Ever thought about taking up salsa classes with your partner? OK, it’s common fact that we Brits don’t quite have that natural ease when it comes to moving our hips to Caribbean beats, but it’s never too late to learn! A beginner’s class will offer you and your partner all you need to know on the basic steps of the Latin dance, as well as loads of other benefits which may never have crossed your mind. If you are looking to try something different together, check out these 10 reasons you should take up salsa classes with your partner!
I’m a firm believer that the best kind of exercise is the kind you don’t realise you’re doing! Did you know that an hour of salsa can burn over 400 calories? Beats running on the treadmill, that’s for sure!
A bit of added passion in a relationship is always a good thing, and going to salsa classes with your partner can most definitely do the trick! The dance moves themselves are sensual enough, which accompanied by Salsa music will guarantee to bring out your more passionate side. This is definitely one of the reasons you should take up salsa classes!
Maybe you and your partner aren’t specifically on the look-out for new friends, but it can be an added bonus of joining a salsa class together. It’s a great opportunity to meet other couples in an environment you’re not usually in.
Spending an hour a week in a dance class together may seem like little, but it’s great quality time to spend with your partner. And who knows, if you both get a flare for salsa, you might even feel inspired to dance more regularly in bars or nightclubs.
Dancing with someone actually involves a lot of trust, and it most likely won’t be easy for both of you to start off. For this reason it’s really important that you support eachother through the learning process, as well as in the actual dancing technique (spins and turns can be daunting!).
I’m sure everyone’s seen salsa before, but not everyone will know of its origin and the culture behind it. Taking a class with your partner will allow you both to enter an unknown world of Latin rhythms where dance is used as a way of expressing emotions, feelings and personality!
It’s said that exercise in general reduces stress, so salsa must have the same effect x 10. Not only are you getting your body moving, but you’re doing it to the sound of up-beat and energetic rhythms, accompanied by the person you love – prepare to feel at ease!
You can’t complete a salsa class without feeling that accompanying satisfactory buzz – and this buzz won’t fade straight away! Being active in general helps to increase your energy levels, and engaging in salsa dancing, which is fast-paced and stamina building, will do wonders for your spirit! This is definitely one of the reasons you should take up salsa classes!
One of the vital elements to learning salsa dancing is memorisation. You need to memorise the key steps of the dance while at the same time counting the beat of the song – this is a lot of brain work! It’s no wonder they say that salsa can improve brain and memory function!
Last, but most certainly not least, salsa dancing is sexy, and believe me, watching your partner following those steps will make you see them in a whole new way. The movement of the dance is full of sex-appeal, especially when paired with traditional salsa music – try it, you won’t be disappointed!
