Since the times of antiquity, dancing has been considered as
a non-verbal way of communication. Often participatory, its ceremonial flavor
has evolved into a more aesthetic and artistic twang. With this in mind, it
bestows the dancers a duty to make the art appealing to the audience. But how
can this be done? How could they seduce their viewers into a hearty round of
applause?
Behind our minds we know the rhetorical answer to this
somewhat helpless question. Even though the facts often make us feel like the
character played by Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun where he say “I want
to fly!” and then his wife approaches him and says “First eat your eggs.” All
we want is to fly, to dance! We care very little about the eggs, the basics.
Just like any other task which involves skill, practice and
a firm foundation holds the key to the highest levels of learning, especially
in salsa. A dancer should have a secure understanding of the basics like the
arm tension, change of weight, and basic footwork. The better a dancer
understands these things, the faster will his progress be in improving his
dancing. Another important aspect when dancing is measuring your partner, again
the basic moves are used to gauge how difficult a routine you can pull off
together and adjusting your lead from there.
Never forget that salsa is all about the lady. The image
that has to be seared in their minds is that the lady is the ‘picture’ and the
man is the ‘frame’. The dance delights the viewers through their elegance,
sexiness and lightheartedness. And this along with styling comes once the basic
routines has been achieved.
On the internet you will encounter a number of books and
tutorials to get you started in learning how to dance. But one that stands out
