Big Dance Salsa Sequence

The Big Dance Salsa Sequence was created and choreographed by BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing’s choreographer Richard Marcel and Chandy David, the ex Salsa Professional UK Champion
The Big Dance Salsa Sequence includes the major steps and moves used in salsa.

This simple sequence was designed to encourage beginners to take up salsa both for fun and to adopt a healthy lifestyle activity.
A full 8 minute tuition video can be found @ www.londonsalsa.co.uk/newsDetails_dips.php?newsID=161
The sequence was filmed at Bar Salsa in June 2010, using the music of Sara McGuinness.
