The Basics of Salsa!

Good Manners on the Dancefloor

by Louise (from C&L)
Over the last year or so I have been hearing more and more complaints about the people’s behaviour when dancing salsa in nightclubs and bars in Luxembourg and other countries too….. so much so, that some people have actually given up dancing because of this! This is a big shame and needs to be stopped. I’ve done a bit of research and put together a list of points which I think EVERYONE should consider. Please remember dancefloor manners are important for ALL LEVELS of dancers! Salsa is supposed to be fun and some people tend to forget this in the rush to prove themselves as a ‘good dancer’. We are all a bit guilty of some of the problems mentioned below, so lets all try to pay a bit of attention to the way we dance and then everyone can enjoy salsa! Thanks!

Top Tips to improve your Salsa Dancing

by Louise (from C&L)
While looking for inspiration for an article I [Louise] found some information on the Australian 'Club Salsa' website which repeats exactly what we say every year to you all about dancing salsa. I've included it here, and put in some additional thoughts too but this just shows that what we say is acknowledged everywhere in the world - its not just us! These are important tips to remember as they are really the key to progressing and becoming a good salsa dancer. Hope these help. Have fun!

Salsa styles

Introduction

by César (from C&L)
Many of you joined our lessons with the purpose of learning how to dance salsa. Simply salsa. But one day somebody made you the fatal question: What style do you dance? You dance "on 1" or "on 2"?... "I dance only with one at a time" was your sensible answer.

In this series of articles we will try to explain you what a salsa style is, what are the elements that define a salsa style and which are the most popular salsa styles.
Salsa styles

1.- Timing

by César (from C&L)
"on 1"... "on 2"... Palladium style... On which time should I dance?

2.- Travelling

by César (from C&L)
Do you dance in circular area or rather in a rectangle? Do I really need that much space when I dance Cross Body Style?
Should I be straight or leaned forward? Should I dance cool or make plenty of tricks? Should I rather dance like ballroom or Afrocuban?
