Hints and Tips

Style like no one's watching

Ladies, starting your salsa journey is so much fun! Usually after a few lessons most ladies are ready to enhance their dancing skills by adding styling to their moves. At first, this can be awkward, but soon it will be an integral part

 

 

of your repertoire. 

 

Little Styling at a Time.  Styling takes a little time. Getting used to the hand movements, body rolls, head whips, etc. takes some practice.  At first this all seems a little awkward and uncomfortable. Don't worry about it! Styling and grace come with patience and practice. Don't be afraid to mess up. Learning is all about making mistakes and improving on those mistakes.

Don't fake it.  Most styling on ladies looks manufactured and robotic if not done with some meaning behind it.  Musicality along with proper styling technique gives ladies that polished smooth look.

Ladies styling class. Don't miss out on these classes. Our lady instructors offer an amazing array of shines, body movement, arm styling and more to add to your dancing arsenal.  Over time you will develop your own style by taking a little styling tip from each class or congress you go to. 

Practice makes Perfect.  Classes are important to help you become a better dancer, but just as important is practicng at our socials or local nightclubs.  "The more you do something the better you become at it".    By practicing often you will become creative in the many hours you spend out on the floor; and its a great workout!!  Believe it or not but you can also pick up a lot of styling moves just from going out and watching other people dance.

Private instruction. I can't stress this one enough. One-on-one time offers the focused attention on you and your moves. An instructor can meticulously go over more technique in a way that is simply not possible in group class.  Call the studio or contact your instructor and sign up for a class or a set of classes today!
