You are welcome. Thank you so much!
Such wonderfully clear instructions! Thank you! 🙏
I already know this is not going to be as easy as you make it seem. But thank you! This is very helpful!❤
Just started our salsa lessons and the step by step instruction was so great. Thank you.!!
Taking small steps is the standard advice we must all follow. However, while it's obvious what steps that are too big look like, is it possible to take steps that are too small?
Small steps is the standard advice - yes, but it is also possible to take steps that are too small -
if you end up stepping in place - it can confuse you with the sense of direction: when your steps are so small that you actually stepping in place - you won't really sense if you were stepping to the back or to the front -
**sometimes stepping to the back is necessary to create tension.... - which is one reason why it is important to have the sense of direction when you step - that's why your steps should not be too small.
all of the advice above is more directed to the followers,
while the leaders also need to keep small steps most of the time..since the leaders control the Frame and direction of dance... sometimes it is important for them to do big steps - and also adjust themselves to the follower's position
the leaders know what is going to happen - they can anticipate where they are going to be - so it is less risk for them to do a big step
on the other hand, the followers don't know what is going to happen... so for them is it more important to keep small steps - so they would be ready for anything that will come next (when you have small steps - you can more easily change directions or weight for example.
I hope it was helpful!

Hello,
I am a beginner and I don't understand why the steps are jump from step 3 at step 5? Why step 4 is missed?
The music you will most often dance to is in groups of four pulses called quarter notes. If you add the 4 and the 8 in the spaces he leaves, you get 8 pulses. He leaves them out because you aren't actually stepping during them.
I've found that you can actually step in place with the foot that is about to lead for the 4th step (ex. left foot out = 1, right foot step in place = 2, left foot back/centered = 3, AND THEN, right foot step in place = 4, and then you can apply the same count/steps to when you go back with your opposite foot, therefore, right foot back = 5, left foot step in place = 6, right foot forward/centered = 7, AND THEN left foot steps in place = 8) it helps to not lift your foot too high off the ground, just the slightest lift and tap will do, hope this helps and happy dancing!!
You are right but thats a godamn way of explaining it, the 4 and 8 are little stabs and add to the flavor of the dancer. to me its the only time you add a little sauce to the rhythm, 4 and 8 are freestyle but maybe i just butchered it as much as you. long story short: have fun @@marcussanchez6227
Elegant dancing 👍thnx
good job
Wonderful explanation! Thank you so much!
Why do steps 3 and 7 ar not slightly foward and backwards respectively?. I have seen that is more common while dancing 🤔
That is correct. Once you get more into the flow you can place your feet a bit more back and forward respectively.
❤ it thank you
How do you signal the lady so she doesnt walk or knows you will do a cross body?
She should not walk by herself. Never. So I should not be telling her when NOT to walk, but WHEN to walk ;-)
@@salsaventurai am glad cancelculture doesnt exist in the salsa world😂
Why do you exclude 4 and 8 rest beats in your explanation? It would make more sense if you give an explanation of the rhythm from a theoretical standpoint don't you think? Perhaps you have a video here somewhere on the theory aspect. Personally I would find it helpful. Thanks in advance.
Hi Paul, yes please check out our special rhythm & timing video. Please check out our entire program on salsaventura.tv/

Класс!!!
Why does the cross body lead end on seven and then start on one?
Why not?
Is it me or the music is offbeat?
Many of the videos are unfortunately freezing... It's a shame, because I was enjoying them.
It might be your connection. I have no troubles watching them.
@@salsaventura
No. It happens on half of the videos. Only Salsaventura.
Yeah. Some do some don't. Enjoying them. Maybe my phone doesn't have a strong enough connection for this collection.
haven't had any issues myself or haven't noticed.
Over in Japan, report! No problem-o.
Thank you very much, and Vanessa, too!
