Salsa Teachers

When seeking out a good class, look for a Salsa teacher who gives positive rather than negative reinforcement – somebody who makes the class enjoyable and who breaks down each individual step into the very basics.

A great teaching technique that you can sometimes find in a Salsa class is this:- The teacher will initially teach you the basic movements to a fairly fast beat. Don't panic!

Basic movements can be nothing more than taking a step forwards and then backwards – it isn’t rocket science. Doing these simple moves to a fast beat actually gets you nicely warmed up and in the mood. And it gives you the feeling that you are learning quickly.

Once you have learned and practiced sufficient basic steps and counting patterns, you may find that the Salsa teacher will put together a routine for you set to a slower beat.

Because you are now used to doing the steps quickly, when you do them to a slower beat, you can really dance them – with feeling. It is this type of dancing – with true Latino feeling – that Salsa is really about.

This is an incredibly effective and rewarding teaching technique and if you are lucky enough to come across a Salsa teacher who employs this method, you’ll be dancing well in no time.
