How do I become an advanced salsa dancer?

Share on Facebook

I go to salsa classes here in my small town once or twice a month every year. I also know a little merengue, chachacha, samba and bachata. The classes are usually basic and I know the basics but want to learn more. I want to learn new steps, combinations and add styling to the dance. My friend says I dance good and I should do a salsa club for our community college, but the truth is I know some but not a whole lot, which makes me uncomfortable with her mentioning to do it. The town is small so there is not much available for advanced classes. Our town is 2 hours away from San Diego. Would I have to go to San Diego to advance? Are there any videos or websites that anyone recommends to me to learn? I would really appreciate it.

First of all, you don’t need to be super-advanced in order to start a club. You already know enough salsa, believe me. Social and/or school clubs are usually started by intermediate dancers. If you have a club it will actually help you to advance yourself besides helping others. With the club, for example, you could invite guest teachers from San Diego. For now, your best option is to plan a trip to San Diego maybe once a month. You can’t really learn from videos. You are likely to spend as much time of trying to learn from a video as you would on going to San Diego. However, the results from real-life learning are likely tp be better.

    The best way to become a better salsa dancer is to find a good partner and dance as much as possible with him. So if you’re not finding any talented partners in your town, you might need to go to San Diego every weekend for a while. Or you can ask the salsa instructor who teaches the class you go to once or twice a month. Maybe he/she has private classes or can refer you to a studio nearby that does. I don’t really recommend videos or websites because salsa dancing is a partner dance – every partner dances differently and you can only become better if you have a real live person to practice with.

    If you’ve used up what’s available at home, then travelling would seem to be a must. There isn’t much you can get from DVD’s, and even less from on-line forums. You may not have to go two hours, though. If there’s a ballroom studio closer, that could save some travel time. But I’ve done the two-hour trip thing for dance, once or twice a week, and it isn’t necessarily that bad.

  • The best way is jo find out what the market is like and if there is enough traffic and money for you to take a slice of the action. You might find that specific qxbid niche that will give you thousands of clicks every month.
