summary: 1. always be moving to the music even when waiting around 2. stay standing up, no sitting 3. eye contact, make it 4. smile, be warm and friendly 5. change places around the room 5.1 most frenetic dancers hang around the dj booth 5.2 move through the room if one place ain't working 5.3 hang by the entrance and you'll look like you're leaving 6.

Brilliant video , yep guys I said to myself when I started , I can stand here just carryon watching all night or I could ask someone . and if I make a balls up of a turn so what I learnt something . Ladies he is so right , I'm no expert dancer personally I have been asked many times by ladies often by someone I never seen before. I always say "yes " regardless of size, beauty, age experience . And vice versa I ask who is there . lovin it 😃
Great points, but I also found out best way to have fun is to go out with group of your salsa class mates, than you also meeting their friends. After few times you are just one of them. So after while you have to hide because so many women are asking you to dance :)
I agree with everything you said! Ladies, if you want to be asked to dance STAND by the dance floor. This increases your chances of being asked. If the ladies are seated, you are not as likely to be asked to dance. Men, ask a lady to dance with a SMILE. If you are at a social with many beginners, men might ask ladies," Hey, you want to PRACTICE?" This will put less pressure on the ladies if they are beginners. When I see a lady turn down a guy, I stay away from her too. I'm afraid she might turn me down. Guys' egos are really fragile.
Great analysis and I agree with you on everything except two things... 1) if you ask a lady in a group and she refuses, don't ask the next lady in the group. WRONG. VERY VERY WRONG. I used to do this and in a small club you eventually have no girl to asked to dance. You can have a group of five girls and only two of them might be dancers.(say girl No 4 and No 5). So if girl No 1 says no, then you are missing out on girl No 4 and No 5 and it's unfair to them. Now I ask every girl one after the other and I always get at least one girl in the group who dances!!! Other girls from other groups then ask me to dance when they see that I'm looking for a girl to dance with. And the girls of the group who agree to dance with me, I'll ask them again. But I never ever ask again the girls who refused. She has to ask me, otherwise I will not dance with her. No need to spend time and energy on a girl who refuses while there are many others who agree. I concentrate on the positive, on those that agree and dance with them over and over again!! And the girl who refuses will have a rude Awakening when she realises it is not a good idea to refuse. 2) when a girl agrees and dances with you other guys will ask her to dance as well. 3) When girls refuse to dance with you, they'll give useless excuses.. I'm speaking with a friend .. maybe later .. not now .. I'm smoking .. I'm drinking .. I'm tired .. I'm resting .. I am eating chips.. etc if you go again to ask her to dance she'll give you another of the useless excuses... So if these useless excuses are true, then after she stops speaking to the friend or maybe stop smoking ,she can ask me to dance (because she knows I want dance with her). But what I am not going to do is ask her again to dance. I will be busy asking other girls to dance.
I’m 72 and never waste my time waiting to be asked. The protocol is that men should not deny a lady to dance, very immature and disrespectful. I usually begin with the instructor first, if there is one. If not, I scan the floor, always move and walk right up lock my eyes and it’s hard to get denied, then with a graceful smile with upturned hand to make it easy for them to hold and lead me to the dance floor. Because I’m an excellent dancer I usually do this first so other men can see me dance and therefore dance with me. Works like a charm.
I read somewhere for women not to ask men to dance but to tell them, "I want to dance with you". Supposedly, this is because men are used to doing things FOR women. So in that vein, one time I was outside of the club leaving and I saw 3 guys coming out of the club. I was about 10 yards away from them and I suddenly heard myself say to them, "Next time I want to dance with you, you, and you!" They said how 'bout now? I said next time I'm here. I'm gonna try that next time but INSIDE of the club with a group of guys or one guy. Lolol.
This video is very useful for people who are shy and unsure, because he or she can't dance well. I was the same guy and i change my mind and i started to ask girls to dance. After that i started to fell great.
What you are doing here Sir, aside of teaching, is education. I'am amazed by your videos. Keep going. I'am a fan of your channel and your methods. Greetings from Algeria
I would like to share an experience: a group from my beginners dance class (including myself) went dancing. One of our instructors was there, he asked me to dance and he was probably to advanced for me and I truly could not feel his lead, which caused me to lose my footing. Before the song was over (approximately 1/2 way through) he stopped and thanked me for the dance, and we left the floor. I felt discouraged and embarrassed.
Thank you for putting this series together. It’s so useful to hear these type of tips as this information is not so easily available on the web. All great tips! One thing I’ve noticed is that ladies often ask the guys who don’t do many complicated moves and yet they focus on simple turns giving them and their partner time to express themselves.
Thanks for the tips. I am one of those women who don’t like asking men to dance even though I don’t always get asked (there are some guys that regularly ask me to dance though) The reason I don’t ask is not because I’m old fashioned (although I am an older woman) but because I think since they don’t ask me it may be because they don’t want to dance with me. As I mentioned I am an older woman (although considered a reasonably good dancer), there are so many younger ladies on the dance floor (some not very good dancers) that always get asked to dance. So it is just my theory that if some guys don’t ask me it is because they don’t want to dance with me so I don’t ask them 🤷🏼♀️🥺
Excellent video, I agree on all counts. Some ladies may think all men have unlimited levels of confidence in themselves, and maybe one or two prosent do, but the majority of men, especially as regards dancing, don't have a lot of confidence. I always say yes if asked because I know, and have felt, how painful it is to be refused. I would suggest if you don't want to dance, do all the things mentioned here: sit down, don't move to the music, avoid eye contact, don't smile and place yourself near the door. It's pretty much certain no one will bother you! Regards, Matthew
Great advice! This guy knows what he’s talking about. As a seasoned Salsa dancer, I don’t mind asking men because I can see who’s a good dancer, but I like being asked, too!
I found that asking by holding out my hand, expecting her to take it, works better than verbally asking. So you may want to try that also. Thanks for starting Salsa Talk!
Its a good idea to get an indication of where the womens mind is.. if shes not smiling/frowning, dont ask her. just wait until shes in a better mood before you ask her to dance. most women need to open up first. I tend to go to women that already are dancing and smiling.
@@salsaventura Oh, but I am.. I actually meant that I would give them "the time" to open up. Alot of times I still end up dancing with with the ladies anyway :) btw, I get the same question from my teacher who tells me to stop looking serious or loosen up lol. even though I think this very common since you wont see a dude smile while hes taking an exam for his drivers licence either right? the more you have to perform, the more strain you'll see on your facial muscles.. making people associate it with: "Oh, hes angry better stay away from him" o_o Which blows my mind lol
*I don't know how to salsa or anything but just move. I felt Super bad for saying No to the guy, but he was like a natural professional & I felt embarrassed. I told him I wasn't a good dancer. Is it okay to tell them No when you don't know the steps & all? You're Great, 😁😁😁* Sharon in SC
Nice to hear contents as such, and someone talking about the social aspects of dancing. That whould be great to hear how to remember moves and apply some styling.
I don't think you should always say yes, but rather have a way of saying no that makes them comfortable to come back later to ask you for a dance. Sometimes you need to rest for a bit and you shouldn't just say yes when you're really tired. I'd like you to do another video on shines .... I've been learning with your videos so good job. I'm currently on intermediate 1. I've not been able to get good good with Box 1. But I've been applying The walk since I learnt it last Friday. Thanks.
I totally agree. Thanks for the tip Peter! About the Shine. I will bring you a video soon about shines and the application on the dancefloor. Stay tuned. So much to share!
If I don't want to do a dance because I'm tired I move to the back of the room or move outside the room if possible. When I'm ready to dance I move back into the room or move to the front.
This age old problem seems quite easily to solve. Introduce a “men time”, “ladies time” and a “men/ladies time” at your party. At men time: men ask ladies. Every e.g. half hour change from men time to ladies time: ladies ask men. The D.J. can indicate the change by a tune and by a digital letter board, flashing “ladies time”. People coming in later are able to see what time it is on the letter board. In this way ladies are more or less forced to ask men and get used to it. Men will like it anyway. And last but not least: it will stir up the party! Problem solved.
Love your videos man, I was planning to sign up to your salsa classes, but I live in Amsterdam unfortunatly. I dont have a car to drive to Utrecht, so taking the train would be too much of a hassle, lol btw good topic, I think its easier to invite people from your own class to a visit salsa clubs or festivals. I went to summer breeze Festival with 8 members of the same school. it was a great experience and the people were very welcoming, even after screwing up big time lol. Anyways, Ga zo door! :)
Hi, well thats life. Haters and lovers. Some people just feel better by being pissed of all the time ;-). What ever we give attention to grows so just ignore with a smile :-)
Do you have a structure for how you do a social dance? For example, starting moves, standard moves with 1-2 big flashy moves in between and then a finishing move.
HI, thanks for asking. Of course you can do it but in many cases that second lady will feel second choice and most people do not like to be second choice. It can come across as if you wanted to dance with the first lady but since she said no, you now ask the one besides her.
@@salsaventura in your case, second lady can think, that she is so terrible, that you even don't want to invite her(remember, that she just saw that you are ready to dance, and was trying to do it with her neighbour) =)). Isn't it the worst scenario?

Great talk. I am an intermediate in Salsa and can you share some tips on how to prepare for a social? I usually practice for 45 minutes at home before going to one. I try to learn one new move from your playlist, practice it 10 times and do that on dance floor. It works sometimes but more often it doesn't. I guess I have trouble remembering the steps which makes me conscious in the floor and I end up enjoying less.
I have been dancing salsa for 12 years. When you are learning new moves, less is more, practice one or maximum two moves in socials until you master them, then go for a new one.
Can you show some solo patterns, when we are disconnected with partner during dance. I think about moving chest for example :). There are moments in songs when we should do it. Please
Hi, thanks for reaching out. One of the first things I would do is start with some footwork. Why? Because you first want to find out your partners needs. If you notice you partner gets uncomfortable dancing solo then it is better to get back into a connecting position. If you notice your partner is dancing solo with fun and confidence then you can move on. Besides footwork you can throw in some body movement and body isolations. There is a serie coming up for ladies that is also very suitable for men. Should be online before the end of the year. Stay tuned at salsaventura.tv/
Confused on why you said to beware of phonetic dancers? I never really thought of whether someone is phonetic (though I imagine I've danced with some of these people).
