Check out this CD from DJ Lubi - NYC Salsa 3. Great compilation of up tempo classic Salsa from this historically important period, including tracks from many of our favourite artists. Not a practice pace CD, but great for the car stereo. Have it blasting out on your way to class or a Salsa club!
Available in most UK music stores.
Salsa tips
Beginners, lay the right foundations and take the time to practice with slow and mid pace tracks. Gradually increase the pace to get your turn patterns up to speed. Get to grips with that body roll or shoulder isolation you have been working on. Practicing your styling to cha cha can help, the slower speed will give you more time to isolate and coordinate your body movements.
