Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson – Salsa

Carlos, despite being Latin, has never danced a Salsa. Carlos was inspired by Marc Anthony. Marc actually invited Carlos & Witney to a concert and he is giving him some advice. Marc says his Latin dancing has to be in there somewhere. Witney jokes about being a white girl from Utah teaching a Latino how to Salsa. Well, you can’t deny that Carlos is Latin. Some really good steps here. A little tentative at the very start but once the rhythm and music get going a bit more, Carlos is really into it. Lots of tricks and lifts here. Oops. Carlos misses a lift but thankfully, Witney is a beast who can completely hold her own. Carlos is shirtless and for the final 3/4’s of the routine, pretty much owning it.

Julianne definitely thinks Salsa is in Carlos’ blood. She loved that it was free and improvised. She wants him to work on his hips, using them from his lats. Bruno liked it a lot. He liked that the routine had a lot of arm movements. Carrie Ann thought the start was rough but by the end (after the error), it went to another level.
