Need some tips to get started? We all need a little salsa encouragement to jump in! Even with my background in dance, I needed some incentive to get to the right place to find the right people. Here are some helpful hints:

1. Go to a salsa club or event and watch the dancers. Are they having fun? Who looks smooth? Ask around where they learned and why.
2. Search the internet for the right teacher. Look for someone who has a lot of experience and loves what they are doing. It will show in your salsa journey.
3. Look for the right shoes. Salsa shoes make all the difference so don't spend money on the perfect pair of sassy shoes. You save money and look better by purchasing a great stylish Latin shoe. Guys, too should wear a complimentary shoe for dancing with smooth synthetic or leather soles.
4. Sign up for a six week lesson if that fits or better yet, try an intensive to get you going. Bring friends to make it a party. Hint: The KamaSalsa Get Your Salsa On Intensives are perfect for a quick salsa fix.
5. Get ready to change your lifestyle and have a blast.....
