How Dance Salsa

http://addicted2salsa.com/2006/08/07/salsa-dance-19-the-dps-lock-combo/

So, another funny combo name. DPS stands for ‘Department of Public Safety’. I got arrested one time at Iowa State University for carrying a door down the street (oops!), and the way they lock your arms is the same way you do it to the follow. The reason for this name is because its a variation on both creating a wrap with the lady, but also having both arms in a kind of hammerlock position.

This salsa combo is kind of tricky to perform, so practice it various times at home to get the timing down: especially the mechanics of moving around the lady and moving their arm down (so you don’t break it).

Well, this is a funny one I think. The name of this combo was given by our videographer because every time I taught the combo I would make a ‘boop’ sound similar to that one on the radars in submarines. If you would like to do the ‘boop’ sound, it is done on the counts of 1 and 5.

I usually use this combo to give me more time to think what move/combo I will be doing next – so basically I use it to stall. Good to have it in the ’salsa arsenal’ of moves.
