Add Rumba to Your Casino
Probably the most requested topic on the channel is how to add rumba into your casino dancing. Here's a quick video showing how to get into rumba side-by-side with matching steps. We get into it with vacila and out of it with dile que no, so if you know those and some basics of guaguanco/yambu... you should be set!

The option to move across the floor with a partner frees you from feeling like you need to constantly be coming up with turns. Paseos allow you to connect with your partner in a relaxed and elegant way without remaining on the same spot doing a basic step. There's plenty of variations, but here's a progression to get moving with your partner in closed position. 💃🕺 LEARN CASINO ONLINE 🎶 🇨🇺 ♦️ Ca...

"SIETE" for casino & rueda... but prettier
This is the most passive aggressive and almost condescending lesson on clave I’ve ever seen. Still accurate tho lol
😍
Is your course suitable for individuals to do solo?
It really comes down to whether you feel productive practicing by yourself. On one hand, it is difficult to keep track of imaginary hands and arms if you're looking to learn 2-handed turns, but for topics like incorporating rubma and son, or doing paseos across the floor, those are very doable solo (provided you think that kind of practice works for you). The exposure to the material I believe can also be helpful when you get the opportunity to dance or practice with someone. Hope this helps - ultimately, it's up to you!
nice video 👍 thx

Hola hermano, it seems like the preview is no longer available is that correct?
Hey there... I don't currently have a preview up but may again soon
I would to know a list of cues that the instructor is calling out and what they mean. ❤ Thank you for teaching this!!
could you please follow up and clarify the use of the back step a bit? In my community there are so many follower who never had any formal training.. but they all know what you call the "dinner plate step".. so they step back. always. all the time. it's hard to get them to do a Passo de Son or similar.. and worse in our Rueda group people insist on the rule that the follower always has to step back on 1 to the point where all the turns are out of shape.. So forgive my belief that the back step is some sort of evil in Casino.. 😅 I mean this video is great fun and I don't want to cling to stupid generalizing rules.. I just would love for you to explain your view on the proper (and improper) use of the BS in Casino!
Man, you shattered my broad and genralized misconceptions! 😮
This is the video I NEEDED😭 Thank you so much for explaining it so well! Will defo be coming back to this video regularly!
@@rachaelm1095 happy to hear... oldie but a goodie, I suppose 🤣
Pa'los Rumberos (the remake) the horns definitely hit the Guaguancó clave. I do consider horn hits and stuff like that as clave. Nice jazz guitar and Black tears, btw
❤

Awesome!!
I love this video! Showcases your humor in record time!!
Lovely!

thank you for the missing link! Even things I already know, you manage to explain with a bit more clarity and detail than I had them in my mind before. Awesome! Thank you! I'm much looking forward to your next-steps material!
@@5.dot.connector I appreciate the kind words 🙌
Cuban casino style is great, very free and flowing with a lot to take in if just watching experienced dancers. You break it down excellently here in this video. Your channel, along with Joel Salsa On2 to learn NY Style On2 dancing, are my favorite. Different styles but equally groovy.
Thank you for thr kind words 🙏
This is amazing, very helpful. I've been wanting to learn these steps - and the only school around me teaches Salsa on 1.
@igorg.8624 happy it is a help 🙌

Nothing makes me feel more elegant than clean desplazamientos 💙 paseos, saloneos, rosca etc. I absolutely love it, especially when the son influence in a song is strong 💪 As always your explanation and examples are super clean but also fun and entertaining ❤️🔥 Thank you!
In this class we went over some rumba movements that can be easily blended into a common casino figure, enchufa doble (battle tested in social dancing scenarios) The rest of the sequence we're building also incorporates some styling from rumba and son, topics which will be covered thoroughly in the followup to Casino Fundamentals (my beginner course) . . .

It seems like anyone can teach afro cuban without even knowing thr roots of it
@@leduaracosta1569 you talking to somebody else, cupcake 😘😘
@@MessinaDance geezer at least I know what I am talking about
@@leduaracosta1569 you sure don't know a fucking thing about my background, my teachers, or me cutie pie.
@@MessinaDance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am aware of that but I can tell by the way you are teaching that you aren't Cuban
@leduaracosta1569 Last name is Messina, congrats on dicerning that I am not Cuban 👏👏👏 I making a 60 second video for people to be introduced to the overall idea of the dance. The workshop I referenced was taught alongside with a Cuban and she seemed to have no issue, so what do you day about moving on with your day 🙏
Why are you the coolest?!
😻
Great!!

You're so funny! I'm enjoying your online casino class. Thank you for sharing your passion.
@gpaszczuk thank u for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the course!
One of the best, how we change from son cubano to salsa rhythm?
Thanks very much. I do have a video of incorporating son I to dancing casino on the channel. It was a livestream
Heyyy question that I can't get an answer to from anywhere! TL;DR: Why does on2 new york style feel different than son cubano? Aren't they both contratiempo? Basically I learned to dance a bit of son this year, and now I decided to give mambo on2 a try, since I heard many people refer to both with son as being contratiempo. Now I get completely why son is contratiempo, but I don't understand the deal about on2. Why do they count 123-567- just like casino? I feel the difference during the pause, it feels like it happens in a different place compared to both son and casino. What confused me even more was an old video of Eddie Torres explaining on2 style and doing precisely son, and not what they teach in the mambo class. Did it change in modern times and why? What's up with that, I feel dumb. Thanks for reading this!
The simplest answer is that on2 is felt as quick-quick-slow and son is felt as slow-quick-quick. It’s a different sensation against the music. On2 typically connects more with the slaps 2&6 where son connects heavily with the slow beats 4&8. They are similar and instructors with a son background will teach how to integrate son timing into on2 dancing, because it only requires taking your 5/1 early on 4/8 and slipping into the feel of slow-quick-quick. I’m not an expert, but that’s what I’ve learned from dancing both.
@@Danceitup44 thanks for your explanation! I am still putting the pieces of the puzzle in my head, as it seems that terminology isn't used the same everywhere. For example, I came to understand that on2, as it is modernly thought, is on counts 1,2,3-,5,6,7- with an emphasis on the 2 and 6, while mambo is more like son -,2,3,4,-,6,7,8. Is it really the case? Until now I thought that mambo is just an umbrella term for on2. Is there any modern salsa dance that uses the son counting? Is that mambo?
@@yoanalexandernowadays we call on-2 a Mambo because Eddie Torres and others popularized it that way. There isn’t a right answer, both are a Mambo. The feel of the song will dictate the style that makes sense. Son is often an elegant and flowing dance, and wouldn’t make sense is a fast staccato song. Similarly dancing Mambo when the Tumbao is emphasized on Conga doesn’t make sense (musically, you can do what you want though). Many schools don’t teach this because it’s really hard and intimidating to learn so many styles. And so you see people plowing through turn combos song after song. And the truth is, every Salsa song has a variety of musical styles inside it. For example the songs sometimes start slow with a Conga emphasis, so dancing Son could be appropriate. When the cowbell pops off in the Montuno, dancing Mambo style makes a lot more sense. Typically you also see a half-time feel section where Afro styles sneak in, and other sections with Pachanga, etc. It’s a rich and beautiful culture of dance, I think.
Beautiful! I went to Dom Rep a few years ago to take classes in Bachata and salsa. The Bachata was great ..the salsa you needed to be an athlete!!!😅
Excellent teacher! I had tried and failed several times to learn 'salsa casino,' but this instructor made all the difference. He emphasizes the importance of fundamentals and explains them in an easy-to-understand way. Highly recommended!"
You're the man! Thank you for taking the time to share those words. You guys look fantastic dancing and I think you'll love the new stuff 🙌
A question - is Salsa on 2 and Son the same thing?
In timing and in form, both no. As opposed to a written explanation, I'd suggest taking a look at "son tradicional" and "on2 salsa" videos and compare.
Superb! Thank you so much! I've only been dancing for a few months! These movements can be used to build a full-fledged dance, instead of using an annoying guaperea! 😺
Excellent explanation... I got it now, thank you.
I couldn't ask for more 🙌 Thanks for letting me know 🙏
Love love love how you both dance❤
Thanks for saying 🙌
Very nice see how group is progressing and becoming intermediate, also having a lot fun while doing it
Was cool to see you teach live in Ottawa! Please come again!
It was my pleasure! The big man has invited me back, but give him a reminder anyway if you can! 🤣
Très bon prof, très claires explications, bravo !
