I have seen this guy around a couple of times. He is pretty inspiring. Salsa dancing or even dancing in general is hard for most people… but imagine only having one leg!

Pay specific attention to his lead and his timing. From the video it looks like he has a soft but effective lead. He is not afraid to really tell the lady what he wants her to do, but he is not pushing her he is guiding her into every move. He also says on time regardless of the fact that he is obviously not doing a basic step. Another point of interest is that he isn’t doing really complicated moves and turn patterns. You see him doing a lot of basic girls right turns and cross body leads. He is not dancing outside of his skill level and the reason he looks good is because of this. I will write a blog post about this a little later and elaborate.

He really is proof that you can do anything you set your mind to and those people who say they can’t dance, lol at least they have two legs! Anyone can be really great at Salsa dancing. You just have to put your mind to it.
