ONE ON ONE SALSA—L.A. Style
There are several styles of Salsa. Below are youtube links that show Barb teaching basic steps for one on one Salsa ("L.A." Style Salsa). The underlying rhythm of Salsa is to step on 3 out of every 4 beats in the music. This is often referred to as a "quick quick slow" rhythm. A "quick" is a step held for one beat and a "slow" is a step held for two beats.
SALSA RUEDA MOVES—Cuban Style
The remainder of this page has demonstrations and explanations of Salsa Rueda moves. These are Cuban Salsa moves done in a Rueda circle formation.
The two videos below show an array of basic and intermediate moves done in a circle. It is noteworthy that in each video, all but a couple of moves are explained in one of the above four part Cuban Salsa Videos. So this essentially demonstrates how a nice performance can be done using these basic and intermediate moves.
