real housewives atlanta salsa scene dance show

There is something about watching a train wreck that is so mesmerizing and reality shows know how to bank on this phenomenon. But since I ‘happened’ to see this one scene I wanted to show it to you (and the world). Even the lovely? ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta need some downtime – and what better then some Salsa dancing. It’s nice to see these ladies laughing and dancing instead of verbally berating each other (well at least for 10 seconds or so). If they were half as invested in salsa dancing as they are in trash talking they would be amazing salseras! Oh well at least there is some salsa music.

Published by Ian 2 years ago on August 11th, 2009Top Ten Tips for Practicing Salsa

beagle dog salsa awesome wink dance coolYou may be thinking going to Salsa class once a week for an hour is enough right. I mean I also go to the club once a week, so I’m getting better. Right?

Well….no.

There is only so much an instructor can do in a given period of time. It is your job to reinforce what you learned on your own time. If you fall into the bad habit hole it can be hard to climb back up. So let’s nip that in the bud to begin with by PRACTICING. Awesome! Well sort of.

When I started learning to play the bass I hated practicing scales (and still do). Now in my old age I can’t stress enough how beneficial that was for my playing. Another part of practicing is learning new things outside of class but we’ll discuss that in another post. Just like scales to music, the basic is the cornerstone of dancing salsa - not all those fancy moves. If you can perfect this move you can fool any pro.

And Now our Top Ten Practicing Tips

10) Mirror-Mirror

They shouldn’t just be used for your “Hey baby” face – although that can be important. Practice your basic in front of a full length mirror. If you feel awkward you probably look it. Go through the steps slowly. If you can perfect something slowly you will have high success rate when doing it faster. Read the rest of this entry »

Published by Ian 2 years ago on August 6th, 2009Where Cultures Collide – Salsa Celtica

I’ve recently rekindled my love of Celtic Music with a band that appeals to both my passion and heritage. The band I’m referring to is appropriately named Salsa Celtica. They incorporate a wonderful marriage of traditional Irish/Scottish music stylings with the enigmatic rhythms of Afro-Cuban music. I find the music to be both discordant and harmonious. The stylings of both peoples so varied and unique that each voice dances in between roles that are supportive and sometimes mimetic to projective and assertive. This music felt brand new and yet somehow familiar.

My first inklings into Celtic music came from my grandfather who is into the traditional Irish songs, mostly bagpipe music that personally is rather …um… truthfully annoying. Sorry, grandpa. Read the rest of this entry »
