👋 Who are we?
Hi my name is Robin and I'm no different than you. A few years ago I started learning salsa. After struggling for a while I found some great mentors and the rest is history. Now I travel the world dancing, teaming up with amazing teachers and creating Dance Dojo - the deeply detailed online dance lessons I wish I had when I started. My goal is to help as many of you reap the same rewards I've been lucky enough to experience through dance. Join me if you'd like to meet amazing new people, leave stress behind, connect to music in a whole new way and feel more alive. Life only gets more colourful - just take the first step.
One last request: if you enjoyed this, please leave me a comment, like & subscribe - it REALLY helps the channel grow. Thank you for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
Cheers,
Robin
Were you able to hear the percussion emphasize 1-3-5-7? How about the piano looping (phrasing) in 8 beats or those horns phrasing in 16? If you have any doubts let me know below! -Robin
What does it mean that the horns are phrasing in 18. Can you count them?
@@Reza88542 watch the earlier videos, the first few, in the playlist to learn what a phrase is and then you'll understand.
This is brilliant. My salsa teacher couldn't explain the music and just asked us to feel it. It's tough to get it until I see your breakdown.
I think explaining how to hear salsa music and find the 1 is probably one of the hardest things and most teachers haven't thought it through. Hence why they don't teach it. Thanks for the love. So glad it helped! -Robin
Brilliant! The best series on-line to understand counting and Salsa musicality! Well done! Dance Dojo rules!
Thanks curtis!! so appreciate that -robin
You deserve way more views. Love the detail you put into this course!!
Thanks really appreciate that! I hope it's been helping! -Robin
@@thedancedojo you deserve a far wider audience post a facebook link and I will share
@@robinpegden723 Thanks Robin! not sure what you mean about post a link but under the videp youtube has a share button so you can grab the link there! appreciate the support! -Robin
Great🎉series. Made it easier
Awesome, love to hear that!
thanks so much!! finally understand how to put together 8 beats with 1-2-3 - 5-6-7 salsa counting :-)
just listen to 1-3-5-7 and add 2 and 6 in between :) how easy! this is definitely most useful video i have seen :-)
That's awesome Patrik, congrats! Really glad the video helped. It's always interesting to hear how the idea clicks for each person differently :) -Robin
So grateful Robin. Cheers!
Happy it's helping :) -Robin
This series has been helpful. I've been social dancing for a few years but I'm just now going to start a series of progressive salsa classes. Musicality isn't something instructors always take time to teach so I'm glad I'm watching this before my lessons start.
Right on and I hear ya! way to be proactive, glad it's helping :) -robin
Fantastic explanations!!!
So happy they can help! -robin
What a brilliant, simple we presented explanation! With great music and in-depth breakdown
Thanks so much Robin!
Million thanks to you Robin this is so amazing I have been watching and rewatching these videos again and again and its really helping me to understand the rhythm n beat better n better..
..
Had a question, how easy or difficult it is to use to Congo beats to find the 1?
So happy they're helping! that's awesome. The conga is pretty useless to find the 1 unless you are VERY familiar with it's rhythm and you can hear it very well, as in forgot about it haha. the conga slap is good for finding the 2. -robin
This is so useful!! Thanks a lot❤️
You're so welcome! -Robin
I just found your music playlist, yay, meeee! This course is so fun.
Right on! Enjoy :) -robin
Great lesson
Why the horn takes 4*8 beats to repeat the pattern ? Not 2*8 beats
Between 4:25 - 4:37
Yea you're right, in that timeframe it sounds like it was 4*8. Right before that it was 2*8. Good ear
Hey Robin. Super
Helpful videos. Looking for the link to the playlists. Am I missing that somewhere? Thank you kindly. Allie
Hey Allie, thanks! The playlist is in the video description, and that's where you'll always find more info about the videos we have. If you're on desktop, look for the "See more" button under the video: monosnap.com/file/1iTB9paRkreQycMJy76SLGJdxlsXGS
If you're on mobile, it's less intuitive. Click the video title (under the video) and the description reveals itself. -Robin
@@thedancedojo Thank you so much. Happy dancing to meeeee :)
Haha you're welcome! happy dancing Allie!
Amazing series and really helpful!!! I have a question, if you can help me. At the 4th minute you mentioned that the first time the horns appear it is phrasing in 16 counts, but I hear that it is phrasing in 32 counts. Do I miss something? 🤔 And when the horns changes a little bit I can hear that its phasing in 8 counts. Thank you in advance
You're right. The first phrase is 32, my mistake. And then when they changed they were phrasing in 4s I think, unless there was a slightly different note used in the second bar. Then it would be a phrase of 8, like you said. Good ear 😉 -robin
Actually you are right about the 4s when the horns change. Thanks for you response!
Hi , thanks for this very helpful videos!!! One question. Percussion emphasizing 1-3-5-7 only in this case or always?
:)
Gennaro, thanks for watching man. emphasizing beats 1-3-5-7 is very common for the percussion to do, specifically the cow bell, but it is not always happening. it tends to happen in specific sections of a song (montuno section). we explain more in our online course at thedancedojo.com - keep up the practice! -robin
@@thedancedojo thanks! I will have a look!!
You say in the video that the links to the other videos in the series are in the description, but I don't see them there. I'm having trouble following the series because there are no obvious links from one to the next.
Theres a link to the playlist in the description. here it is: ua-cam.com/play/PLzGRdLHrtfBwCPD27hvxH8uvx0pA3ovxM.html
Always find the instrument that’s consistent to the music is the piano so follow that and count
Hey Robin, the whole series is amazing. I just found them out yesterday and it's basically what I needed to really find the beat. As you mentioned in previous videos I was and still :/ tempted to go faster but now really started pausing and when loosing the rythm to get back faster. In fact, I just watched the previous part and after practicing to continuing to finding the 1 in La Llave I accidentally continued with the song from this video and tried counting and finding the one before watching the video and surprisingly for me I did :) thank you a lot for doing that series. It helps a lot! Hopefully I will surprise my teacher in my next dance class ( I am practicing salsa Cuban :)
I really don’t get it. I just don’t hear it. After trying for 5 years, I can’t identify the counts in the music. And can’t dance with a partner. It’s sad because I really like the salsa, bachata and merengue vibe. I guess it’s to much too wrap my autistic mind around it. But thank you for teaching, hopefully it works for many other people.
Did you start the Finding the Beat playlist from the beginning? It's in the description of the video. -Robin
Yes I did. The series are the best on the internet. Great compliments too you👍🏾. I see a lot of people getting it, but it’s something within me that just doesn’t get it. I guess I’m too autistic and dyslectic.
