Thread: good examples of Salsa

Can someone here help me cut through the youtube crap and point me to some specific examples of good Salsa dance? Or better yet, a playlist of salsa clips put together by someone who knows what good salsa looks like.

thanks

when you say "good" are you talking about salsa as pro latin dancers do it, or club social dancing?

I guess really good pro dancers performing. I want to soak up the movements and general essence of the dance in a very general way in preparation for eventually -- if you all can believe it, I'm actually considering choreographing a...wait for it....

FUSION DANCE.

To a piece of Arabic/Latin fusion music that has rhythms from both genres. The CD liner notes say salsa rhythms. I do have a troupe mate with social salsa experience that I plan to confer with (Hi Rose are you bhuzzing?), but I want to start soaking it into my head and start some ideas mulling.

there are actually several salsa dance forums, much like bhuz. You could ask the question there.

I'm curious, are you planning on choreographing with a dance partner in mind?
