Love for Dance
Especially Salsa
Salsa is a syncretic dance form with origins from Cuba as the meeting point of Spanish (European) and African cultures. Salsa can be improvised or performed with a set routine. The dance is popular throughout Latin America as well as in North America, Europe, Australia, and some countries in Asia and the Middle East. It is fast becoming a global phenomenon. Although I enjoy dancing Tango, Kizomba and Bachata, Salsa is my favorite. Below are my top recommendations to becoming a great Salsa dancer.
- Firstly, take classes. Nothing beats a one-on-one lesson with an instructor.
- Secondly, practice. Take part in salsa socials and practice what you did in class. They're affordable and loads of fun.
- Thirdly, attend salsa festivals if you can. You get to learn from other instructors, dance with other dancers and gauge you level.
- Lastly, perform. Sounds intimidating but this is the key to breaking the intermediate level plateau.
In case classes are not accessible to you or are too expensive in your area, I recommend using social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Click the button below to get started and have fun. 💃🕺
