Extra Tips For Learning To Salsa Dance:
You should be counting out loud if you can not pick up the beats very easily. Doing this will help you synchronize each of the salsa dance steps with music easier. Eventually it will be like second nature.
Try to take two dance classes a week if possible, with at least 1 practice session if you really want to learn. Remember, more is better!
Don't forget about Hygiene! Be clean and ready to go. Every salsa dancers best friend is breath mints, gum, deodorant and cologne. Trust me, your partner will thank you for it!
At first, practice taking Small Steps while shifting your weight between one foot and the other. Try to always stay on the balls of your feet. SERIOUSLY - Small Steps - a good guide uses steps smaller than the size of your shoe print!
Salsa dance wear usually include comfortable shoes and breathable clothing. A good choice is to wear Cotton fabrics.
Most importantly...HAVE FUN! You only get one shot at life, so enjoy it!
