My first salsa classes I have a problem: I live in Mexico and I don´t know how to dance "salsa" and "cumbias". If you, the reader, never have come to México or latin America you must know that here that rythms are very popular. In almost every party you go there is a moment when you are going to listen some salsa or cumbia songs and when it happens usually the people start to dance. My problem is that I don't dance and when the music starts I stay sit meanwhile the other people in the party dance. Usually I see them and I think: " I need to know how to dance". This is why this week I started to take salsa lessons. Today was my fourth class (of eight) and I'm seeing progress. I'm starting to haver less nervous and I even make that my dance couple do a turn ( in the salsa the man direct the woman), I had never been able to do that!. Of course my couple is my teacher, who is very pacient and kind. I hope that I'll improve my skills by the end of the lessons and be able to dance in the parties. Thanks for reading this and for the corrections! I woul like to find peolple who can talk with me 50/50 Englis/Spanish. I am willing to do that.
