The thing to know when it comes to salsa lessons is that there are many different ways to actually learn to dance. The term “salsa lesson” can be more broad and expansive that you might think possible. If you’re a devoted dancer who wants to push his/her limits AND learn some incredible new moves, then you have come to the right place. You have come to find the best salsa lessons possible and we’re going to point you in the right direction.

People are constantly learning, not only from their own experiences and choices, but also from other peoples’. Salsa lessons aren’t that different… You dont always have to be in a salsa dance class to learn how to dance, although if definitely doesn’t hurt. Learning to dance can be done in more ways than one. You can check out the clubs & partner up with someone who knows their stuff. Better partners make great teachers! Don’t be shy, ask! They can definitely show you a thing or two. Find an instructional video, they’re perfect if you want to learn at your own pace. Talk to other dancers, they might explain something that you don’t already know! Practice at home… repetition and practice make perfect. But I’m sure you already knew that. Another great thing that really helps a lot is listening to salsa music. And of course, take those salsa lessons!

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s post, I see that Amazon is majorly discounting almost all of our salsa dance DVDs. I have no idea how long this will last, and I’ve never seen this many deals over there before, but I thought I’d share the sales as they are happening, and give you a rundown of our DVDs that are on Amazon.

But first, if you want to buy direct (which right now can be more expensive), you can always find our catalog here, Dance Videos.

On Amazon, we have five progressive Salsa DVDs and DVD sets. Here they are, from Beginner to Advanced:

First, is just our very first beginner’s DVD. I would not start with just this one, since the packages offer so much more information, for not much more price. But here it is, to get started:

I would NOT get the single DVD, especially when the Beginner’s 3 Pack is on such a great sale! The beginner’s 3 pack is almost misnamed, since it can actually get quite intermediate by the third DVD (but don’t worry, it’s very step by step and progressive in nature). This is a standout product to learn how to salsa dance, and yes, even if you are intermediate, this is where I would recommend to start (yes, you will learn quite a bit).

The beginner’s 3 pack is suitable for ALL salsa dancers, beginner to intermediate, to study your basics, get some patterns, and understand how the dance is danced from your very first steps.

And then there’s our “Mastery System”. It’s called the Salsa Dance Mastery System, and it’s an amazing DVD set, coming on FIVE DVDs, and including two solidly intermediate level DVDs to our Beginner’s 3 pack you just heard about. This is our bestselling DVD set, and it’s progressive nature goes deeply into intermediate style moves, connection and footwork. This is honestly what most people end up getting, as it’s inclusive of all levels (and still starts at your very first salsa steps).

And then, there’s our masterpiece. Our Advanced Salsa Dance Mastery System. This entirely separate, and unique, six dvd system is for intermediate and advanced dancers only. This does not start from your “very first steps”, in fact, it starts at an intermediate level for salsa. This is an amazing set of DVDs, produced at a high level, with a dizzying number of teachers, moves, and intermediate and advanced instruction. This is an incredible, incredible set of DVDs and are strongly recommended for intermediate (and more importantly, advanced) dancers.  It’s important to note, this DVD set has one DVD for “On2″ style dancers, as all our other DVDs are “On1″.

And that’s it. That’s all our salsa dance videos, or at least most of them (we have a few stragglers), and of course, sets on bachata dance, merengue dance, and cha-cha-cha.

Hope this helps – Grab those deals! These DVDs will teach you how to dance salsa like no other, and hopefully sparks a passion that will last you forever.

Keep it Crazy!

Learn how to dance salsa dance with this amazing step by step system that teaches you how to dance salsa. It’s totally progressive in nature, covers a massive 3 DVDs, and is beyond anything else you’ve ever seen on the market. It’s the silver bullet you’ve been looking for, and right now, Amazon.com has it on a Major sale (like, a really, really, major sale).

These DVDs have helped countless people master salsa dancing, but what really makes the special is their incredibly detailed and step by step instruction! They are designed for people, like myself, whom needed understandable, clear, detailed instruction, with practice and music. They are fantastic (and they have a complete money back guarantee). Get your set now on Amazon for a great price, here, SalsaCrazy Beginning (and Intermediate too) Mastery System.  I have no idea how long this great deal will last, and Amazon might end it at any time.

I want to tell you about our upcoming Salsa Cruise, but I don’t want to minimize the importance of the great deal above for our DVD set. So let me say just one more thing. This is the DVD set I wish I had when I was learning how to salsa dance. It would have made learning so much easier, since it breaks down the dance far more than any other instructor (or DVD set) that I’ve seen.  I see countless people whom struggle with learn how to dance, and these DVDs will help you beyond your wildest dreams. Why? Solid basics, a lot of repetition, clear instruction, detailed instruction, close ups of various tips and dance steps, and more. They are designed to help, and they do.

Ok, do you have the SalsaCrazy Beginning (and Intermediate too) Mastery System? You got a great deal (thank you Amazon!). Now it’s time to put those moves into action on a … dance cruise! Yes, a dance cruise. A great vacation, usually 7 or 8 days, to exotic ports of call. Every day, dancing, learning, dancing, eating, dancing, drinking and exotic ports of call (ie Adventure). Did I mention dancing?  These cruises are an exceptional dance vacation. I wanted to tell you about our next one, since it’s something special.

Our next dance cruise is to the Mediterranean, for 12 days. This won’t appeal to everyone. It’s long, it leaves out of Venice (no, not Venice beach), and it’s bigger, grander, and more crazy than most of our cruises, but if you’re looking for adventure in the Med – this is your cruise.  You can see it on our site, http://www.SalsaCruiseCrazy.com. It may be out of reach for some, so rest assured, we have our regular Caribbean cruise in the works for early 2013, but if you have the time (and yes, money), this cruise is exceptional. A real treat!

Hope you grab the DVDs on sale, and hop on board our next cruise. You’ll want to at least visit the website and get on the email list so you’ll be notified of future events and cruise.

Here’s some of our other Amazon DVDs!

And now, SalsaCrazy Advanced (for the Advanced dancers there, or high level intermediate):

After 10 years of dance cruises, this one still managed to hold some fantastic surprises, and will go down as one of our best cruises. It’s amazing how not just our group, but also all of our instructors and event managers, have really perfected the art of dance cruising. I really had a great time, and yes, I (SalsaCrazy guy), am looking forward to my next cruise.

Our next cruises are in October, and while I will not be onboard those events, I recommend them greatly. The first is sailing with Juan Gil (on a 12 day adventure through the Mediterranean), and is one of the most massive, exciting, and downright adventurous cruises we have ever offered. Twelve days going SalsaCrazy in the Mediterranean? How great is that. Yes, you can register for that one now, http://www.SalsaCruiseCrazy.com (and more details at bottom of email).

The second cruise, with Francisco and Stacy Martinez (7 Days to Mexico), looks to bring back the memories of our many fantastic cruises to Mexico, and sets sail from the West Coast (which is a little closer than Venice, Italy – for the cruise above).

Yes, both of these are SalsaCrazy Cruises, yes, you can book both of them with our partners, DanceFun, and yes, you’ll get some special deals for saying “SalsaCrazy” every other word. Check the website for specifics, or feel free to call in at, 405-282-8989 (or toll fee 866-326-2338) – but don’t forget to mention SalsaCrazy!

What cruise will I be attending next? When is my next Salsa Cruise? I have my eyes set on the early 2013 timeframe for a return to the Caribbean, and I hope to have details on that cruise available on our website within a week or two.  Unfortunately, I can’t be on all the cruises (without a clone), so I have to pick and choose my cruises.

But, if you want a dose of SalsaCrazy, or just want to master your salsa dancing, there’s a great way to do it with our dance videos.  We have a whole series of dance videos available, both on our own websites, or on Amazon.com (you’re choice), I’ll link to my favorites below:

Learn to Salsa Beginners 3 Pack (On Amazon!)

Salsa Dance Mastery System (Includes 3 pack, plus intermediate, On Amazon!)

Bachata Dance Mastery (3 Pack, On Amazon!)

Yes, even a Ballroom Dance Mastery system, we affectionately call the Wedding Dance Mastery System (but really, it’s the ultimate primer to Ballroom Dance). Note: Even thought it’s April Fools, this is not an April Fools Joke – this product is amazing, and it really does exist!

Plus many more, you can see our full schedule over at http://www.DanceCrazy.com, or on the SalsaCrazy.com Dance Video store (Full money back guarantee – you’ll love these DVDs). So take us home with you – we want to come over.

Oh, and consider a salsa cruise as your next vacation choice! We have the following websites for a singles cruise too. Hope to see you onboard!

also what else can i include in my personal statement?

Thank you

Salsa, so a latino dancing style?

That would fit perfectly in with the whole ‘I like different cultures’, you could have chose ballet or tap, but no, you chose a different culture. It is a good thing to put stuff like that.

The village of Baconao lies next to a nature reserve and is a typical rural Cuban village with unpaved local roads, simple houses, pigs grazing in people’s front lawns and local residents gathering at the street corners. I walked by one of the houses on the main street and saw an older Cuban lady with a cigar in her mouth and a huge pink and grey pig lying beside her, and asked her if I could take a picture of her.

She graciously agreed and brought out her whole family for the picture. Her pig Milagro also seemed to enjoy the attention. Her son Alex knew a bit of English and German and started to talk to us tourists. He took us through his house into the backyard where he was celebrating a friend’s birthday. A suckling pig was roasting on the spit and people were getting ready to party. Alex proudly showed me his fancy stereo equipment and his television, which was displaying Mexican soap operas. People in Cuba may be poor, but they do enjoy their entertainment.

We wanted to make a stop at the Laguna de Baconao on our way back, but our horse was a little too tired. So we slowly made our way back to the resort and finished off the day with a bit of table tennis and a fabulous dance show that featured 7 or 8 gorgeous female dancers and 3 male dancers. The quality of the show was surprising, considering we were in a 3-star resort that felt more like a 2-star property. But nevertheless, we were starting to get into the Cuban rhythm and were looking forward to more local explorations.
