18th June

http://addicted2salsa.com

Well, we have another Lessons of Addicted2Salsa. Another shot at Hotel Fort Des Moines (Iowa for those who are wondering where we are from). We teach you a simple double-handed turn using the same principles as leading a right turn — and then teach you a slick little combo for switching hands as a starter for any other combos you might learn in your life! Again, sorry for the low-budget filming (we do accept donations)!

Learn to Salsa Dance : The Double Lock Dance Move

5th November

http://videos.addicted2salsa.com/

So, another funny combo name. DPS stands for ‘Department of Public Safety’. I got arrested one time at Iowa State University for carrying a door down the street (oops!), and the way they lock your arms is the same way you do it to the follow. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it).
