I want to start latin dance lessons..i love how sexy salsa and mambo are..how passionate tango is..so i was wondering…what should i wear for my first lesson? can i wear leggings and a top,do i need to wear skirt-dresses? and what about heels…latin dances need heels and i feel comfortable dancing with them…should i put them on? p.s i really worry about the fact that there gonna be only girls to the lessons..do boys go to latin-tango lessons? i mean to dance tango u need to have a partner and chemistry..thanks a lot!
My advice is to wear something simple and comfortable. You can wear heels or not, but either way I think it’s a good idea to wear leather-soled shoes because they are easy to pivot; sneakers or other rubber-soled shoes don’t pivot easily and that will make your knees and ankles tired.
The problem with getting males to take dance lessons is really eternal. Encourage your male friends to come to lessons, although be advised that many will take it as a sign that you are interested in them. (I know this because as a man I am always wishfully thinking that some woman is interested in me; sorry, we just can’t help it!) So maybe you should talk to boys who are not interested in you. Also, be encouraging to the ones who do show up for lessons, so that they will come back.
One little remark about tango. While it is true that tango is better if there is chemistry, it is not really required. I would say that something more like friendship or affection is required, but not passion. Also, dance with as many people as possible. If you have just one partner, you get stuck where you can only dance well with that one person.
Don’t worry too much about details before you get started, you can figure it out as you go aong. Just jump right in and get started! Have fun!
