To answer this question, let's do a little bit of philosophy. Any self-respecting philosopher would begin with "How well dancing the Salsa? ", Then" How badly dancing the Salsa? And finally "Why dancing Salsa? ". Thesis, antithesis, synthesis, thank you and good by.
But let's be more pragmatic than that. First of all: What is the Salsa?
Some people will say that Salsa is an art. If it was true, we would not be out of shit. Fortunately you do not need to be the Van Gogh of painting, the Céline of writing, the Sinan of architecture, the Bitcoin of crypto currency, the Tupac of music, the Madoff of finance, the Rocco of biiiiiiiiip , the Iphone of smartphones, brief the cream of the crop to dance well.
Others people will say that Salsa is a "forma de vida". Even if it is more than sure that, the more you dance, the more you go to party, the more you practice ... the more you are good. But, it's not only the Cubans who know how to dance in Cuban style, the New Yorkers who dance Puerto Rican (look for the mistake 🤔).
Remains the extremists like Ahmed H. who think that Salsa is a sect. Ahmed, if the Salsa was a sect then the teacher of Salsa would fuck all his pupils and it would also have to spend all his money to be able to do it.
Having said that, we can conclude that we'll dancing Salsa, is a skill that can be learned!
And now the best news of the day:
It is not only the intrinsic dance techniques that comes into play in Salsa! There is also what I have theorized the E.S.K.
E for Eyes
The eye contact is the most important thing during a Salsa dance. If you only need to remember one thing, remember this one. Look at your partner in the eyes (The eyes are in the head, not on the chest 🙄). The good dance can be read in the eyes of her partner. The eyes tells a lot about the dance.
Tip: Sleep well before going to party
S for Sex
Be sex. Sex in the bodily sense of the term and not phallic. The real one, the sex which starts in the eyes and ends at the toes. Again, you're going to tell me you're not sex. Know that during a dance, either both partner are sex, or neither. So sex is not something we have but the thing we are. There is no one way to be sex, but everyone has his own. That is why no matter what your technical "level" of dance is, there are human beings with whom it will not success. So be sex yes, but not solo ... in couple. Finally you have not lied to yourself, Salsa is above all, an exchange, a caress, a promise, a gift of oneself.
Tip: It's going to make it or break it
K for Knees
Be flexible on the knees. You know, I practiced soccer, handball, tennis, badminton, wrestling, petanque and of course Salsa. And do you know what is the only common point between all these sports or activities. The only common phrase that each of my coaches or teacher could have shouted at me was: "Flexible on the knees fuuuuuuuuuck!"
Tip: Flexible on the fucking knees!
