“Dear Edie,
I just keep falling in love with everybody I dance with! I can’t help it! I go from one person, to the next, then to the next, and it’s all in one evening! What should I do??”
– Hopelessly falling…
Dear Hopeless,
“STOP!! STOP!! STOPPPPP!!!!! You are going to get yourself in trouble my friend! Not only that, but you’ll start to develop a reputation, and you don’t want that! Salsa is a sensual dance. It is a dance that helps you release deep emotions inside. Salsa is one of the few dances where you can truly express your true self and personality through your body… probably the closest thing to sex there is!!
When you’re dancing with someone, and they’re holding you in their arms, touching, caressing, grabbing your shoulders and waist, believe me, IT IS AN ABSOLUTE THRILL!!! I know, it’s almost like FOREPLAY for crying out loud!!! It’s like a BIG TEASE or something!!! But you’ve got to learn that this is JUST A DANCE, and they will go on to the next person, and the next, just like you will go on. Work on your style, work on your rhythm, keep your mind on the music – not the person so much.
Dance with as many people as possible. The feelings won’t wear off, they’ll just be more controlled later on.
Which means, yes, that’s right, you’ve got to continue !! OH NO!!
Happy Dancing!
