You may have heard the phrase “practice makes perfect”? Yes it is true because constant practice can really lead you to perfection and this is applicable to salsa dancing. By practicing salsa dance steps, you can master dances like Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Zouk & Cha.
And while learning salsa from your salsa dance videos here are more tips for you to improve your salsa,
1. Look for a dance partner to practice with. Usually, people come to classes on their own; this presents them with a problem as they have no one to practice with. Find yourself a practice partner from your class who desires to put the work in with you to elevate their Salsa dancing skills.
2. If you have no practice partner, do not worry, you may think that this is a slightly silly suggestion but bare with us. We have all sang into an imaginary microphone or played air guitar at home; oh come on of course you have; no practice partner does not mean you cannot practice! Just visualise! It is time to dance with an imaginary dance partner step out the move and steps as if you have a partner, remember count out loud to the music.
3. Repeat the same sequence again and again until you are already familiar with the steps. Learning is an art form and its effectiveness depends on your learning skills. Doing the sequence all over again can effectively make you to master the salsa dance
4. Dance with every body you can. We have said before that Salsa is a social dance and you can make a sociable experience with it; its part of what makes it so enjoyable. This will help you progress your salsa dancing skills.
5. Asking someone to dance socially & what is the best way to get to dance with someone? Traditionally the males asks the female to dance. Of course ladies if you really want to dance with someone do what the guys do. Guys, The best way to ask for a dance is not to say anything, yes! say nothing at all and just ‘present your hand’ and walk her to the dance floor! Ladies, if you are sitting down or worse yet, down the back away from the dance floor, there is very little chance you will get asked to dance if you are sitting. Stand up, go close to the dance floor and even better, move your body to the music and you will be asked in no time!
And if this ain’t enough go join classes or see more other salsa dance videos and see you on the dance floor.
