The rules of salsa dancing
In salsa dancing there are some unspoken rules, that leads as well as followers adhere to. Here are some.
1. Don't try to teach a girl/guy to dance unless they ask you. There is nothing more annoying and you lose all interest, when someone starts telling you how to dance. Does not matter if that person knows more or not. Just let the person enjoy the dance, if you did not like how they dance just don't dance with them. Or tell them after you finish the dance.
2.Stay in your line of dance. When dancing salsa, you are suppose to be able to perceive everyone around you and not hit people or get your partner hurt. There is nothing more dangerous than a person who does not know how to stay in their line of dance, and are bumping, hitting you, and sometimes woman stepping on you with their heels, which are dangerous. I myself have gotten some nasty cuts from heels.
3. Do not grope a woman or kiss her unless she asks you to. I have seen this happen many times especially in bachata. Woman dances very sensual and guy thinks the woman is showing interest, so he grabs her in an inappropriate place. Keep your hands to yourself guys, unless the woman asks for it, don't touch no one. If you need to touch someone touch yourself.
4. If you request a song please dance to it. Many of the DJs at the club, will tell you, if you request a song from them and they put it on, and they see you sitting down. You have lost your requesting privileges at least for the night or until they feel like it. Guys please dance to the songs you request don't piss off the DJ.
