Los Rumberos (LA)
West Coast Salsa Congress, May 2002
7.5 mb Quicktime Movie

Los Rumberos is headed by Francisco Vasquez, one of the three famous Vaquez brothers from LA. Apparently Johnny Vasquez is also a director of this group but is presently teaching in Europe and Luis Vasquez heads up Salsa Brava.

What I love about this part of their choreography is how they've incorporated some afro-cuban movement into their LA-style shines without losing the flavour of their own signature style; and then break into their super-fast signature LA-style turn patterns always with a new twist to their tricks. See if you can figure out the variations for yourself.
