Hot turn pattern lessons that help you become a stronger dancer so you can show it off on the dance floor.
BAILA Society's attention to detail and technique have placed Daniel and Ahtoy amongst the world's most sought after partnerwork instructors. BASo Online partnerwork videos demonstrate essential leading and following techniques necessary for non-verbal communication on the dance floor. Leaders will learn how to execute figures with the appropriate signals, timing, and momentum. Followers will learn how to respond rapidly to these signals with the appropriate body resistance and speed.
Our partnerwork technique is organized into the following sections
Salsa in 7 Days
We teach you the seven fundamental figures of Salsa that will enable you to lead/follow any of our weekly Beginner Patterns and provide you with the foundation to master all subsequent levels.
Beginner Patterns
We combine the Basic Seven concepts you learned in the prior level (Salsa in 7 Days) in different ways and with little bells and whistles, so you can practice and get comfortable executing multiple steps in a row and for your Salsa mind-body connection to deepen while having fun.
Intermediate Patterns
We introduce different handholds, additional spins, and new angles to add a creative component and personal style to your dancing.
Advanced Patterns
Advanced Patterns work with multiple spins into half and quarter angles, and unusual directional changes using body weight transfers to make you feel and look like you were 'Dancing with the Stars'.
Pre-Pro Patterns
These patterns combine multiple spins per bar with complicated handholds and switches in conjunction with a variety of body angles and directions to challenge you and your partner to rise to an almost professional level and to prepare you for stage performing.
BASo Signature Series

Member Testimonials
"I can't help watching the videos all the time, to learn the moves, and to feel the contagious mood as well. "
"Beautifully produced video. The music is mixed in great. It beats all of my DVD collection."
" I just started learning On 2 NY Salsa and this site has been a great resource. It's been such a pleasure learning from BASo and I find the concept of spreading the knowledge through the Net is pure genius. Now people who don't necessarily live close by the instructors they want to learn from can still learn from them. And plus, the way the material is delivered is easy to follow and learn from."
"This is by far the most comprehensive and well designed website teaching salsa online. Finally, someone has come up with a great idea. Thank you, Baila Society!"
