Salsa Video – The #1 secret to learn to dance salsa fast

Are you trying to learn Salsa? In this article I am going to give you probably the number one most powerful way to quickly become a better dancer. Here it is. Record yourself dancing salsa and create your own salsa video.

When you videotape yourself dancing salsa, it might seem a bit embarrassing at first. This is fine and to be expected. When I first saw my salsa video, I know I was embarrassed. Trust me when I say that I looked pretty funny dancing salsa the first time I went on stage. In fact, you might even find a video of me on YouTube somewhere on the web if you don’t believe me.

But there is nothing more powerful in my opinion than looking at yourself from a video to improve your dancing. Obviously, you don’t have to do this if you’re just learning the basic steps, nor do you need to worry about this technique if you’re not in a hurry to learn the speed dance.

But if you really want to boost your progress, the next time you’re on a social dance scene in a dance studio or salsa club, just bring your digital camera and have someone record it. Just make sure your camera is great or the lighting is good enough so you can see yourself when you go home and look at it.

The benefits of doing this are many. First of all, probably for the first time you will see yourself more objectively from another person’s point of view. You can take a step back and take a more objective look at your dance. You can almost become your own coach, if you want, and give yourself some constructive criticism.

For example, often when we dance, we feel like we are dancing very fast, we can even feel breathless and exhausted, but when we come back and see ourselves on a video, it seems like we are dancing in slow motion. If this is what you notice, the reason for this is simply that the honest truth is that you probably weren’t dancing with that much impact.

Plus, by looking at yourself on video, you can see any awkward little habits you might have. You may notice that you hold your hand in a strange way or that your posture is not the best. Absorbing your dance in this way and just becoming aware of a few things that you can easily change can make you look much more polished on the dance floor.

So be sure to use the technology we have available today to your advantage. Take a camera to the club or dance studio and have someone film a salsa video of you and watch your dance skills soar. One day soon you’ll be glad you did. Hope to meet you on the dance floor soon!
