This Dile Que No is good for learning a hip led Coca-Cola turn and a hip lead Habanero turn, walking on 1-2-3, turning on 5-6-7. Since the move starts with DQN and ends with two times DQN, it is also good for training Dile Que No Inverso, the version of DQN used when the motion is already counter clockwise. The
Read moreThis is another variation of the extraordinary move, I call Yoyoflow. It has characteristic windmill (Molino) arm movements in the Dile Que No at the end. For background information about the move, see my tutorial “Yoyoflow (Coca-Cola Moderno)”. The Video Clip is from a YouTube video labeled “Salsa Intermediate 31.01.12”, Moscow, Russia, 2012. This version is similar to Yoyoflow con
Read moreThis tutorial shows one variation of Yoandy Villaurrutia’s move Coca-Cola Moderno. I have named it Yoyoflow con Habanero because the Follow is unwrapped using first Vacilala and then Habanero twice, walking on 1-2-3 and turning on 5-6-7. For more background information see the tutorial named “Yoyoflow (Coca-Cola Moderno)”. The Video Clip is from a YouTube video named “Salsa Intermediate 0703”,

I have named this inspiring “lead her by her hips” move “Yoyoflow” to honour Yoandy Villaurrutia. He created the move 10 years ago and just called it Coca-Cola Moderno, but the move deserves a better name. Since “Yoyoflow” is the nickname of Yoandy, it is also a good name for a sequence of some of his more creative turns. I
Read moreInstead of pushing the Follow’s right shoulder or hip gently as signal to unwrap the first half of Panqué (Siete), the Lead can “push clap” the Follow’s left hand, if she presents it to him like a high-five, inviting him to do so. This variation of Panqué works well as a call in Rueda de Casino, but in some situations
Read moreAs I have said in the tutorial “Cuban Salsa: Panqué (Siete)”, Panqué is a unique move, the only common move in social dancing, except Guapea, always done on the spot, stationary. We do walk, the Lead on the spot and the Follow like a tight half-Vacilala, in and out. Panqué could be regarded as a Guapea Vuelta Doble. Panqué (Siete)

As I explain in my tutorial “Tornado Variations”, we can do Tornado turns using three different methods: Vacilala, Dile Que No

This is the Mother of all Shines and works well both in American and Cuban Salsa. Most Cuban Salsa dance schools teach Suzy Q as an easy shine to do when dancing apart after a hand free Vacilala. Suzy Q comes in many variations, but the basic Suzy Q is more than enough for most dancers. If one should add
Read moreThe Boy, Child, El Niño, is one of the better advanced level moves from “Salsa Lovers” DVD 04, from around year 2000. I have found many videos on YouTube with this move. It contains a back-to-back Enchufla Complicado, we also see in the classic “Salsa Racing” move, Siete Loco Complicado and in the Setenta Nuevo move. It is much easier
