Here is a recent video of one of Majesty in Motion’s performance teams as they showcase their dance at Tango Del Rey. Make sure to check Ritmo Bello’s YouTube Channel for more videos.
Also don’t forget that we are still trying to raise money to upgrade our videos to high definition. Check out this article for more information or donate below here using the widget (any amount helps, thank you!)
Here is another great video taken from last year’s San Diego Salsa Festival. It features Alma Latina kids doing a great salsa performance. The video shows that you are never too young (or too old in my case!) to learn how to salsa dance. Check out the original Ritmo Bello video above and visit the Ritmo Bello YouTube Channel to see more great San Diego Salsa dancing videos.
If you’ve seen our Ritmo Bello YouTube videos online, you know that we cover all sorts of local San Diego salsa and Latin events. In doing so we hope to give you, the viewer, a small glimpse into the breadth of talent and life that comes from our local dance scene. Someone recently asked me why we haven’t upgraded to high definition for those videos. Here is what our current videos look like in standard definition (this is a great performance but unfortunately you see how grainy the video gets):
Contrast that with this YouTube video shot in full 1080p HD video and you can clearly see the difference:
So why haven’t we upgraded to HD yet? It’s simply outside of our current monthly household budget (we need that to live). Many of you may not realize that Ritmo Bello is run by Elizabeth and myself (John) here locally using funds from our own pockets. The total costs include maintaining the Ritmo Bello website, camera equipment, editing software, website bandwidth, and covering the costs of attending many of the events that appear in our YouTube videos. In addition to this, we cover the full costs for maintaining the popular San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group directly from our own budget as well.
We set up a “challenge” to see if the local San Diego salsa and Latin dancers can help us bring our YouTube videos to full HD quality. Below you will see a donation counter that will track any monetary contributions or donations you are willing to provide us (even if it is just $1.00). Your donations go directly to our costs of upgrading to an HD camera, obtaining quality editing software, and other things we’ll need to make the leap to high definition. We have close to 3 months to reach our goal and we encourage you to contribute whatever you can by simply clicking on the “ChipIn” button to make a donation:
Thanks and we appreciate whatever you can do to help!
As many of you already know, I have a YouTube channel for Ritmo Bello that highlights some of the great dancing we see here in San Diego. What you may not know, though, is that you can now access these videos directly from the Ritmo Bello Website.
You’ll see on the right hand side of this website a small player that cycles through the videos on the Ritmo Bello YouTube channel. Let me know what you think (@reply me on Twitter at @ritmobello) and I hope you enjoy all the videos.
