Dance tips for salsa
Elegance and good taste are very personal aspects for each of us, since we all perceive the world in a very different way. We can have some rather general ideas of what to be regarded as elegant and what not, but we are never going to agree on everything. This can be applied very well any aspect of life, but today we are going to focus on music.
For several years, salsa was seen as a low-level and often vulgar musical rhythm, dancing it in certain circles of society was not well received by a number of people. Fortunately, all that has changed radically in the last decades. What is even more, this Latin genre has earned so much prestige that it is now present in those same social circles that rejected it before. However, dancing salsa with a lot of class is not as easy as it is believed.
If it is true that this type of music is no longer perceived as vulgar, there are certain aspects to take into account when dancing it with great style and subtlety.
Tips for dancing salsa with style and elegance
One of the most important details to be in mind is good coordination between the members of the couple and the memory of an elephant that allow those involved to learn all the steps in the best way possible. Additional to that, one has to adapt to certain rules so that everything turns out as planned during the dance.
Learn the most basic you need to dance salsa
First thing that should be taken into account is the learning the most basic things and their execution in the best way possible. One of the best-known characteristics of salsa is that it consists of three basic steps of a short sequence that are danced in a 4/4 beat. After having mastered this structure, dancers are trained to add more complexity to their movements.
Hear and understand the rhythm and the time
If you want to dance salsa with style, you have to understand music and rhythms as much as possible. The rhythms, the times and speed are the aspects that help dancers to coordinate their movements in the right way. If there is some ne interested in learning to dance salsa that feels that he is completely lost, he can start listening to salsa a lot more often. This will help him immensely to better understand this music and the rhythms that make it up.

In the same way, both the man and his partner must perfectly understand each other’s speed and movements in order to anticipate them.
