Salsa Beat Machine!

I just came across a great salsa training tool.  More than just a metronome, the Salsa Beat Machine is a freely available online Salsa trainer that. can be used to improve your dance timing and feeling of the rhythm and undertanding of the music. It breaks down for you the different rhytmical patterns composing Salsa Music, using an intuitive mixer-like interface. An online visualizer tab let's you visually associate the what you hear with the instrument that is currently playing.

Salsa Beat Machine Screen ShotThis will help dancers and musicians of any level and style, whether you are "On-1" or "On-2".  They offer it in a browser only version, PC download and even an iPhone so you can pretty much use it anywhere.
