Dennis PaSamba Dance Company
Beginners learning salsa

Honest answer

Is Salsa Hard to Learn

The basic step is not hard. Turns take practice, and that is what the 4 weeks are for.

The basic: not hard

Six steps and two pauses. Most people have it by the end of their first class.

Turns: give them 4 weeks

Turning on time with a partner is the real skill. It clicks across the session, not in one night.

Start with On1

On1 puts your first step on the strongest beat, which makes the timing easier to hear.

Questions people ask

What is the hardest part?

Keeping time while turning. Slow practice fixes it.
