Of course you do :P I loiter here also haha! Totally agree, there is a bit of a lack of 'go for the shoulder' taught as a rule. People coming from a Casino background usually get this drilled into them far better than the cross body crowd. I agree, when a follower detects this happening and doesn't find that shoulder in good order, that's a mistake. This piece of styling, I agree is a good way to achieve it though!

- don't I know u from SalsaForums?! "There are different ways to style this/achieve it" - I totally agree mate. But where I'm from, 85% of the girls aren't aware of the need for "going for the shoulder", and will let you trap their arm by their side with this move over and over again, without realising that it would be better if they got it out of the way. That makes it v difficult to learn to lead this move, if the Fs haven't been taught how to follow it (1 way at least).

This sort of absolute nonsense generally comes from people who are clueless about the dance they are involved in. FYI people were doing 'gymnastics' on the Mambo floor before you were out of diapers. There are grainy black and white videos surviving to this day of Cuban Son and NY Mambo that would challenge the top dancers of today. So get clued up before you start spouting this crap. This goes for the clueless latins as well. Fortunate the latinos I know are far more knowledgeable.

What? No, I'm sorry. Yoga and Ballet? o.O We aren't ballet dancers. Julie's frame is upright, her shoulders are down, back and relaxed. Our knees, in salsa are always soft, it is part of proper training. Further it's clear that Julie is naturally very well shaped, and I for one enjoy when she exaggerates the pointing of her admirable behind in the 180. Otherwise her frame is totally fine. Ballroom and Ballet postures are not appropriate to the dance.

Sure it works, it doesn't work quite the same, but if the follower tucks right in and you get a firm connection with the shoulder blade (and you have a good frame) it'll work fine. It's not that the follower must 'push her hand up' it's simply that when she feels the hand connect with the shoulder blade as she completes, one way or another it's optimal if she 'goes for the shoulder.' There are different ways to style this/achieve it :)

u mean that she's standing wrong?women should not bend one knee and curve their back?i was actually thinking that it's a part of the Salsa posture!!

Good visual demonstrations... but WAY too much explaining. The explaining was drawn out and unclear. You should talk less and dance more :)

Julie is great except for the funny bendy postures. You're a tall sexy girl but just stand straight a bit - the knee bending, the curved in back & butts pointing way behind just create a funny posture when you're dancing or even just standing up still. In Yoga & Balerina, they teach people how to assume good basic standing postures to enhance your natural frame which most people don't know about & thats how you can tell a pro dancer from some-one just learning a few steps. No disrespect.

Thanks a lot for the videos. I've already bought the iphone app but I could not find anything about 360 move. So, could you record a video teaching the 360 move.

: Yeah i agree. I've noticed that their hands stay down even when NOT executing the 180
