Salsa may look complicated, but the basic steps are simple and can be learned in a few weeks. The challenge is to coordinate movements with the music and a partner, but this comes with practice. Most beginners feel safe after 1-2 months, while others take a little more time. The most important thing is that you:
Practice regularly – once a week on courses + a little at home.
Have fun along the way!
