- Rasa's Top Five Tips: 5 Salsa Shines - Rasa Pauzaite
This video is based on a request from one of my followers. A number of my followers and students have requested that we look at some shines as they are uncomfortable with dancing outside of hold. This is my first introduction to shines, with 5 basic shines that you can bring into your dancing. Over time, we will add another five, and another five, so that you have a full collection of steps to add to your footwork.

![How to Do Salsa Shines in Social Dancing [4 Simple Shines for Beginners]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NRpFy38YbUo/mqdefault.jpg)
I watched a lot of videos as i come back to salsa dancing for fun, exercise and good state of mind. Your videos break down the fundamentals in a great way! Keep more SHINE coming! Love your style, humor and energy!
Thank you so much 💓 I'll keep them coming 😉.
Thank you very much, this is the first time I have come across someone who teaches from a proper angle. Usually the person teaching is facing us and it can be extremely confusing.
Agreed, I'm glad this works for you 😇 any feedback is welcomed 😀
Wow, I LOVE your energy!! Such high vibes. Thank you for the tutorial, love 😊💕🤲🏻🧚🏼♀️💃🏻
Well im pleased you enjoyed 😉
Yes! So helpful! The more shine videos from you, the better dancer I become. ❤
Amazing 👏
Absolutely love your teaching style !
Thank you very much 😊
A wonderful clear teacher. Thank you 😊
Please, more shines! Love it!
🤩🤩🤩 brilliant 👏
As always...clear...concise...and always funny ;-) x
Love the feedback :)
Wow that was really what I wanted. Thank you
Thank You Rasa! This is very helpful. Yes, please do more videos like this one :)
Your wish is my command lol
Love the leaders and followers shines, and love your teaching and love the song you played at the end for the demonstration 💗👍🏼🤗
Well thats great 👍 hope you love other videos too 😅
Thank you so much for actually teaching and breaking everything down in each video 💕💗💕🐬🌈🦋💚💛😍
I am so glad you find it useful 👏
Thank you Rasa. When we learn shines in group class they are so long e.g. eight 8 counts. It’s unlikely that I would remember any of this or be able to incorporate even bits of them into social dancing as dissected they wouldn’t seem to flow or they take up too much space (require traveling). Also many of these shines we learn are performance oriented and look odd during a social dance. There is a definite need for simple repetitive short shines one could gracefully slip into a partner break. This is a much needed video series in the UA-cam salsa world. Thanks again for taking the time to post these. Sandy in Dallas
I am so pleased that you find these useful. My thoughts were exactly. I will keep adding on :)
Thanks for the Shine class, very clear and easy to follow!! Keep them coming Rasa.
Your very welcome, will definitely keep them coming 👍
I enjoy your videos. They always make me get up and dance even when I’m having a bad day and don’t feel like it.
That makes me so happy 😊
Oh my goodness you’re precious! I love this, very helpful...thank you! ✌️❤️😊
Im glad, thank you for using my channel 😊👏
I love these moves! I will practice them until I know them all. Thank you, Rasa. You asked me to tell you how my first class went after insomnia. I was dazzled by all the flashing and floating colored lights going everywhere. I got dizzy and couldn’t do spins. It was like I’d never had a lesson (I danced with Fred Astsire studios almost 2 years but 15 years ago). I was tired and kept hoping we were done. I loved the dance and all the people. I had a small concussion in a car accident a year ago and another in October so maybe that is why I felt dizzy. I think proper sleep and protein and fish oil for my brain will help. I am wearing ballet flats tomorrow night instead of wide sandals to spin better. Again I’m excited and not sleepy anticipating the class. I practice from your videos at home and watch them one after another in between. It's like a personal private lesson before a group class. I love being back in the dance world at 61. My very best time was 43 to 47. Wish I'd started in my 20s so I could've danced longer. I hope I have many years ahead to get good again. Thanks for asking!
Thank you for your message :) keeping me updated 😉 different kind of light sometimes makes me dizzy too. Go yo the organizer and ask him if he can change the settings or raise them higher, sometimes when they low they go straight in the eyes! If it happened to you most likely few others will dealing with the same, its not just your concussion 😉
Love it and thank you... love to learn more shines please 👍

9:40 Leaders & Followers! Such a good way of speaking, especially now a days~
I remember my Dance School in the UK when I was studying (about 15 years ago) I was also teaching there Salsa (I was doing Ballroom) to a great couple, both men. One was always the Leader & one was always the Follower, it didn't take more than 1-2 Privates to learn to say Follower & Leader only~ Life practicing right there! XD I know where you're "coming" from amiga! ;) You'll get used to it~ ;P
exactly, i might not get it always right but i will keep trying till it becomes second nature :)
You are a wonderful teacher. Many great dancers are terrible teachers
Thank you so much 💓
Like it ❤️
Thank you 😊
THank you thank you thank you thank you
💚💙💜
please make more of these!!!!
Absolutely, more will be coming your way 😊
Very nice :)
Thank you 😊
I like your videos 💕
I am really glad you do 😉
"you get 2 for the price of 1" 🤣
Thanks Rasa❤️
😅😅😅
Love your white cat passing by in the video lol
She does what ever she wants 😂
Hi Rasa - Love your videos. You are a truly inspirational person and an exceptional teacher. Any chance you could do a video on Cuban rumba guaguanco shines please?
Sure, that is not my speciality but i will bring another teacher that i think is amazing at it and make the video 😉
Love 💘
😇😇😇
Awesome Rasa! Can you do a vid for ladies arm styling please.
Absolutely :) keep on watching styling coming up very soon :)
@@DanceWithRasa awesome thanks!😄
Rasa, this was fantastic, as an experienced dancer I'm currently learning LEADER steps and this was incredibly helpful. You just got yourself a die hard follower. Thank you!
Oh i am so happy you found it useful 😉🤗 welcome to my channel 💃
I love it! You are sweet n funny!
Thank you 😊
Hay razzzzza good luck dinesh from sri lanka 🇱🇰

Thank you so much, here's the song 🥰

Nice amigaaa! :D Can I ask what Camera you use? Looks great quality! :} xx
Ps: Andria says HIIIIIIIIIIII!! ;)
hi to her too :) my camera is my phone for now sumsung galaxy 8+....just trying to find always good light :)
@@DanceWithRasa good phone📱! But your right✔ good light💡 is key🔑 🙃😉
Dance with Rasa you’re so nice. Ty
When I took salsa classes in America my body became a robot 123 567 when I took classes in Cuba 🇨🇺 my body became a rubber band I really really appreciate the African roots that I learned in Cuba it's a big difference when you study in America that when you learn in Cuba I don't know why but it's the truth
Absolutely, it is just completely different styles 😉😁
This was really helpful....when can I use these? Can I do them to the music when I want as long as I stay on rythym,? Or do I have to wait for the leader.? Do I do the same shine the leader does?
And that's nice you are changing from old gender modeled patterns .
These you do any time when your partner legs go of you for a short improvisation section :)
Best Rasa!

Don't worry they are already gone 🤣
Hi! Love the video and thank you! See the second shine "side cross", can I convert it to on2, and becomes "cross-side-step "?
Same question for the last shine too actually! So I would step on the spot first then prep to turn if it's on2?
Yes definitely, 100 precent 😉
Please show more salsa shine 🙇
Absolutely, more coming very soon 😉
Can you do ladies shines to the salsa on 2 timing?
Sure thing, I'll do more on 2 videos soon 😊
Great video. One question - for the 4 step shine, it looks like both leader and follower take 4 steps forward then 4 steps back. Is there enough room between them to do this? It doesn’t seem like shines are meant for one person to do on their own but maybe I’m misunderstanding what a shine is. Thanks again.
Yes, enough room, cause you both won't do the same shine at the same time. When the guy lets go of you for shines, you both do different kinds . Does that make sense ?
This is great. But when does a shine come into play? As a leader will my follower do what I'm doing? Or while that be by myself
When you lead at some point you let go of the woman to do a shine section that last not longer then 30 sec. Then you and her do different shines, interpreting the music the way you want and she the way she wants 😊 after you puck her up again and continue dancing 💪
@@DanceWithRasa ok got it. Iv only taken3 lessons in salsa. We haven't got there yet. Those moves look good and do able Thanks
@@youngrevival9715 youll get there 😉 at the moment practice those steps and later youll find it easier 😊
can you do more pleas
Absolutely ❤
Dear Rasa, could you do just no. 3 shine with the music, I cannot wrap my head around the actual rhythm.
I will put it in one of my videos again at some point but for now think 2 beats in one step. As a lady you will start on your right foot and you hold the step 2 beats. So youll have right left right left forwad, then right left right left back. Hope that helps at least s bit 💕
@@DanceWithRasa it does, thank you so much!
@@dorav9275 oh i am glad 😅😅😅
Please tell me what is the name of the song at the entrance ?
ua-cam.com/video/I3JypPYH_N8/v-deo.html
Dance with Rasa thank you so much you are amazing 🥰
@@perialkm9264 always pleasure 😉
Could you also teach some routines with a partner? Thanks much
Absolutely, with time i will more videos in partner work 😉
Name of intro song please
Dimensions
Hi Rasa, I love your videos but I get confused by the followers moves. I am trying to learn with my partner, I am the leader. I see that you do the followers timing but you don't do the direction. For instance, if you go forward as a leader then the follower generally goes back first. I have noticed that when you do the followers timings you go forward first too, which leaves us trying to interpret how it should go when we are partnered. I hope that makes sense.
No darling I don't understand. Every time before ladies footwork I always do a basic which is back on the right and forward on the left and then demonstrate the footwork on ladies timing starting always on the right foot. Men always start with the left foot.
In the partnerwork you would be facing each other not touching for this footwork. This footwork is called shines, you do not do it whiles touching.
Is it a bit clearer ? If not try to explain to me again and try to explain better 🥰🥰🥰
@@DanceWithRasa Thanks for replying. I will try to explain better. In the 3rd shine you do 4 steps. As the leader your first steps would be forward but as the follower they would be backwards wouldn't they? When you demonstrate it you go forwards first as the follower. I'm sorry we are just beginners so maybe I am wrong. It is the same with your other videos too.
@@davidmiller9674 never apologise, we are here to learn 😇. This step is called 4 steps forward 4 steps back so as a flollower she would also go forward but starting with her right foot rather the left 😊. When you dance infront of each other if you do the same step at the same time, just take smaller steps 😇
@@DanceWithRasa So we wouldn't be holding hands we would just be dancing in front of each other?
@@davidmiller9674 correct, step like susi q you can do holding but other like this one you would not hold. When you dance salsa a lot of the times you let go of your partner not longer then 30 sec to do some shines. She does what she wants and you do what you want 😊.
Okay those shines are too too easy please can you show me some Afro Cuban Shine from our roots of Rumba that's my request for you
I can definitely make you a video for Afro cuban , but it will not be authentic. It will be a bit mixed cause of different styles that I do 😉.
salsa on1?
Yes its a type of salsa that you dance starting the first beat 😊
Forget the pc stuff!
I want to be appropriate 😉
@@DanceWithRasa As long as leaders know who they are and followers know who they are. Leaders do the leading, followers do the following. That's appropriate.
@@batdude811 it is, but when you teach you have to make sure you use correct vocabulary for all students to understand what's going on, that's all 😉
@@DanceWithRasa As the first comment has touched upon, pc has in fact messed things up but opened up the world to different weird and wonderful combinations or situations.
9:30 Why can't you say guys and women?
Leaders = guys, men
Followers = women, ladies
A man and a lady is the correct combination for a dance partnership.
Because leaders are not just men but women too, i lead all the time and i am a women. Thats why its leaders and followers, who ever is leading or following at that time 😉
@@DanceWithRasa Yes I know other combinations exist but in my last sentence I said the CORRECT combination for a partnership is man as leader and woman as follower.
@@batdude811 but a man and a woman partnership is not correct way, it is just one of the ways 😉
@@DanceWithRasa Sure but I would say it's more traditional to have man and woman. Same-sex couples is different. Two women is either done out of lack male dancers or because they simply want to. Two men is relatively rare but cringe worthy concept.
I've never heard of situations where the man and woman change roles except as a joke or novelty act.
@@batdude811 traditional is not necessary is always positive. Same sex dancing is very common so much so that one of the biggest salsa competition in miami has same sex dance as an option to compete and its beautiful. Dance is not politics, it is an expression of emotion, everybody is welcomed to do so as they pleased 😉
I hate this stupid pantelons and the girl is moving up on the furnither...
😅😅😅this girl had limited space 🤣🤣 and you'll be happy to know those pants are ling gone 😉
It is a nice setting, great dancing and tips but I was totally distracted ( even disgusted, maybe too strong of a word) by the baggy, saggy, ugly... you know what I'm talking about.... Am I the only one bothered by it?
😅😅😅my pants, you know what, im throwing them in the bin 😅
Dance with Rasa aww. But they look like jazz pants. Ballet dancers wear trash bag pants. Not pretty but I love em🤷🏽♀️. People focus on the video and leave folks alone. Not flattering but disgusting is the over stated personal opinion especially on free content 🙄
Thats is true, nevertheless i have been thinking to get rid of them for a while 😅 now they are gone
She talks too much!
She does 😅
