   SALSA…….. starts with a basic. the count 1 starts with ur right foot which steps in place. count 2 is ur left foot which steps forward.count 3 is ur right foot which steps in place while ur count 2 foot stays forward. (in salsa count 4 is still there but silent) count 5, bring that count 2 (left) foot back in place so that u look as if ur standing with both feet together. count 6, ur right foot will step back. count 7, left foot steps in place while ur right foot is still back. thats SALSA!!!! u just repeat the steps all over again: 1 ……start with ur right foot again since u just finished with ur left.

   MERENGUE……a little history. when soliders from the Dominican Republic came back from the war their friends and family hosted a huge party. now each solider was wounded there for they danced with a limp. so back to merengue. picture ur self waiting for the bus. u lean with ur hip. However u get tired so u switch from hip to hip. thats MERENGUE. threw out the dance ur switching hips however let the man leads. (in partner dancing the lady’s never wrong!:D because the man should know how to lead:D!!lol)

   BACHATA……. consist of 3 steps going left and right. Start with ur right foot steping out to ur right. count 2: bring ur left foot in to stand with ur feet together. count3: bring that right foot out again to ur right side. count4:bring ur left foot in again (to stand with both feet together) however this step is a tap on the floor. then u do the exact thing to ur left side. this time since u finished with a tap on ur left foot, ur goin to start with that left foot steping out to ur left.

   i hope i helped if anything tryout some salsa classes. surprisingly they are cheap. plus it’s a great way to shape up calves and thighs!!!!!

   Learning to dance is more visual than anything, go observe a class at a studio or community program, or go on YouTube to see. Each of those dances have different styles, and may be danced differently. Especially salsa.
