Let’s Dance Salsa Beginning Lessons 2
Professional dance instructor Marlon Silva teaches beginners and experts alike with his step-by-step detailed instruction. His technique breaks all Salsa moves and combos down into building blocks, which are then assembled into more complicated moves that can be adapted to any music or club atmosphere. Rather than teaching by counting steps, Marlon’s method has taught thousands of students around the country to dance in less time with greater ease.
Other building blocks are added in Beginning Lessons 2 as Marlon teaches couples to dance, keep step and spin together. Marlon and Susie Neff teach a variety of moves such as spinning your partner, spinning around your partner, and the complex “push-pull” spin, which is used later in more advanced moves. Each lesson is built on the previous one in the building block method, and is illustrated with repeated, clear movements, step-by-step instruction, close-ups of hands and feet and slow motion.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
►Push-Pull Spin – Marlon and Susie demonstrate a push-pull spin, used in many of Marlon’s combinations.

Instructor:
Marlon Silva, originally from Latin America, has been called “That red-hot chili pepper of a dance instructor” by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He choreographs, performs and teaches Salsa and Merengue throughout the Western Pennsylvania area. Silva is the host of Inecom Entertainment Company’s Let’s Dance Salsa instructional film series.
Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Silva has taught Salsa at the Dance Alloy, University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University and Oxford Athletic Clubs. He has choreographed and performed shows at many venues including the Three Rivers Arts Festival, the Frick Art Museum and the Shadyside Arts Festival. His hot style of Latin dance has been written about in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and In Pittsburgh Magazine.
Silvas Salsa dance instruction method uses the beat of Salsa music instead of the counting steps method taught by other instructors. This “natural style” of Salsa dancing is easier to learn and more fun on the dance floor. Silva believes that if you can walk, he can teach you to dance Salsa.
