Hello!
My name is Anette, and I'm from Sweden. I've been dancing salsa for 1,5 years. I dance LA and rueda. Last summer I was in Buenos Aires dancing and studying for 5 weeks, excellent! This summer I'm coming to Romania for a month and I'm planning to travel around a bit. Thinking of Moldova...Belgrad or maybe Sofia... and of course Bukarest, don't know yet. I have a hotelroom the last two weeks in Mamaia but the first two are not planned. Do you have any hot salsatips for the area? Would you like me to teach you what I know? Can I join you dancing??
Are there any salsotecas in Constanta?
Please contact me on mail: astromfors@hotmail.com Hope to hear from you!
Unfortunately I'll not be in Romania any time soon, but I could donate my complete video clip collection. Currently over 1200 high quality video clips of professional dancers of LA and NY styles.
You say you've learnt from video clips on the internet? I just downloaded your SalaGalaxy DVD video clip - Nice dancing. I'd say your technique is closest to NY/PR with the merest hint of Cuban at the moment, apart from the neck drops of course.
Since you're both already good dancers I'd say you should be able to change your style to whatever you like using video clips and filming yourself for comparison. Most of the essential technique has already been discussed in this forum but I'd be happy to answer any questions about LA style if that will help. Would be easier if we were refering to the same video source material for illustration.
I have some additional video material on Cuban and Rueda which I could send your way also, given some time. A Cuban friend of mine has promised to bring back some Rumba video next time he is in Cuba, which I am looking forward to as even here it's hard to get.
Send me an email to sort out the details if you're interested.
