Recognizing the Clave Change
Posted 3/18/09

I really enjoyed your instructional DVD and was glad I bought it along with Ana's styling DVD after attending her great workshop at the SF Salsa Congress...What I didn't understand after viewing your DVD is the following:

How would a dancer recognize the clave change while she's social dancing as Ana demo'd on your DVD? Stated differently, if I didn't know the music, and I was just social dancing, how would I know that the clave just went from 3/2 to 2/3 so that my dancing should be adjusted accordingly?
