Learn to Salsa

Was such good fun!
I’m slowly getting the basic steps but get confused when they all combine. Give it another few weeks and I’ll hopefully start improving.
Went on my own today, without a friend. My shyness almost took over and I didn’t go, but very glad I did!

I’ve wanted to take a dance class for a while because I have little rhythm and even less co-ordination!
Also put off joining a class because of the expense but saw a Salsa class advertised at £2 a class nearby, so dragged a friend along this evening to try it out.
I was awful; I really don’t have any co-ordination, stepped on many a guy’s feet, and don’t I think managed to master any of the moves during the two hours.
However, I enjoyed myself and will definately be going next week if I can find someone to come with me for mutual support for the first few lessons at least.
I’m hoping another few lessons and I’ll start to manage the basics.

night, tonight. :D

this has kind of been on hold, what with my move and the upheaval and blah blah.

I’ve located a dance studio that sounds quite promising, and now it’s a matter of figuring out where it is, and when I can go. I love the idea of being able to properly salsa, and my girl looks tres hot doing it so I absolutely must learn better!

This goal is alot more about owning my own space than it is actually learning to salsa. It’s about my own independence as a woman and a being…and bringing that energy into a physical form that others can relate to.

I need to get working on this. I think it’s more important to me than I realized before.

I have already started to learn but I would lile to become better and better at it and be consistently good. Also I would like to pick up new moves more quickly and consistently.

I had ‘Learn to dance’ lurking on here for some time and after giving it a bit of consideration, I decided Salsa is my dance of choice (hello Along Came Polly!) I like that’s it’s upbeat and it’s couple-based. Not entirely sure how I’m going to go about learning yet.

Classes begin early July; I’m excited and anxious all at the same time!

Looking forward to completing my first goal on 43things.com!

I had “take dance lessons” on my list, and now that I’ve taken a few classes, that goal is technically completed. So, I moved that one off the last and added this more specific goal.

I love latin music and want to learn to salsa.

Quick update: after 10 weeks of salsa lessons, I decided to enroll for course #2. It’s terrific! Apart from the course, I try to go out dancing as often as I can and I’m learning quite fast. I can now do all kinds of body crosses, twists and turns. It’s not about the steps anymore; it’s about the DANCING. I’m loving it!!!
