lunatic calling Salsa something they didn't even bother to learn. Man you're really lost dancing Salsa to Cha Cha Cha music. The Mambo is no Salsa dude. You should browse rhe internet and get informed
Pachi Galia thank you. every comment is valuable and allows us all to learn. this is Guajira my friend not cha cha cha. this lesson is for very beginners. 8and1 is a settlement for Mambo not for on2. one thing is the problem here. The editor has badly connected the music for me. I dance "in tiempo" and the music flows "contra tiempo"
@@CaptainSalsa if you are implying that what makes Mambo similar to Salsa is just the timing then you are simply wrong. I'm a musician and South American and referring to guarjira as a reference when teaching Salsa is simply crazy. My personal collection of Salsa is of over 500 songs selected from a world of Salsa music, fast slow and very slow. Using a guajira to teach Salsa? It would be good to hear other latinos if they actually heard of Guajira. What I do know for sure is that some people use the word Mambo to advertise themselves as someone who knows what others don't, this is that Mambo is a sophisticated form of Salsa reserved for the advanced dancers and instructors. This is just rubbish, and Rumba as well as Mambo have little to do with Salsa

So is mambo the same as salsa on2?
No and yes. Salsa On2 is the general definition for a style created by Eddie Torres. This is a simplified version of Mambo to numbers. Mambo uses the conga rhythm - 8and1 23 4an5 67, while on2 is danced to numbers 123 567
Thank you
Это сальса шаг
que ritmo es? cha cha mambo montuno?
ahhh Guajira .. abajo dice en los comentarios
@@ciudaddetlaxcala9895 yes, también puedes bailar Mambo o cha cha, ¿por qué no?
El lo hace todo igual jajaja , parece un soldado
What dance style suitable for fat men?
No use memorize all correct moves if I am fat.
I want to do eloquent tease dance!
You should try Bachata or Kizomba
Doesn't the man start by left foot backwards?
Yes, off course.. but you got it anyway! ;)
No, on salsa 1, the man starts with his left foot forward.
That song is a chacha song
this is Son montuno, certainly not cha cha
5:58 so you are dancing mambo with boogaloo song?
This is Guajira my friend not boogaloo

👍🏿👍🏿
Excellent dancing but that is not mambo. That is chachachá (AKA guajira).
Yes, this is Guajira but not Cha cha cha. Cha cha is not Guajira and Guajira is not Cha cha cha. You can do Mambo and use 8and.

Is he being serious ?
