Learn to dance. Salsa a la Cubana. Instructional Video #1

Salsa a la Cubana with Eric "El Cubanito" Freeman
This video, 36 minutes in length, teaches the fundamentals of authentic Cuban-style Salsa. This is not a beginner's video. Instead, it is designed for the dancer who is already familiar with some style of Salsa, and wants to learn this unique style.

The video starts off by showing dancing highlights in clubs.
Then, each couple demos their dancing for a minute and half each.
At the end are some more highlights of dancing in clubs including a high-energy rueda.

This first instructional video, explains the fundamentals of Cuban-Style Casino Salsa Dancing:

It is oriented towards showing what is unique about Cuban-style salsa dancing.
It assumes you are already familiar with salsa basics, such as counting, a basic step, and some basic turns.
Basic moves such as Hecho, Deshecho, Dile Que No, Exhibala, Vacilala, Panque, and much more are shown.
Explains concepts particular to Cuban-style salsa such as the woman traveling in circles around the man, woman's arm placement, shoulder angles, who marks time, and the basics of improvising.
The instruction goes as follows:
For each move, the instructors demonstrate it to music, executing the move twice with two different angles to the camera. Then, the move is broken down, with a voice counting the steps. On some moves, further explanation is given (by the instructors themselves) in Spanish. If you don't understand Spanish, there is (will be) a translation in the "The Guide to the Video" (see below.)
