I'm trying to learn salsa. I haven't actually been to any lessons. I'm not very good with following steps, I get very confused. I'm more of a 'feeling' person. I sort of watch and get a feeling for how it should go (which I know isn't exactly the best way of learning anything). I'm like that with music too. I play the piano, but I can't play by sight - it's just too complicated and it takes me a long time. I need to hear a piece of music first, then I can play it. I find it much easier. By sight it's just too techinical and what will result is a groping, stumbling mess.
Same with this salsa thing. I did go to one lesson many years ago. We all had to have partners, and I couldn't keep up. The guy that was teaching us kept counting and I kept getting left behind. :-( Maybe it would be different if I tried again now? Meanwhile I just like watching how others dance via video.
Below is my attempt! It was fun trying to do, and the music is great too.
Now all I need to do is learn Spanish!
