Find out what you did not know about your favourite Salsa Dance Groups.
1. Salsa Dance Groups.
Salsa Dance Groups exist all over the world.
From New York, London, Milan, Havana.
They entertain us with their superb shows.
Their exquisite routines are a joy to watch.
We dream about performing their mesmeric dance moves.
How do these Dance Groups come to prominence?
2. Introduction.
We take up Salsa Dancing for different reasons.
To keep fit and exercise, for social reasons i.e. to meet people or because we thoroughly enjoy it and want to dance to a high skill level.
To do this we take Salsa classes and progress from beginner level to intermediate to advanced level if we are good enough or dedicated enough.
To maintain your chosen level of dancing expertise requires constant practice (I mean if you just go to classes and do not practice you will soon forget what you have learnt).
The best way of doing this is to dance regularly at a Salsa Club.
3. I must learn how to do that!!
Going to a Salsa Club is a time to relax, meet up with friends, meet new people and of course practice what you have learnt at the Salsa Classes. This is the best way to learn, in a non-pressurised environment
(although it may be a bit nerve racking as a beginner). You are there for 3 hours or more and just dance with whoever you are comfortable with.
The DJ will play the latest Salsa tunes all night and depending on what sort of club you are in will play a few Merengue, Bacahta, Reggaeton etc. tunes for a bit of variety. However on special occasions, or in some clubs every night, the dancing is interrupted to present a show.
A Salsa Dance Group will soon take to the dance floor or stage and you will soon be enthralled by their movements, choreographed partnerwork, footwork, and professionalism. You look at all their movements and secretly wish you could do half the moves that they are doing. You would die for it.
4. Who are they?
As you see more of these shows and the dancers that participate in them you begin to wonder about or are even fascinated by them. You may ask:
Why do they do what they do?
Why don't they just go to clubs and dance like us?
Do they really have to perform?
Or you may be dying to perform just as they do and wonder:
How can I get into a dance group?
How can I get to perform as he/she is doing?
You may even get to chat to them for some advice.
