Beginner friendly places to dance in Medellin
In this video I list a few 'beginner friendly' places in Medellin where you can dance salsa/bachata or any other latin dance.
My first Salsa Lessons in Medellin Colombia - Dancefree Dance Studio
My first Salsa lesson in Medellin Colombia was at DanceFree dance studio in the Poblado area of town. Just 3 blocks from Parque LLeres. It's called Dancefree because they have free group dance lessons around 8pm each night. On the weekends a band starts right afterwards. There are numerous other places to go salsa dancing, one of which is Son Havana which is in the Laureles part of town. It's small, but well known for good music. The music starts at 12:30AM if I'm not mistaken. You can of course have an instructor come to your residence for a private lesson. I did a few times until she flaked out with the times. But it only cost me around $10 for the hour. Salsa lessons in Medellin Colombia are easy to find and relatively inexpensive if you're from the US. One thing about Dancefree medellin; I had three different dance instructors and none of them spoke English. I speak a little Spanish, so it wasn't a big deal really. They'll go over a few words that mean basic steps and from then it's just repetitive. Salsa in Colombia is big though, so whether or not you want to learn, just realize that if you go out with a girl or guy that's from there, they will want to go salsa dancing. Good thing salsa lessons in Medellin are pretty easy to find.
One of the things on my to-do list for Medellin was to learn Salsa. So I begin my first class tonight. It's going to take a bit to get comfortable. Meanwhile, the struggle is real. LMAO. But this is me, goofy, clumsy or out of shape. I''m working on the health part as well. Salsa and Bachata in Medellin will definitely be helpful for fitness.

Two of My Fave On2 Salsa Dancers at Dancefree in El Poblado, Medellin
The general misconception is that you'll have to learn Cali style salsa in order to dance in Colombia, but as you can see in the vid, slot dancing is much more the norm in the clubs. Though you'll find that the majority will dance on1, you can surprisingly find crews of exceptional dancers killing it on2 in Medellin!

Salsa Dancing for Beginners, including Basic Steps, Turns & More
Español: Este vídeo de Salsa en Línea incluye algunos pasos básicos chéveres, giros y elementos sexys para bailarines de Salsa básicos e intermedios. Tú y tu pareja pueden usar los elementos de forma separada, o como una secuencia de Salsa continua, usando los pasos básicos, diferentes movimientos y adornos.
En este video decidimos enfocarnos en 2 básicos de Salsa, el básico en línea adelante-atrás y el básico lateral/lado a lado, posición abierta y cerrada, giros básicos de Salsa, cross body lead, y algunos elementos sexys y adornos, como los hair combs.
La Salsa tiene un conteo de 8 tiempos, y en este video estamos bailando Salsa estilo On 1, también llamado estilo Los Ángeles o LA Style, el cual se refiere a que cuando bailamos en línea, el líder inicia su paso al frente o a la izquierda en el tiempo 1 y continúa con su paso atrás o a la derecha en el tiempo 5, y la persona que sigue inicia su paso atrás o a la derecha en el tiempo 1 y continúa con su paso adelante o a la izquierda en el tiempo 5. Si es de ayuda, cuando hablamos de básico lateral o lado a lado también nos referimos a segundas, con posición abierta y cerrada también hablamos de abrazo abierto y cerrado, y cuando hablamos de hair combs estamos hablando de hair brushes o peinadas.
Si tienes cualquier pregunta o quieres visitarnos, estaremos felices de ayudarte. DANCEFREE, Calle 10A #40-27, El Poblado, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, facebook.com/dancefreeco, dancefree.com.co, WhatsApp (+57-4) 316-288-7063, Tel (+57-4) 204-0336, Email info@dancefree.com.co
English: This in-line Salsa dance video includes some nice basic steps, turns and sexy elements for beginners and intermediate Salsa dancers. You and your partner can use the elements as separate Salsa basics, moves and adornments or as a continuous Salsa sequence/pattern.
For this video we chose to focus on 2 Salsa basics, the front-back/in-line basic and the lateral/side-to-side basic, the open and closed positions, basic Salsa turns, the cross body lead, and certain sexy elements/adornments, such as hair combs.
Salsa has an 8-count and in this video we are dancing Salsa On1, also referred to as Los Angeles or LA Style Salsa, which means that when dancing inline, the leader is starting his or her front or left side step on 1 and back or right side step on 5 and the follower is starting his or her back or right side step on 1 and front or left side step on 5. Should it be helpful, lateral/side-to-side basics are also referred to segundas, the open and closed positions are also referred to as abrazo abierto and abrazo cerrado, and hair combs are also referred to as hair brushes or peinadas.

My 1st week 1/2 in Medellin Colombia - Dancefree Medellin Salsa lessons
This is my 1st week 1/2 in Medellin Colombia - Dancefree Medellin Salsa lessons are on the list for tonight. Just talking to the cam explaining what's been going on after moving to Medellin Colombia. Enjoying the balcony and night time view. What I like about Medellin Colombia and what's next. Sometimes it's a struggle getting out of the house. But once I do, it's a good feeling to keep moving. Otherwise, missing home and family will sink in. I will be starting salsa dance lessons tomorrow at a place called DanceFree Medellin near Parque lleras. They have free group lessons on Thursdays. But I'm paying for free salsa lessons. Salsa in Medellin seems to be a great location as everyone ends up here at some point.
I hope I have the opportunity to encourage someone to travel Colombia. Traveling to Colombia has changed my perspective, as travel to any country will do.
