Another round of live streaming Salsa with I Live Salsa in State College, PA. Tonight was crazy! sorry for not getting this up sooner. Next week we’ll get the lesson – Rueda!! Enjoy!

We returned this monday to a lesson focusing on On2! It starts with a little fun wrap and pop and a quick rotating cross body lead. You’ll notice right in the middle of the move we do a Suzie Q walk away. This is kind of nurture over nature thing, in other words, sometimes the club gets REALLY packed and you need to scoot over to the more open section. Now stopping and walking over to this area isn’t too stylish so add a little Suzie Q walk and ladies give it some flair as you mosey on over.

Check out the Oliver Pineda Turn by addicted2salsa for a detailed breakdown of the last move we do in our routine. Great move!

We finally solidified a location for Salsa Nights at PSU. Thank you to our new friends at SOZO Art Institute in State College. Check out the live video feed below. This is for those of you who couldn’t make it. Enjoy!

Welcome back from the break to our Spring Semester Salsa Quick Fix. We hope you got a couple opportunities to go out salsa dancing over the holiday season. So let’s jump right back into action and work on a nice combination. We had a lot of fun with the class working on this move and we hope you enjoy it! 2010 looks like a great year already

Ian and I decided to take a little break from all the family fun this holiday and go to a Salsa club. We were visiting my family in New York and lucky for us that is the mothership of salsa dancing. Although we knew of a few places that we have heard of through the grapevine and from our many trips to New York, I decided to try something a little different. I typed Salsa in New York into Google and picked any random club I found.

Gonzalez y Gonzalez was the lucky winner we decided on. I was pretty confident that I would find a good salsa club no matter where in Manhattan we ended up so leaving it up to the fates ( and the probability of a Google search) seemed like the best idea. Luckily we had a second party who had been there once before and vouched for it.

In this case, it worked! Gonzalez y Gonzalez 625 Broadway, New York, NY 10012-2611 (Map below) between Houston and Bleecker St., was a great place for some social salsa. The DJ played a great mix of bachata, reggaeton, and merengue. But the main event of course was the Salsa band Cholo Rivera & His Charanga Blues. Read the rest of this entry »
