Salsa Dancing Steps

            Salsa Dancing Steps  are a lot of fun.  These Salsa Dancing Steps  are based on various "beats" in the music.  For instance, beat "2", "3" or "4" represent the second, third and fourth beat in the music.  The way these Salsa Dancing Steps  fit into the music is called "step timing" or just plain "timing".   These Salsa Dancing Steps can be danced in various ways, based on this timing.  The dancers must keep the proper "cadence" (or timing to the music).

Like any other form of music, the rhythm and the melody of salsa music are crucial factors.  In salsa music, the rhythm and the melody are "syncopated" (off beat) from one another.  Salsa music is often written in a "4 beat per measure" timing signature.  In Salsa Dancing Steps steps, the dancers use two measures of the music to complete one dance cycle.  One measure is used for the left side and the other is used for the right side. 

 In Salsa Dancing Steps , the man is usually the "leader" and the woman is usually the "follower".  The leader and the follower, when dancing together, are known as dance partners.  The man guides the woman by giving her "claves" (nudges).  These little reminders let the follower know when to cross, turn, dip etc.  There is so much more to learn about Salsa Dancing Steps steps.  That's why it's important that you visit the people at Learn Salsa.  They can teach you everything you need to know, in order to become a perfect Salsa Dancing Steps.  You can find out more at: www.learnsalsa.com.  Who knows, you might even create your own Salsa Dancing Steps .

Salsa Dancing

In my opinion, Salsa Dancing is going to be explosive.  Just over the last 10 years, salsa dancing has grown in leaps and bounds.  Many salsa clubs have opened up around the world. Across the globe, people are learning to salsa dance.  In Europe, the salsa craze is in full swing.  In Latin America, salsa is one of the biggest forms of dance.  In the United States alone, there are many nightclubs in every city, devoted entirely to salsa.  There are also many dance studios that are in business, solely to teach people how to salsa dance.  This all makes Salsa Dancing very bright. 

            Salsa Dancing is probably going to be the biggest, right here in the U.S.A.  Thousands of people learn to salsa each year.  If packed salsa clubs each weekend are any indication, then Salsa Dancing looks to be extremely profitable.  Salsa clothing, salsa music and salsa dance contests are all part of salsa's huge success, throughout the world.  Salsa Dancing will probably involve more interest from the media.  Dancing shows on television, in general, are becoming more and more popular. 

It wouldn't at all surprise me, if we didn't see more and more television shows devoted entirely to salsa.  An important source to learn about Salsa Dancing is Learn Salsa.  They teach thousands how to salsa dance each year.  At Learn Salsa, you can learn from the best.  Then you can get out there and hit the salsa dance floor yourself.  Visit: www.learnsalsa.com.  Who knows, maybe Salsa Dancing lies inside of you!

Salsa Trend

 

            There is no trend bigger than the salsa trend.  Salsa is so big that groups of people go out everyday to salsa.  Those who aren't hip to the salsa trend feel left out.  They have to sit in the salsa club and watch everyone else have fun.  That's because they failed to participate in the salsa trend (by learning how to salsa dance).  Please don't try to dance on a salsa floor without dancing salsa.  Others will look at you in amazement.  Girls probably won't waste their time, since you obviously didn't spend enough of your own time learning the salsa trend.

            The salsa trend is growing.  Many young people are foregoing Top-40, R&B and Hip-Hop music to hit the salsa dance floor….following the ever growing salsa trend.  You can see the salsa trend on television.  You can also hear about new salsa clubs opening on the radio.  Your parents, friends and other relatives all salsa (or they want to learn how).  Websites and books are devoted to helping others learn how to salsa.  Young men are learning; solely because they know it will help them get closer to the opposite sex.

The best website for learning about salsa is Learn Salsa.  At Learn Salsa they can teach you how to salsa dance, in just a short period of time.  Now you too can get out on the dance floor, instead of just watching your friends have all the fun.  That cute girl you had you eye on might even still be there.  Now you can grab her hand and take her out on the floor.  Aren't you glad you visited: www.learnsalsa.com?  If you like, you can tell her you learned all those sexy moves on your own!

Salsa Etiquette

             So—you're about to go to your first salsa lesson. You've got the right shoes, the right clothes; you've even got an extra bottle of water with you.  As you walk up to the dance hall you think to yourself, "I'm completely prepared, right?"

            Then come the jitters. Did I bring everything I was supposed to? What should I do when I get in? How do I interact with the other dancers? Are there things I'm supposed to do, or not supposed to do? What if I offend somebody?!

            Before your brain goes into overdrive, stop and review these next few pieces of salsa etiquette. And remember, these points are good to follow whether in a class or out for a night of dancing on the town!

 

  • First and foremost, personal hygiene is a MUST! Salsa dancing puts you in very close proximity with another human being—maybe even multiple if you're in a large class (or a lively club)! This means body odor, bad breath and clothes that haven't been washed in weeks are a no-no. Deodorant is important as well, especially when you consider that you may be sweating up a storm during your lesson. Salsa etiquette says: Shower, brush your teeth and wear deodorant.
  • Being friendly is more than just an icebreaker—it can affect how you're perceived in class. It's considered rude to decline a dance partner or to be disrespectful of your partner while dancing. This means keep your eyes on your partner's face, as opposed to other parts of his/her body. Dancing is about communication, making eye contact even more important. Also, unless you came with a partner, don't hesitate to ask anybody and everybody to dance! In salsa, "the more, the merrier" is an active concept. Salsa etiquette says: Dance with lots of people, but keep your focus on your partner when dancing.
  • Be aware of personal space. Nothing can destroy a mood on the dance floor like a couple that keeps bumping into everyone else! If the dance floor is crowded, then dance small. You don't need to be bouncing one another around the dance floor like a ball and paddle to have a good time. Constant collisions aren't just a bother—they could potentially be seen as an ego thing or lack of dance etiquette. Salsa Etiquette says: Be respectful of other dancers and share the floor.

 

Now, take a deep breath, smile, and walk into class knowing that you got this under control! Haven't signed up for a class yet? Well then, keep these salsa etiquette tidbits in mind and check out the 6 hour salsa boot camp at LearnSalsa.com!

Why you should Learn Salsa

Okay, why should you learn salsa?  Because like millions of people throughout the world want to learn salsa, salsa dancing is fun!  The only people who don't learn salsa are the people who haven't yet given it a try.  Just watching two attractive people dance (moving in harmony), looks so fun.  For hours I could watch a salsa dancer twirl his salsa partner around and around.  It makes everyone want to get up and dance to learn salsa.  In the salsa clubs everyone is happy.  At the same time they also take their dancing very seriously.

            I even see seniors out there dancing.  After all, exercise is good for the body and soul.  What better exercise is there than dancing the night away?  The music is so alive and inviting.  I hear people say all the time, "man I wish I could learn salsa".  Now everyone can learn salsa.  No longer do you have to sit there and let the fun pass you by.  All you have to do is go to www.learnsalsa.com.  I guess I'll see you on the dance floor once you learn salsa!

The BEST Salsa Lessons in the Country!

..If you want to Learn Salsa dance and you're lucky enough to live in the Los Angeles area like I do, then there's NO better way to learn than with LearnSalsa.com's Salsa Boot Camp.

These classes are held on Saturdays and they're 6-hours long, and you get together with a big group of people who are learning at your same level (so you don't have to feel like you're the only one starting from zero!). There's a big team of instructors so everyone gets plenty of individual attention along with the group instruction, and you WILL learn to salsa dance by the time you leave the class!

The instructors make you feel completely comfortable and set the tone for the class right from the beginning: you don't feel self-conscious at all, everyone is just there to help each other and to learn, and you have a blast. Everyone is in the same boat as you, so you make friends with everyone around you really fast.

And you take turns dancing with EVERYONE else there of the opposite sex, so you get tons of practice. These people really know how to teach salsa dancing - I just can't say enough good things about them!
