I hope you don't mind me asking but just out of curiosity Snork which do you think is faster the track you posted or this one?

Good idea. I know a couple to work on - but I can't see them as Salseros.

Sitalsa.com coming up [if you babes don't register it before me ...]

Maybe SitSalsa ?

Nice to know we can disagree totally on something at last, Pet ...

It could be the next big thing. Look how much someone made from turning a few salsa tracks and steps into Zumba

Sitting down Mambo Madam?

Beautiful Maria of My Soul (The Mambo Kings)

Sounds much more gutsy in Spanish though

Absolutely! It's what really gets to me more than anything on Strictly (even more than props and faffing!). The right music is essential in creating a great dance. The worst offender, imo, is rumba. Hardly any couples dance to songs with a rumba beat, it's no wonder they find it hard to get good hip action! How can you get your hips going to something like Don't Want To Miss a Thing or any of the slow power ballads that are often used? It baffles me.

I'm going to have to learn to dance, aren't I? Then I'll understand this thread

On Paul Simon, I'm doing a sitting down Salsa right now to:

Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
http://youtu.be/uq-gYOrU8bA”

Paul Simon's Late In The Evening is a great Latin track too, a good samba me thinks

Keeping with the musical theme....

American smooth to "defying gravity". I can just picture Artem lifting me at "......you won't bring me down".

Alijaz and moi doing an AT to Roxanne the Moulin Rouge version. My gauchos would be perfection.
