The
first step for “Get Set Go” in
enhancing your dance is to take classes or
attend special workshops that would help you
learn more moves or help you improve your
style and technique.
Be your Own Critic
A good way for a person to realize how they
look while they are dancing is by looking
at themselves (Duh…tough guess, huh).
Watch yourself in a mirror or videotape yourself
so that you can see what you like or dislike
about your salsa dancing and work on it.
Emulate
This is no “Next Gen Technique”
we all would have done it or would have to
do it at some point of time, watch a dancer
that you admire or you consider a very good
dancer. Try to pick out his moves and try
to emulate. This is an interesting challenge
that you throw to your self to make your salsa
time even more fun and at the same time you
are improving your skills.
Pair Up
Get in touch with another person who has the
same passion for salsa as you do and practice
wit them.
Home alone
If you can’t find a pair, hey not a
problem, you could always practice by yourself
in your apartment and don’t forget the
shines
Video Lessons
There are a lot of salsa instructional videos
out there. Even though I personally would
not suggest a beginner with a very basic knowledge
of salsa to do this, I would suggest people
who have a fair amount of understanding to
give it a try. This way you can definitely
learn more moves.
Be Yourself
On top of all the steps, style and Music sense
that you learn the best thing that would make
you an enhanced version of a salsa dancer
is to be yourself. Throw in a piece of your
own style. Let it be localized Latin, African,
Indian or whatever you have.
Also
don’t forget the attitude part…You
are out there to have a nice time. Have that
in mind that your partner is out there for
the same reason also. Be nice to them and
have a good time!!
