The Addicted2Salsa video podcast is back

February 27th, 2008 Allan Tabilas Posted in Salsa |

The extremely popular Addicted2Salsa podcast is back! Anthony Persaud has teamed up with Julie Merrill to bring some salsa lessons to the masses. Anthony first started the incredibly popular podcast as a series of instructional videos of various salsa patterns. Almost 20 video episodes are online on youtube, and those episodes together have over three million views! This number excludes the numerous subscriptions to the iTunes Podcast. Salsa Dance Episode 17 has over one million views by itself, which is probably among the most viewed salsa videos ever. Salsa Episode 19 switched the podcast to a audio only radio show, where Anthony and Karlos discussed topics such as classic salsa music (think Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon, Sonora Ponceña, and El Gran Combo), to cha-cha, to finding the beat in salsa, to salsa/latin versions of regular songs, and more. I learned quite a bit about the different artists and their history through the podcast.

After a six month hiatus, the podcast has returned in high-definition, starting from episode 30 on. Episode 32 is a slick complex salsa turn pattern, where Anthony and Julie mix a bunch of small pieces together.

In addition to the podcast, Addicted2Salsa.com hosts an active forum and wordpress blog, making it a complete salsa community portal. I subscribe to it using Google Reader (subscribe to this blog to with any RSS reader). Check out the site, and tell ‘em that Nuevotec Productions sent you!
