It made me
How I did it: Salsa actually came to me :-) .. I started meeting people who were involved in dancing salsa, organizing Latin parties and even playing Latin music in clubs. So as I got an invitation to go see a salsa lesson I excitedly agreed.I joined that school the same day and took beginners lessons twice a week. The basic steps seemed a little confusing at first but as with everything else, the more you practice the better you get :-D (Many peo… Read how I did it…

Failure is only temporary right??

Last week I entered the third level which is all about proper turn when switching partners. I was completely lost even when my friend and these two guys tried to show me. This week I got it!! I could do all the steps without messing up (except for something small like dropping my left hand onto my partners shoulder a beat late)One of the teachers said “You’ve got it down! Just relax.” I felt more and more confident and could do the sequences without thinking about it much. ....but the main teacher still didn’t let me pass to the next level. I am more disappointed than I should be. It reminds me of when I took swimming lessons as a child and got stuck at the polar bear level when I was 7 with 5 year olds because I couldn’t do the backstroke. But I won’t quit like in the case of swimming lessons. And the point is to have fun and just dance….I keep forgetting this.
I want to dance it at my wedding ...

Can you believe it – My bf is Mexican and a great dancer, and I still don’t know how to dance Salsa properly, with the right rhythm and the right moves??? I always wanted to learn, now that he is in my life, I have not taken advantage of this great opportunity. Every party we are invited to there is music and dance and I feel sorry for him because he swings me around and around and I can barely follow, my heels on his nice boots instead of next to them, and never really able to follow him. I will make up a schedule for us, and if that does not work I will pay someone to teach me. At least at my wedding I ought to be able to dance it …

I went again this week and passed the level on my first try! Don’t be afraid to ask someone to show you a move a couple times if you get confused. I still need to work on putting more weight into my steps.

I passed the first level this week! As the hour progressed, I got more confident and danced better. I was definitely over-complicating it last week and thinking certain steps were harder than they really were, but oh well, that’s how I learn.

I went to my first class today. I didn’t pass the first level. I kept moving my feet in reverse, but I’m hopeful for next week’s class, and it was still fun anyway! ^^

The local community college has Salsa for teens/adults and there is this studio my friend goes to every Friday. I’m not sure which class I’ll take, but I’m sure whatever I choose will be fun!
