I’m learning salsa, specifically cuban salsa. To this I am addicted. I’m past beginner now, and have just enough of the basics to carry me through a dance with a forgiving, preferably amnesic girl. To make any real progress beyond the basics, I know I have to go out and make a fool of myself over and over in the clubs. Here, above, is a video which demonstrates some of what I like about this style (besides the way the girls dance!) and where, I suppose, I want to get to. This guy doesn’t do any fancy moves; it’s all just style, just play. I think it also invalidates any argument along the lines of “Ah, I’m not cuban so I’ll never be able to dance like that…”.
