I think two clips - one showing Francisco Vasquez and the other showing Juan Matos - would immediately demonstrate the difference between LA and NY...
So, who won in 2000 ?
Hey, thanks azzey, I was almost sure it was Johnny in 2001, because he was dancing with Carolina Cerisola and its written in her resume that she is...
I made some research with the help of Google but I couldn't find for sure who won the Club Mayan Salsa Competition in the professional division in...
That's what I thought you were asking :D I would call "stepping forward on the 1 to break the movement" - "break forward" rather than "break...
Josh, are you asking if "break forward" means "step forward and change direction" or "step backward and change direction" ? Is that your question, I...
Yes, sure this is a rueda move, I corrected my post ;)
This should be an interesting discussion... I have also observed this "competitive" versus "just for fun" mentality with dancers, you know when...

It is consistent. When on1, you start spinning her on the 4th or on the 5th count finishing on the 7th, which translates to the 1st or 2nd count...
OK then - is a quadruple spin performed by Francisco Vasquez an ego-art or is it an interpretation of salsa :wink:
I think the "circus" effect of the Mayan is there because it is a COMPETITION. These dancers go there to compete with each other for the attention...
I come from Bulgaria, its a small country but Francisco has come twice here and this year we also had Luis Vasquez, Juan Matos, Leon Rose and...
OK, so all three of these spins are basically using 3 steps to prep you into the same position you'd be in part way through unwinding the jack...
azzey, that's the spin I am talking about, I didn't know it was called a Jack Spin - I've be been practicing it since I posted the question and I...
Here is a video clip where Francisco Vasquez is doing some triple and quadruple turns :D Francisco Vasquez - Sportsmens Lodge, 2003 The ones...
The transition from on1 to on2 takes some time, probably about a couple of months after which you will feel comfortable and have fun :D dancing on2...
