@Peiwei Cobo yes I guess at beginning most ppl want to learn social dance (salsa, bachata ) for fun and socials, and most time the classes were about partner work so ppl could go socials. This is a big difference from my ballroom Latin classes where body movement was emphasized from day 1. Many (most) of my salsa friends stopped at advanced beginners. But only after that, from advanced to intermediate, I joined another studio and the teachers emphasised on body movement and they brought my salsa to a different level. I really want to improve my body movement and musicality, and I find practising shines is the best way to improve these. Still lots of things to improve as I find when I look at my own videos, omg so bad, but hopefully after a few months I will improve :)

@Frankie De Jesus I have a similar learning journey as you! I can’t agree more
