To everyone who says they are doing the steps or counting wrong, if you all know so much why are you watching a beginner’s video? You salsa Nazis!

ha ha, There’s no …
ha ha, There’s no rule that says you have to start backwards or forwards. The guy leads, the girl follows. Just listen to the music. Salsa is supposed to be spontaneous. That’s what makes it so much fun. You probably think you can only grab the girl with either an open or closed stance too. Why not rest your arms on each others shoulders or grab your waists? Try being creative.
Yeah, they should mention it’s Salsa on 2 and its probably a new york style dance variation.

4&8 are pauses- …
4&8 are pauses- sometimes it helps if you count it “quick-quick-slow” (a quick is worth a beat and a slow is worth two beats). There are about a million and a half variations of “Salsa”, and this is one of them. Also, depending on who you ask, there is no “salsa” dancing (Salsa is the music- Mambo is the dance). I technically learned that Salsa starts on the one beat, Mambo on the two, but otherwise, they are virtually the same dance. Take that for what you will. Good patterns, btw!
