Salsa Dance Steps And Me

When I was younger I always thought that dancers were one of the most amazing creatures to watch—almost magical. The way they move to the music, how they sparkle and the perpetual fun they always seem to exude. Well, I didn’t know then it was just a performance, but the impression still remained. I still loved dance. So one day I decided to go where many dancing dream chasers go—enroll in a class and learn ballroom. This is my story with salsa dance steps.

The first thing I learned about salsa is that it is more than the movements—it is the attitude that is the framework of this dance. What is salsa anyway other than a fun, sassy and flirty dance music? Go into that mode and feel the music move your body to the beat. When you got the attitude down, then your salsa dance steps will look more authentic.

Starting salsa was fun but I have to say when we began learning those twists and turns—I had the best time! I don’t know what it was. The adrenalin that kicks in with exercise, the music and the general festive atmosphere all contributed to the amazing experience I’m sure most people have when they first learn how to groove to this Cuban-originated dance.I don’t know where this adventure will take me next but I sure do hope that if a little girl ever catches a glimpse of me dancing— she’ll think I’m a magical creature that she can later grow up to be one day.
