Latin Body Motion for Salsa Plus Spins – Jami Josephson

Improve both your Salsa body movement and spinning technique with Jami Josephson in Latin Body Motion for Salsa Plus Spins.

This approximately 57-minute instructional program focuses on two essential areas of Salsa dancing: developing natural Latin body action and building the technique required for controlled, confident turns and spins.

Jami begins by explaining lower-body and upper-body action, then shows how these movements work together through side, forward, and back steps, Merengue exercises, and Salsa basics. The second part of the program focuses on turning technique, with exercises for balance and spotting before progressing through basic turns, Hook Turns, Pivot Turns, traveling turns, and multiple spins.

From fundamental body mechanics to double, triple, and quad turns, this program provides useful exercises for dancers who want to improve coordination, balance, movement quality, and control in both On1 and On2 Salsa.
