This tutorial shows one variation of Yoandy Villaurrutia’s move Coca-Cola Moderno. I have named it Yoyoflow con Vacilala because the Follow is unwrapped using Vacilala twice, turning on 1-2-3 and walking on 5-6-7. The other variations use the Habanero turn, walking on 1-2-3 and turning on 5-6-7. For more information see the tutorial named “Yoyoflow (Coca-Cola Moderno)”. The Video Clip

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.

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)

Read moreThis A Bayamo variation contains a basic figure called “Tornado” or El Túnel (tunnel). “Tornado” is the general term but when the figure is done using the Enchufla method as in this tutorial, it looks more like a tunnel. 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
Read moreThe dictionary translate Arrebata to snatch: “Grasp or seize hastily, eagerly, or suddenly”. In the “Salsa Steps” App, Arrebata is called “punctures”. The general dance term is “flares”. Arrebata on four or on eight can be used in social ono-on-one dancing when dancing apart. It is even possible to use it during normal dancing, to sneak it in here and
Read moreThis shine is the most advanced shine having a name most dancers will recognize. They might not remember the footwork 100%, but they have heard the name before and they recognise the footwork. Italiano is normally done as part of “forward and back” basic steps, but one can also start it directly. It is only for solo dancing, warmup, workout
