10 Top Tips for great Salsa Dancing
1/ Always look at your partner's face when dancing.
2/ For a more flowing movement, the follower should carry her own weight and not lean on the leader.
3/ Never step on the heel first, you should always step on the ball of the foot, regardless of the direction you are heading.
4/ The faster the music the smaller the steps. The slower tracks require longer steps.
5/ Keep feet as close to the the ground as possible.
6/ Good hip movement comes from getting the legwork right and is not a separate movement.
7/ Always keep your body upright when dancing, with feet pointed slightly outward.
8/ Be relaxed, do not hold the partner too tightly, during turns relax the arms to let them move more freely.
9/ During the closed holds, arms should be slightly tensed, and some pressure applied.
10/ On the break steps, do not just move your feet, transfer all your weight backwards and forwards.
