Salsacrazy News Network Worldwide Video Podcast

Posted on July 17th, 2008 by Allan Tabilas

Evan Margolin and the SalsaCrazy Staff have combined the best in what Internet video, marketing, and salsa dancing have to offer — The SalsaCrazy News Network Worldwide Video Podcast. The episodes are 6-10 minute news videos, similar to the idea of a local news segment, with high production value. Each episode highlights the current salsa events in the U.S. and the world. Never heard of the Crystal Salsa Party in Poland? Evan mentioned the party that is located 150m deep in a salt mine. How about the Croatian Salsa Festival? Evan has that down too. For reference, Evan also adds his own insight if he’s previously been to an event. Salsacrazy has so far produced five episodes for their worldwide podcast, and eleven episodes for their Salsa Dancing Bay Area (California) news videocast. Additionally, each videocast features a website of the week. Our good friend Anthony Persaud from Addicted2Salsa and Earl Rush from Stuck on Salsa received dap and salsa love from the news podcast. The videos are that they are completely free, and you can watch or subscribe to them via iTunes or through their RSS feed.

In addition, SalsaCrazy has a great blog that we follow through a RSS reader like Google Reader. Among their most notable posts were the series of entries on the 2007 World Salsa Championships written by Dakin Ferris. They were one of the few sites who had neartime results (and video) of each day from the biggest salsa competition in the world (sorta like an Engadget or Gizmodo at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas). SalsaCrazy also offers a large number of instructional DVDs for salsa, bachata, and other dances (ballroom from DanceCrazy, from beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention their online SalsaBootCamp.com site, as they offer instructional salsa content online too. Again, their DVDs and online vides have very high production value too.
