Unless you live in a healthy sized commune and are all isolating together you are going to be a bit restricted when it comes to finding dance partners!
Experts?
If you are lucky enough to live with your ideal dancing partner then you are set – fire up the laptop and dig into the resources available… you will be experts by the time lock-down finishes!
If you are not living with your ideal list of dance partners then you are most likely going solo for a little while. This is not going to be as bad as you think – it will be a great opportunity to work on some of the areas that may not always get the attention they deserve. For example:
- Shines / footwork
- Body movement
- Musicality
There are plenty of free resources out there to get stuck in to – YouTube has oodles of Salsa to watch, for example, and you would need a lifetime of lock-downs to get through it all – start with our channel which has some clips which may serve as good reminders to moves & routines you have learned.
If you’re looking for some info on Salsa music – song styles, musicality etc – our friend, timbales player and leader of Tromboranga Joaquin Arteaga has a great channel that is well worth checking out.
