Handbook of Salsa Dance: The Box Combination

This videobook introduces basic elements of salsa dance using short animated videos. Each video shows a dance pattern or a dance combination composed of two or more dance patterns performed in succession.  Each dance element is performed by animated characters we call Leader and Follower.

The idea behind this "videobook" format is to bring video into the ebook format. Salsa dance is a dynamic physical activity. The traditional ebook format is limited in what it can convey about dance choreography, in particular, for demonstrating dance patterns and combinations of dance patterns.

There are three previous videobooks in this series.  This series of videobooks is akin to a quickstart guide. If you learn the techniques conveyed in these videobooks, you should get from zero to sorta clued in about the rudimentary basics of salsa dance.

This series of videobooks is akin to a quickstart guide. Explanations are kept to a bare minimum, with the videos doing the bulk of the teaching.



This video book focuses on a combination we’ll call “the box” using an element that goes by the name “around the world”. It uses positions from a general category of wraps called “baskets”.
