I'd never really seen much of what the world has to offer in terms of salsa, and then one day I stumbled across Johnny Vasquez on YouTube by accident while I was looking for a song.  It finally dawned on me that if I wanted to see some great dancers then chances are that I could find them on YouTube, and watching them do their thing has been wonderful for opening my eyes up to what's out there and what the possibilities are.  The dancers I'd watch most regularly are the Vasquez brothers, Magna Gopal, Nery from the US and a guy I've just discovered recently called Frankie Martinez, but I'm always on the lookout for more.  Just wondering if anyone else has any YouTube favourites they'd like to share?

Frankie of course. Others preferred dancers:

Juan Matos, Mykael Fonts, The Santorico dance company, Seaon Stylist, the plurichampion Oliver Pineda, and of course the ever green Mambo King Eddie Torres. All of them except Mykael are on2 dancers.

Shaka Brown, Juan Matos. Frankie Martinez, Adolpo Indochea, Paul Baarn, Michael Jackson, Al Espinoza, Prabhu Deva. They are all people who have inspired me in some way.

Nice one - there are a few names there I haven't come across before.  Christian Oviedo is another guy I forgot to mention, he's a top performer but an electric social dancer as well.  I've come across a good few guys as well whose names I didn't get from watching clips of Magna Gopal and Liz Lira social dancing - they seem to attract the better dancers in a room :-)

Hehe, I love spending a couple of hours scouting around youtube for good videos

Here's a few of my favs:

Mike from U-Tribe and Dom from Ramark (Worth watching till the end!)

Tropical Gem v U-Tribe (in a proper boxing ring!)

Marchant & Davina (I just love to watch them dance!)

A couple called Oliver & Luda (Bloody fast routine..):

Lee & Shelly of course:

Hehe will leave it at those for now

I really love Nuno & Vanda and of course Susana Montero.  Also Ismael Otero (New Jersey) is good.  Here are a few youtube videos I like:
