I Just Don’t Have the Coordination to Learn How to Salsa Dance

Are you one of those people who just doesn’t have the coordination it takes to dance? I felt the same way at first and I would bet most people just starting out do too. If you didn’t grow up dancing, it’s a whole new thing for your body. You need to train yourself to do these new movements and the only way to do that is repetition.
When I first started, I thought I’d never get it. I was terrible and I blamed it on two left feet. I continued to practice just about every single day. Some days I’d practice for only 10 or 20 minutes and some days for up to an hour. It seemed like I just wasn’t making any progress and then about 3 weeks into my lessons it just hit me.
I actually had some coordination.
I wasn’t forgetting the moves anymore and the step counts weren’t consuming my thoughts. I could do simple Salsa moves and I actually had some fun on the dance floor. I still remember that day, practicing with my girlfriend. It was a breakthrough for me and it felt great.
Some of us are slower to start than others but if you keep at it, eventually you’ll get it.
