Have you just started to dance salsa, but found learning salsa timing a struggle? If so, welcome to the group. When I started it took me nearly two years to even found out there was a such a thing. I learned the basic steps (Cumbia steps) from a couple of native Colombians. For them finding the salsa rhythm was second nature. Not so much for me.
I struggled for months just trying to find the rhythm. But I was determined that I was going to learn salsa. I bought couple of VHS tapes (as there were no salsa DVD's or Youtube at the time), but even my first tapes offered no help in learning to count the music, which I later found is very important part to learning more complicated moves.
So how did I finally improve my salsa timing?
First, I learned to recognize the salsa rhythm. Salsa rhythm is the quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow pattern inherit in every salsa song. In my experience, many of the people from Latin american countries who grow up with salsa music often do not care whether they dance salsa on the right count as long as they simply maintain the correct salsa rhythm.
As salsa dancers we can count the salsa music in phrases of 8, meaning 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. As dancers, generally speaking we then usually do not [url=http://www.lcdmo.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] count the 4th and 8th beat [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.com]doudoune moncler[/url] of the music [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] as our basic steps fall in the counts of 1,2,3, and 5,6,7. This also explains the rhythm, quick, [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/abercrombiepascher/]abercrombie soldes[/url] quick, slow, quick, quick, slow.
And here comes my first very important tip for you.
The best way to improve your salsa timing is simply by listening to a lots of salsa songs. Initially, I learned to recognize the salsa rhythm simply by listening to salsa music. First it was difficult. But after I continue to exert mental effort in listening to the music, I slowly began to develop my musical ear. I first began to notice that there are some salsa songs that have a much stronger emphasis on the core beats 1,3,4,7 which usually makes it much easier to recognize the rhythm at leas in the beginning. Initially, I tried to [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]giubbotti peuterey[/url] only find the songs that made it easier for me to keep on the [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/uggpascher/]ugg pas cher[/url] rhythm. Then as I got more comfortable [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler pas cher[/url] in recognizing the quick, quick, slow, pattern I began searching for clues for how I might learn to recognize the first beat of the music as well.
Some such clues are that the singer often starts to sing on the beginning of the 8 count phrase on the first beat of the music. Also, I began to notice that some instruments actually play a 8 count pattern repeatedly over and over again. One of those rhythms I later found out was called montuno often played with piano.
Then, I began purchasing salsa DVD's and paid close attention to how the salsa instructors counted the music as they demonstrated certain patterns and how their counting corresponded to the music. I continued to take salsa dance classes whenever I could and paid careful attention on how the instructor counted the music. Finally, whenever I went to dance in the clubs, I gathered around to watch some of the best dancers. Even if I could not really recognize the counting in the music, I knew that the best dancers would most likely not be off time. I simply observed how their steps reflected [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler doudoune[/url] to the music and I was able to slowly become more and more comfortable being able to count the [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] music no matter what the song is.
And [url=http://www.getconversational.com]hollister france[/url] there you have [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] it, few tips on how I improved my salsa timing. Good luck!
