to come, there a few tips that you should keep in mind when you're just starting out. Although this article won't teach you how to dance in the first place (that you should get from online videos or from a live dance instructor - I recommend a live dance instructor starting out), it does aim to guide you along the way for your first beginning steps - whether you are a male or female dancer. Let's dive in, shall we?
Beginning Principle: Salsa Is Just Like Walking
Tip #1: Don't Step With The Same Foot Twice
Tip #2: Take Normal Strides
Tip #3: Don't Forget To Dance With Your Hands
Conclusion
There are many guiding principles that a dancer should at least be aware of when they are just starting out learning to dance salsa. In this article, I've only discussed just one of those principles in making the case that salsa is just like walking. Most assuredly, other guiding principles will be discussed in upcoming articles. But for now, just remember the tips in this article: don't step with the same foot twice, take normal strides, and don't forget to dance with your hands. Then you'll come to realize for yourself that salsa dancing IS just like walking.

Have you heard of Earth Dance? It's like some intense hippie culture dance festival that started in London ten years ago. I guess each year its in a different city, this year its in Miami. If I lived there, I would probably check it out.
I'm not sure if this is the correct video for this festival, but the description of the videos for it in youtube were a little vague. Anyway, here's what I found:
Wow, those guys look pretty hippy-ish. I'm always a little scared of that culture, no matter how much love they have.
Apparently, the festival has something going on in several ciites as well that "An estimated one million people spanning 350 locations and 60 nations will unite Saturday for what has been dubbed the world’s largest synchronized music and dance festival for peace." (taken from http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2007/09/give_peace_a_dance.php)
Very interesting, I wonder if there is something going on where I live. I starts this saturday, so look it up, and join some crazy dancing for the sake of "peace."
