If you want to improve your self-image and gain self-confidence, learning Salsa steps can be a great way to do that. Yes you heard me, no hyped-up self-help seminars and suspicious self-help gurus, just some plain old dancing. I know that it works, because Salsa has certainly sky-rocketed my confidence.
So what's the best way to raise your self-confidence with Salsa? The first thing you should do is join a class. You can learn Salsa steps with videos and online courses and I do recommend these methods as additional means to improve your dancing technique, but in order to raise your confidence you should really join a class. You'll make a lot of new friends and what's even better is that all the people I have met through Salsa are exceptionally nice and supportive. I don't know why that is, but Salsa seems to attract the nicest people around. This in itself is already very good for your confidence.
Salsa is also a dance that has some attitude. Salsa steps are designed to exude confidence and by dancing them this will rub off on you. It is important that for the time of your class you need to assume you are already confident and act that way. Yes, that may be easier said than done, but it's really important to come out of your shell a little bit. It takes a little courage, but the Salsa environment with all the nice people makes that exceptionally easy.
When you first join your class you start from a clean slate. So you should follow your Salsa teacher's advice and put styling and attitude in your Salsa steps. If you can just do that, even though you might not feel exactly that way, it will make a big difference. Ultimately you're going to get better and actually become the person that has attitude and confidence. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, cause everyone is learning. And if you dance with confidence a lot of the people you dance with won't even notice.
By dancing Salsa steps you'll also learn to be relaxed around the other sex and to bring out your sexy side. You'll dance with a lot of different people and Salsa is a very sexy dance, so you'll get comfortable with showing that side of you.
As you get better at Salsa your confidence will grow even more. Now you have achieved something and you're continuously improving. In the beginning you might have faked a bit of that confidence, but later on you're genuinely going to exude that confidence, because you know your Salsa steps and you know you can dance.
Going to Salsa clubs is another great confidence booster. Once you are comfortable meeting new people and dancing confidently at your Salsa school you should try to go out to a Salsa club and repeat the same thing here. It might be a bit more intimidating, but part of being confident is taking little risks and up the ante every day.
Once you've made the decision to learn Salsa you'll never want to look back and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on your journey to a more confident You.
