Salsa Dance Instruction DVD - How To Never Fall Off Rhythm

Were you born with two left feet? Or are you a person that just can't seem to understand rhythm and dance on the right beat? Well have no fear because I am here to help you. And all you have to do is follow my simple instructions exactly how I say and you will never miss a beat again!

First of all lets start with why you may be falling off rhythm. Do you have any understanding of music? If so then great, If not this might be why you cant seem to stay on beat. So if your not familiar with music, then here's a quick summary about salsa music you always count in 8's. For example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, that is what we call an 8 count.

But the tricky thing about salsa which you may not know is that you usually never ever dance on 4 or 8. So for example you would dance on count 1, 2, 3 and pause on count 4, and dance on count 5, 6, 7 and pause on count 8. This is a major principle of salsa dancing and if you don't understand it then this could really effect you dancing on the rhythm.

So lets say you have mastered the basic counting principle. Great. Now I have another trick for you to see if you really understand rhythm. First I want you to play a salsa song, any song. While you play this song close your eyes and listen to the music with your ears. What I want you to do is count out loud to the rhythm of the song. So as the song is playing you will count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, until the song has finished.

Next I want to repeat the same thing, so play a song, close your eyes, and now I want you to do the basic 3 step move with your eyes closed while you listen to the music. Now please make sure that there are no sharp object around that can hurt you, the basic 3 step move should take you anywhere, you should be dancing in one place.

When you dance you must feel the music and for some people their environment can distract them and thats' what makes people fall off rhythm. So again understand the song and the counts of the song. Then play the song and count the beats out loud. After wards repeat the same counting out loud and dance at the same time.

You can do it I know you can just follow my simple steps and you will be on your way to never missing a beat. If you want even more info go to learning2dancesalsa.com to see what is the best salsa dance instruction DVD for you!

It's so simple but it really works because the mind is such a powerful tool and if you use it right you can be on your way to dancing just like the pro's do.

Now on to the next hidden secret. This one should be used after you have mastered my first trick I wrote about. I hope your ready for this. Well here it goes you should always record yourself dancing before a performance. This is so important because you can really see what you look like and where you can improve on. No one is perfect so I can guarantee that you will find something that you can make better. Even if it is pointing a foot, or smiling more. Their is always something you can do to make your performance the best it can be.

Salsa Dancing DVDs - 3 Tips To Find The Right DVD

I bet there are lots of questions you have before buying a Salsa Dancing DVD. Should I always question the company that I'm about to buy from? Will I understand how they teach? I can say from experience finding the right salsa dancing DVD is really hard. But if you follow my simple tips I know you'll be able to find one that's right for you!

Tip # 1 - Go to YouTube and see if there is a sample video of the Salsa Dancing DVD you are trying to buy. When you look at the Video, see if you can really understand the way they are teaching. Also look for how fast the teachers are teaching and if you are actually learning the steps or if you are just feeling overwhelmed.

Sometimes teacher's may even have an accent that you just cant understand and that's a big red flag. You should never buy something you cant understand even if you think you might get use to it. Always make sure the DVD is perfect from the beginning so you'll be able to learn as much as possible.

Tip# 2- If there is no sample video on YouTube then I would suggest going to Google and see the comments people have written about the DVD you want to buy. Don't just go onto one website and think you done. No, go to many website and get as much info as you can about the company and the DVD. Now keep in mind you shouldn't believe everything you read, so try and look around to get a feel of what people are saying and then come up with your own opinion.

Tip # 3 - Do actual research on the company thru their website to see if they are legit and see if they have the right experience to be teaching. On the site look for key sections such as biographies of the teachers; see how long they have been dancing for, see where they have taught and see how many styles of dance they know and are educated on.

While you are on the site, do as much research as you can. Try to find testimonials, and how long the company has been in business. Look for information about the teachers and there education and experience. Look for everything that makes you feel that they are the best people to buy from. But most importantly,make sure that you feel excited to want to learn from the DVD you want to buy, because that's the important part.

I can tell you form all the research I've done that there is a credited Salsa DVD with teachers that teach for all levels of dancers. If you visit learning2dancesalsa.com they will truly impress you with all of the Salsa Dancing DVDs they offer.
