Good to hear. I am somewhat of a salsa expert, you know, more on the musical side, than the dancing side, but I am still a pretty decent dancer.

I also happen to live in Cali, Colombia, known by many as the World Salsa Capital. Here is how salsa is done here in Cali. This was filmed during the yearly World Salsa Festival:

What you see here is the real McCoy!

Salsa is like kung fu. You have the REAL deal and then you have the various McSalsa versions and schools and music/DJs etc.

I am believer in adage that for good MA, one needs good rhythm for oneself, as well as to recognize it in his opponent, in order to disrupt him. And of course, regular dancing will give help one's physical co-ordination, as well.

Agreed. Additionally, the ladies like dancing!

Oh, I could tell you stories about the ladies.:D

If you ever decide to brush up on your salsa dancing here in the world salsa capital, let me know. Some of the ladies I see in the clubs "disrupt" my rhythm big time...:D

or left right left

advance retreat advance

or move to the left, move to the right, move to the left again

etc etc

or waltz

I make cases of salsa every year. 4 or five kinds of peppers, tomato, onion. All homegrown. Try to make enough to last until the next harvest, but it never does...

It was a natural fit dance for me.
Tango is up there too, but the paso just feels "right".

I am sorry about the loss of your friend.

I don't know him, but he has great swing. That is Cuban style and it looks good.

Do you dance salsa too?

Well, dancing can work on so many levels, physical, artistic, social (the ladies) and so on, and in the end of the night it will leave most people smiling. What else does one need in life?:)

We come to class and tell sifu about the fun and then try to get him to shake his little 75 yr chinese butt...which he does, and then giggles!:p
