Dancing Salsa and Mambo

Yesterday I blogged about how great dancing is if you want to work out and get fit. I also talked about how it is a form of relieving stress. If you’ve been reading my blogs I’m pretty you’ve noticed that I’ve mostly been posting videos of hip hop, popping and break dancing. Today I’m going to talk about other types of dancing. I’m going to talk about mambo and salsa dance in specifically today. These types of dancing are so much fun yet very difficult. Mambo and salsa are mostly Spanish music and they require a lot of practice. I attached this video of professional dancers. They are dancing salsa and mixing in some other styles into it. Their body postures are placed perfectly while dancing. These types of dances require a partner to dance with (opposite sex). This type of dancing requires the man to lead the woman. The women must be positioned accurately and let herself be controlled by the man in order to dance this correctly. Elbows must always stay up and hand positions must always be the same. This type of dance is ALWAYS danced with heels. There are special types of dancing shoes for this type of dance and enables the woman to turn and twist easily. They these dancing heels have suede in the bottom allowing making it easy to dance and slide. Dancing this requires a lot of turning, therefore it may take a while for someone to get used to the turns so that she/he won’t fall. So here is the video I talk about earlier, hope you like it!
