best way to learn it's to go to a school, or if you think you have it in you, then get some celia cruz (cuban music) or some sonora dinamita (cumbia from colombia) or if you want to go for the hard stuff get some banda machos (quebradita from mexico) and try it yourself, or also go to latin clubs, most clubs were they play latin music, have classes during the day, or you can hook up with a latin seņorita and ask her to teach you :P
anyway hope any of this helps. |

It is in my blood and it does come naturally to me, but I'd still like to properly learn different dances.
Celia Cruz is scaaary! I really couldn't tell if it was a woman or a drag queen when I first saw her. :nervous: Hahaha. Listening to some of the other stuff though is great. Can't help but to want to bust a move... :D
We brazilians are nuts when it comes to dancing, and I love it, lol! Even my mother reminisces about the good ol' days with frevo, merengue, samba, forrķ, etc. Ooo... That reminds me... Can't forget capoeira! :disbelief:D That stuff requires mad skills though.
Gracias, mastercongo! ;) |

Even Better for u.:stongue:
My limit is 18 shots and I plan not to break that record. But the best AND cheapest way to learn Latin Dancing is to Date a latino/latina and have them practise with you. Tequila sold seperately :p |

And every friday from 9-10pm they have free lessons on salsa or marenge and I belive every month it's a diffrent style of dancing but it's a spanish music night. It's still multicaltural and it's free for lady's before ten pm. So if you want to check it out pm and I'll get you in ok |

Since I'm latin by default..lol I'm a natural, or so ppl say when they see me dance to spanish/latin music.
I loove dancing, it is part of my soul, it's in my blood, without dance, life would have no meaning.
About the dancing classes, just like many here have said, lots of latin clubs offer dancing lessons for free if you get there early, around 9:00 or so and they usually go for an hour or 2.
Since you are Brazileņa, you already got the basic rythm that you need to get going with latin dancing. I suggest you get the basic steps, (which are not hard to learn btw) and then feel the music, using those basic steps you can modify them as much as you want to any type of latin or non-latin music you dance to.
One thing I really don't agree with, is the ppl that dance to latin music with their minds repeating (1, 2, 3, 4....1, 2, 3, 4) that is soo bad! I totally go for feeling the music, the rythm and then just moving your body to it. I'd say for some latin music, ie: Salsa and Bachata, you have to have a good partner to dance to it, otherwise it doesn't look as good. But if you are doing a good job at it then it doesn't really matter////// Ok enough ranting, go to latin clubs eraly, you'll find tons of them give some sort of classes for free before the actual funtime begins.
Let me know how it goes.........:D:D:D:D:D:D |
