  Do you guys dance Rueda de Casino much in CA? I recently found a rueda video on facebook and they do this killer move, I am trying to find out what the name of it is…
  well this might be a little bit of work to go check out, seeing as how this is not a youtube video, but if you go to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=1347660266&ref=profile
  and the move happens at 2:07

  I know I know, lots of complications, but honestly, this move rocks big time and If you do rueda it will be totally worth it to see what I am talking about. Even if you don’t do rueda and you want to see a sick move, well let me know.

  Anyway if anyone out there in the world knows the name of this rueda move - please!! I would love to know it.

  Also, we just released our SalsaTALK podcast totally on rueda if you are interested check it out.. http://blog.salsa-challenge.com

  I have a very salsa/mambo related question. After going to many salsa/mambo workshops and such I’m a little curious about the following:

  I understand that the timing is on 2 but why is it that when teachers teach shines/styling it’s taught going forward first and when teachers teach mambo partner work it’s taught going backwards first? I vaguely remember someone saying something to the effect that it helps when you need to go from partner work to shines and back to partner work.  I hope this is clear enough for you guys to understand and thanks in advance!

  Hi, I’m new at salsa, but I’m also learning hiphop dance at the moment.  My question is, I have some cool looking sneakers with (obviously) rubber outsoles.  I was wondering if there was a way to take these sneakers and modify the outsole so that I can use them effectively for salsa and hiphop dance.  And even if you don’t know yourself, please point me in the right direction - Google is failing me epically.  Thanks!

  Hi!. Very interesting idea to add “twitter-like” feature. If this goes well in here, I might add it to my salsa website :).

   

  Best wishes from Nis, Serbia!
