Salsa tips:

The best advise if you want to learn to dance salsa is to take classes and to practice the steps on the salsateques as much as possible. Salsa is fun at all levels and this should be your mindset. It is always nice to dance with an enthusiastic person.
BTW – you do not need a dance partner to take lessons – just go take the class – usually they will change partners all the time during lessons.
The salsa environment has been in Tucson for only 3 years now which means that you will have a fairly good chance of being among the best dancers fairly quickly if you are enthusiastic.
We have provided a list (non-exhaustive) of the best places to learn salsa and where to go dance salsa – enjoy - we hope to see you on the salsa scene.
