what is a "moves man"?


moves man [moovz-man] - plural, moves men
-noun
  1. a male salsa dancer that focuses only on the execution of different moves, with indifference to the woman's enjoyment: He just wants to use her to show off the routines he learned; he's a pure moves man.

With the growing popularity of salsa dancing and the resulting increase in the number of salsa dancers, there is a widespread demand to see moves and turn patterns broken down and demonstrated piece by piece. The purpose of MovesMan.com is to help meet that demand.

As our sarcastic definition shows, being a "moves man" is not necessarily a good thing. This website is obviously a resource for moves, but it is unquestionably more important to first learn proper technique, including basic musicality, maintaining connection, leading turns on the right counts, leading with clear signals, adjusting to a partner's skill level, etc. These aspects are not covered here, as they are best learned through lessons with an expert salsa instructor. Aside from that, we hope that this site contributes to your learning and to your enjoyment.
