One thing I wish I realized sooner is how critical it is to work on just doing the basic steps in your own time and working on latin body isolation + footwork. Also, listening to more salsa music and just dancing out your basic steps to it regularly is also something I'm working on doing more--us beginners struggle to catch the beat and the only way around this is to just dance more.
@@Leonardo-Lenguaje for sure! Listening to more salsa music is huge- it feels like the best dancers already know when the song is gonna hit/break etc. Trying to find good lists on Spotify… but hard for me to know what to listen to
It's not about being Olympic-level; no one is born a dancer. Dance is a skill that requires nurturing and growth. When you truly enjoy something, you naturally want to improve, which takes more than just practice-it also involves learning. The real joy in dancing comes when two people who know what they're doing move together in harmony.
What format would best help you learn new Salsa patterns?!
For example: Show the pattern to music, then do a breakdown of it with counts, then a slower breakdown with corrections/common errors...
Yes, group classes along with private classes really helped me so much!!

That's how my great aunt sally pronounces it! haha good catch :). Thanks!! Looking forward to your profile on the channel!
I like better when dancing is less olympic and more spontaneous, less pretentious and more enjoyable.
agreed! Some ppl take it so seriously which also can make them too nervous to dance - fear of being “perfect”. Need to have fun!!
