Learning salsa comes with expectations of becoming a fantastic dancer in a short amount of time. It's difficult, especially for men to live up to expectations on the dance floor. Every individual will embrace salsa for their own reasons but no matter the list, practice is the key element when it comes to improvement, understanding and connection on the floor. And, of course it means having more fun. Here are some tips to practice and keeping the salsa journey going...
1. Be patient with yourself. Don't expect to be the best dancer on the floor the first time you are out there.
2. Come to class with intentions of how you want to improve. Bring a camera or notebook to remember the moves.
3. Listen to the music.
4. Study videos of salsa dancers.
5. Find a partner in class or in the community
And....come to the KamaSalsa practice session every Saturday from 2-3pm. For a small fee of $5, you can bring a partner and work on new or old patterns, shines, alternative Latin dances. I will be there to facilitate and answer any questions.
No matter, keep dancing!
