The clothes make the man as they say, and while the outfit you choose to wear to lessons won’t transform you into a real dancer, get it wrong and it can put you off your stride.
With that in mind, here are a few dos and don’ts:
1. Layers are good – Salsa rooms are not always heated, but you will work up a sweat learning the moves.
2. High ponytails will create whiplash for both you and your unsuspecting partner.
3. It is a good idea to twirl in front of the mirror at home to check how high your skirt flares up BEFORE you do a turn and flash your underwear to the whole class!
4. Strapless bras are never a good idea. End of story.
5. Shorts and tights is not usually a look I go for, but its one that works well for salsa.
6. Jewellery will catch on clothes and skin.
7. If you can’t walk in it, you certainly can’t dance in it!
8. As in day-to-day life, the dress code for men is easier – shirt, t-shirt or jumper, trousers, flat shoes or salsa shoes and you’re good to go.
9. When it comes to shoes, choose your heel height carefully – too high and you’ll over balance, too low and you may not be able to reach up to your partner.
10. You can get fabulous salsa shoes on ebay, and there is no such thing as too much glitter!
