Emily Alabi & Oliver Pineda social salsa dancing @ 2019 Vegas Salsa Congress! 

Amina Melancon well it’s a social, not a performance at a show, hate when people over show off at socials and don’t let anyone dance or even dance like normal people who are not performing.

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it - Cab Calloway.

its also hard to dance on a carpet

Totally. It’s just what I feel is they immerse themself into full of the musicality.

This people they dont know how to dance they only doing go around and around bueltas y bueltas las mismas buetas old day crazy massing up the salsa ridiculs @@afic10

I'm black, but get mistaken as Mexican or Puerto Rican, and I love salsa music and dancing! And yes! It's VERY sensual! It's the type of music that makes you happy and makes you want to dance!

@@michellemullins4588 even though mexico is apart of latin America, salsa isn't that popular and is seen as a foreign dance.

@@freecreak408 No, i'm Mexican and salsa is very popular here.

@@freecreak408 es popular en México por nuestra cercanía con Cuba ❤️

@@freecreak408 salsa is extremely popular in mexico, wtf 🤣

That is basically the lead's job.

@@vp4822 In cross body salsa.

hah I found him showcasing himself quite a bit.

Maybe because dancing isn't all about showcasing your partner? Last time I checked it's all about having fun.

@@drummonkeystuffuk1875 it's both. But dancing Is a reflection of society or cultural values. It is about showcasing the freedom and beauty of the woman allowed by the lead and protection of the man.

BUT IT IS NOT SALSA DANCE. Salsa you actually dance not do rounds and rounds

Dude A+? They’re like level 4 from 1 to 10 no lies, they very stiff no salsa swag at all.

The male dancer sticking his arse out looking stiff...is a hard pass

Straight haters here. My guy is killing it with this women! My guy has all the tricks in the book without being a clown on the dance floor

why not move back

All of that is over

SAME

Guess, it's time to practice shines then.

@@HealthdatingVampire Lol I've been doing that since April, can we have social dancing back now?

OUR TIME WILL COME!!!

NOT SALSA

Perfect? The guy is an intermediate dancer

@@ArisenLord LOL, he's a multi time world champion salsa dancer. Intermediate... lol.

@@garyco766 Today everyone is "world champion" 🥱 just look, he is not even on time in some parts. He also has a poor musicality. Just watch the truly world gods like Yoandy Villaurrutia, Maykel Fonts, Gigi Bianco, Bersy Cortez, Yanet Fuentes, etc. I won a competition against people from different countries too, so, am I world champion too? Don't believe those things

@@ArisenLord You have no idea what you're talking about. I watched him compete with Luda Kroiter at the Puerto Rico Salsa Congress. They came in 3rd because the home town judges were desperate that year for a Puerto Rican winner. The home town crowd booed, *loudly*, when the results came in because they (we) all knew who the winners should have been. The next year (2005) Albert Torres got ESPN to do a World Salsa Championships in Las Vegas. They won it. They won it again the next year, then 2 years later in Miami. Was this his best dancing? No. Is he an intermediate dancer? Don't be stupid. When I first saw them compete they danced on 1, but a few years later (don't remember when exactly) they switched to on 2. He's a legit salsa dancer.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???? one of the best??!?!?!?!?! You don't have any single idea what you are talking about... The guy is not even a semiprofesional dancer...he has no musicality

@@ArisenLord you do know that both of these people are world class dancers? the male was 10x world salsa champion..either you havent informed yourself at all or just have no idea of salsa... just stop comment if you dont know better..

@@painuser100 yeah yeah...today everyone is "world champion" 🥱🥱

10x salsa world champ really? Dude from 1 to 10 he’s at most a level 4, salsa contest are for ppl who don’t know what real salsa is, how many ppl from NY do you see in a salsa contest? 0, International salsa contest are a bunch of European trying to dance salsa. Hey I grew up dancing salsa, they don’t know how to dance salsa, they still stiff like newbie’s, they have no salsa swag at all, hope we can bet on this.

Daaamn, that's smoooth, I didn't even notice jajaja

Yeeah, indeed😍!!! Thanks! What a pleasure to dance with such partner. This is the difference between an amateur and professional dancer. The last ones have their eyes everywhere and they are able to controle each move and step of theirs even on high speed and for everybody's safety.

Yes, a real pro!

I’m starting salsa dancing lessons this week Victor! You can do anything you want!

Look up salsa dance clubs in your city and go out there so you can learn to dance

you should

X2

Take the lessons.. And prepare for many years of struggle. But you can do it nonetheless.

All I did was watch a few salsa videos of people naturally enjoying and dancing salsa (not the professional bullshit) and I learned within a week. I love dancing any Spanish music already so I guess I don't need lessons 😪😪♥️♥️

Watching this is making me think. Holly #### when was the last time I danced. Going from one project to the next and working long ours. In the end for what? I have to get back to working to live, not living to work. It is so easy to get caught up.

Real salsa. Or dancing like an spinning toy?? Just so you know. THAT IS NOT SALSA

@@hiroshinoda7631 ??

Name first song please ? 😊

@@marcelb6479 llorarás - Oscar De Leon

Nice. I used to do it in my younger days. I'm feeling nostalgic. Do you know of famous couples in salsa dancing throughout history? Like if I wanted to look for videos of them?

@@CUStudioFilms Eddie Torres and Oliver Pineda got some good videos

That IS NOT SALSA

Brivn Lives Life That happens with me too all the time lol

@@KAVITZ1889 te gusta bailar ?

Brivn Lives Life Si 💃🏽

@@KAVITZ1889 what do you like to dance ?

If she accidentally slapped me with her hair, I would thank her for her time and apologize for the inconvenience

@ZzLuna Z Esa cosa llamado asmr no te va alludar nada en lo que dises inspirar...te mantiene en un mundo solitario i todo contrario de tu comentario. Que pena.

@@carlossuavemente379 lo que le dices a zzluna ASMR,no tiene sentido,ella esta diciendo que aspira a ser asi de buena para bailar,que es genial bailando por si misma,y con un compañero puede trabajar en eso pero ser asi de bueno y hacer lo que sientas sin coreografia es increible,pero es realmente impresionante y divertido porque esto realmente crea una conexion mas profunda con la gente y te hace sentir tan viva; y que ama su cultura eso es yodo lo que ella dijo,no dijo como tu pensastes 🙂🌹

That is not salsa

I wonder how many videos I need to watch to burn all my belly fat lol

That IS NOT SALSA

Hi Michelle, your comment is spot on. Beautiful salsa with lovely technique. Greetings from Ireland ☘️. I wish you a lovely day 🙏 Michael

yeah he is the best!

You guys need to watch more salsa dancing vids, Oliver is good but the best??? That’s a far stretch 💁🏽‍♂️

Was there someone besides her dancing?

Practice!!!

C'mon! Practice, practice!!!

Sure I watched this dozens of times and didn't finish watching it😅

nobody inherits it, its learnt xx

Welcome to marruccos😍❤️

Hey! you don't need a dancer partner in the beginning.... you can learn on your own... and only then go to workshops and find a partner there... it can even be a different partner each time.... don't let that stop you! did you try any tutorials here on youtube?

I feel you. Mexican-American from Texas who Grew up in Chicago/Humbolt Park from age 9 in a Puerto Rican Neighborhood. Fortunate I started learning salsa dancing at 9 and incorporated Hustle Dancing at 13yrs of age. Can't dance Tejano (for that matter don't even like the music) to save my life. My sisters make fun of me but when I hit the floor Salsa or Hustle dancing they're amazed and proud of me. Amongst my family and their social events it's hard to find salsa dancers and even harder Hustle Dancers. But when I do we take over the floor. My sisters used to tease me every once in awhile when I was younger when I jammed my salsa music. They'd say, "Hey, by the way. Just so you'll know. You're NOT Puerto Rican", lmao.....

I'm Jamaican and our dance moves can be easily manipulated to look like that, maybe it's just my family but we all have a wavy spicy style to our dancing that we intertwine with some "whining" I've been dancing like that since I was 13.

Did you actually get married? :c

@@pattyyy8071 😂😂

What happened to the wedding. We all want to know 🤔

So, got married?😅

hey! so - what is stopping you - from getting more in touch to your Latin roots? ( I never had Latin routes 😂 but I still create them... by learning... 👷‍♂️

No one can teach you those moves. Learning basic salsa dance steps won’t help you move like this

thanks for the track ID

Jlo

Too provocative! What happened to being humble and modest? Not attractive

@@thankyou3800 😂😂

@Andres Bonilla Her** mom is Asian and her dad who raised her is Hispanic

yep she's amazing.. stunningly pretty and a superb dancer.

I agree girl with flowered dress is awesome!!

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Smooth like butter

Whats the name of the move, when he catches her?

Controle total!

There's plenty of others who are as good or even better.

"Ok got it,got it, time to leave bye!"🤣🤣🤣

They’re not from this planet lol

Maybe strong air conditioning :P

😂😂😂

Same here, ac might be very cool at dance floor....as it's salsa congress & in Vegas.

@biomedsci1 ever thought of the rooms they are dancing in may be extremely warm? Besides some people natural sweat more than others.

In all my years of dancing, ive never fell for anyone on a dancefloor.

YEAH MAN :)

It's a case of her keeping her shoulders "fixed", her core activated and knowing how to follow. His expertise in leading, timing and arm positioning.

What’s the song called at the beginning?

Nunca dejes de bailar,😍

A mi me gusta mas sin tantas vueltas
