Salsa is an exciting and passionate dance.
Salsa dancing is a good hobby for those who want to stay social and active. If lessons are prohibitively costly, or you can't find any at a convenient time or location, you can learn the basics online at your own convenience. Grab a partner, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to learn - at home and for free.
Instructions
1. Look at websites with step charts to get the basics. Learning from text descriptions and text charts alone is difficult but can serve to help you learn the basic concepts of the dance.
2. Watch videos of salsa lessons for beginners, which you can find on salsa websites and general video resources like Youtube. A wide variety of videos show the basic steps and patterns of the dance. Find instructors that you like and follow along with the videos they have available.
3. Practice regularly, preferably with a partner since, much like the tango, it takes two to salsa. Refer back to the step charts and videos if you have trouble. Real-world practice is the key to learning the salsa, even if you learn the steps from the Internet. Dance to real salsa music, whether from your own collection or found somewhere online.
4. Visit a local salsa club if any are available, and take your newly learned skills out on the dance floor. Get pointers from experienced salsa dancers.
