I watched a lot of videos as i come back to salsa dancing for fun, exercise and good state of mind. Your videos break down the fundamentals in a great way! Keep more SHINE coming! Love your style, humor and energy!

Thank you very much, this is the first time I have come across someone who teaches from a proper angle. Usually the person teaching is facing us and it can be extremely confusing.

Yes! So helpful! The more shine videos from you, the better dancer I become. ❤

Wow, I LOVE your energy!! Such high vibes. Thank you for the tutorial, love 😊💕🤲🏻🧚🏼‍♀️💃🏻

Absolutely love your teaching style !

A wonderful clear teacher. Thank you 😊 Please, more shines! Love it!

Thank you so much for actually teaching and breaking everything down in each video 💕💗💕🐬🌈🦋💚💛😍

As always...clear...concise...and always funny ;-) x

Thank You Rasa! This is very helpful. Yes, please do more videos like this one :)

Love the leaders and followers shines, and love your teaching and love the song you played at the end for the demonstration 💗👍🏼🤗

Love u from Turkey

I love these moves! I will practice them until I know them all. Thank you, Rasa. You asked me to tell you how my first class went after insomnia. I was dazzled by all the flashing and floating colored lights going everywhere. I got dizzy and couldn’t do spins. It was like I’d never had a lesson (I danced with Fred Astsire studios almost 2 years but 15 years ago). I was tired and kept hoping we were done. I loved the dance and all the people. I had a small concussion in a car accident a year ago and another in October so maybe that is why I felt dizzy. I think proper sleep and protein and fish oil for my brain will help. I am wearing ballet flats tomorrow night instead of wide sandals to spin better. Again I’m excited and not sleepy anticipating the class. I practice from your videos at home and watch them one after another in between. It's like a personal private lesson before a group class. I love being back in the dance world at 61. My very best time was 43 to 47. Wish I'd started in my 20s so I could've danced longer. I hope I have many years ahead to get good again. Thanks for asking!

I enjoy your videos. They always make me get up and dance even when I’m having a bad day and don’t feel like it.

Love the video Rasa, the shines look great to music! Look forward to your next video :)

Love this Rasa ❤🎉❤🎉Thank you so much !!

Hi Rasa! Thanks for teaching these "shines" ... this has been super fun & educational!

Thank you Rasa. When we learn shines in group class they are so long e.g. eight 8 counts. It’s unlikely that I would remember any of this or be able to incorporate even bits of them into social dancing as dissected they wouldn’t seem to flow or they take up too much space (require traveling). Also many of these shines we learn are performance oriented and look odd during a social dance. There is a definite need for simple repetitive short shines one could gracefully slip into a partner break. This is a much needed video series in the KZfaq salsa world. Thanks again for taking the time to post these. Sandy in Dallas

I like your videos 💕

Hi Rasa - Love your videos. You are a truly inspirational person and an exceptional teacher. Any chance you could do a video on Cuban rumba guaguanco shines please?

9:40 Leaders & Followers! Such a good way of speaking, especially now a days~ I remember my Dance School in the UK when I was studying (about 15 years ago) I was also teaching there Salsa (I was doing Ballroom) to a great couple, both men. One was always the Leader & one was always the Follower, it didn't take more than 1-2 Privates to learn to say Follower & Leader only~ Life practicing right there! XD I know where you're "coming" from amiga! ;) You'll get used to it~ ;P

Very nice :)

Rasa, this was fantastic, as an experienced dancer I'm currently learning LEADER steps and this was incredibly helpful. You just got yourself a die hard follower. Thank you!

Штаны огонь

Awesome Rasa! Can you do a vid for ladies arm styling please.

Nice video

Love your white cat passing by in the video lol

Hay razzzzza good luck dinesh from sri lanka 🇱🇰

You’re great dance teacher! More shines like this please Rasa 😍! And what is the name of the song at the end of the video Rasa?

This was really helpful....when can I use these? Can I do them to the music when I want as long as I stay on rythym,? Or do I have to wait for the leader.? Do I do the same shine the leader does? And that's nice you are changing from old gender modeled patterns .

"you get 2 for the price of 1" 🤣 Thanks Rasa❤️

I love it! You are sweet n funny!

Best Rasa! Ladies steps: 03:30 05:15 07:25 07:53 09:47 12:00

Can you do ladies shines to the salsa on 2 timing?

When I took salsa classes in America my body became a robot 123 567 when I took classes in Cuba 🇨🇺 my body became a rubber band I really really appreciate the African roots that I learned in Cuba it's a big difference when you study in America that when you learn in Cuba I don't know why but it's the truth

Please show more salsa shine 🙇

Hi! Love the video and thank you! See the second shine "side cross", can I convert it to on2, and becomes "cross-side-step "?

Nice amigaaa! :D Can I ask what Camera you use? Looks great quality! :} xx Ps: Andria says HIIIIIIIIIIII!! ;)

Great video. One question - for the 4 step shine, it looks like both leader and follower take 4 steps forward then 4 steps back. Is there enough room between them to do this? It doesn’t seem like shines are meant for one person to do on their own but maybe I’m misunderstanding what a shine is. Thanks again.

can you do more pleas

This is great. But when does a shine come into play? As a leader will my follower do what I'm doing? Or while that be by myself

Please tell me what is the name of the song at the entrance ?

Dear Rasa, could you do just no. 3 shine with the music, I cannot wrap my head around the actual rhythm.

Could you also teach some routines with a partner? Thanks much

Name of intro song please

Hi Rasa, I love your videos but I get confused by the followers moves. I am trying to learn with my partner, I am the leader. I see that you do the followers timing but you don't do the direction. For instance, if you go forward as a leader then the follower generally goes back first. I have noticed that when you do the followers timings you go forward first too, which leaves us trying to interpret how it should go when we are partnered. I hope that makes sense.

Okay those shines are too too easy please can you show me some Afro Cuban Shine from our roots of Rumba that's my request for you

salsa on1?

Forget the pc stuff!

9:30 Why can't you say guys and women? Leaders = guys, men Followers = women, ladies A man and a lady is the correct combination for a dance partnership.

I hate this stupid pantelons and the girl is moving up on the furnither...

She talks too much!

It is a nice setting, great dancing and tips but I was totally distracted ( even disgusted, maybe too strong of a word) by the baggy, saggy, ugly... you know what I'm talking about.... Am I the only one bothered by it?
