Tutorial Treasuries: Addicted2salsa

I'm pretty sure my followers know that I'm an advocate of Anthony Persaud's salsa tutorials. I really enjoy his teaching style, and having a video tutorial in your pocket makes it easier to swipe back and fourth to see stuff being repeated if you have to. Best part is, in the app, if you save it into favourites, you don't need Wifi to access them (which is great for me since I don't use 3G...I'm so ancient but I'm reluctant to change my phone number, please stop pestering me stupid voices inside my head that are telling me to switch to 3G.)

They also have a free version, but the features are really limited. Not only are there less videos, there are also less practice songs, and you're not able to access other YouTube videos on the free app that can certainly get creative juices flowing (especially those trying to figure their way around making a choreography. It's good to have a few references here and there so that you can piece it together to call your own at a later time.) But if you're hesitant about trying out the app directly you can always go for the free one first.

Not only that, buying the full app will also help Anthony continue to post video tutorials up and maintain his website too. So why not help a dancer to help you?

ps: Yes I didn't do an entry on socials this time, because I missed last Friday. I had to worry about university related stuff and also attend my brother's birthday party. Expect a break in blogging pattern when university starts.

Digging up some old stuff








Oh my goodness, this is precious. I found this really old video of one of my favourite online video instructors, and it's fun to compare the difference of the quality then and now. I have the addicted2salsa app on my iPhone, and compared to this old video, it's more slick and professional. This old video already assumes that you know the basic steps. However, its teaching style is so unique to Anthony Persaud. You should check out his channel at youtube.com/apersaud. Hooray free dance lessons!
