☆ From Classes to the Clubs

From Salsa Classes to the Clubs
At the dance studio allot of students that take either group lessons or private lessons and are never seen at the Salsa night clubs. This is very disturbing, often when asking students why they are never at the Salsa night clubs/events the answer is usually "well, I don't think I'm quite ready"

Going to the Salsa Night club or Salsa Parties is the MOST important thing for any level! Ready or not, first of all going to the club should be main reason you are trying to learn salsa - to dance AT the actual Salsa night club or party.

There is no point in learning Salsa if you are not really using it - keyword 'using' instead of 'will use' (future tense). It is like learning a language in class, but not using it in a daily basis - in the long run, you won't get good in the language or worse, you'll forget it.

Nothing beats being in the trenches taking grenades.Salsa Classes & Salsa clubs, they go hand in hand, they both help each other, but at some point you need to use the skills.

An analogy would be on how to drive a car by learning how to read a book or by a driving school.

The learning does not SUBSTITUTE the fact that you will do most of your real time learning while you are behind the wheel.

You can certainly always up skill with classes too!

Now, some of you might say that ..........
