The best way to test out your skills is to dance. Dance in clubs or bars and try it out with all that you can dance with. Dance with everyone you can and have no shame, considering you already took salsa lessons with salsa classes or salsa dance videos. There’s no reason to be nervous dancing with someone that’s better than you. They were a beginner once and they are bound to be helpful to you. You’ll discover that the best dancers that are out there are the nicest people you’ll get to know.
It’s a fact. If you always dance with the same dancers that are at the same skill level, you won’t be able to advance as quickly. Good dancers know how to lead and how to follow.
Some of the nice dancers will even work with you to hone in your skills. It would be really great! You get to make a new friend and also get a mini-private lesson!
What’s more is that they’ll probably know more good dancers for you to dance with.
And It is a must and good to have variety. Each person has a different style and dances differently. If you dance with one person all the time, all you are doing is learning how to dance with just that one person. What’s the fun it that?
To get better at dancing salsa, you’ll need the variety. Each time you go out, make it a goal to dance with at least one or two people that you’ve never dance with before.
You’ll learn to feel who is a good dancer and who is not. When you find a good dancer, you’ll know.. It will feel just right.
If you feel like that your moves are still not enough, take private lessons or with salsa dance videos to work out the kinks. You’ll go a long way fast!
