Lady styling (dos and don'ts)




Styling comes from the soul, and reflects each and every woman's personality. Do not try to copy anyone's moves just because they are popular. It will look fake. If you admire someone, find inspiration in them but don't be a copy-cat. Use moves that come naturally and are a match to your body type and dancing style. Feel free to combine them as you wish .
Don't be shy! Guys love original, 'crazy' stylings even if you are not the best spinner in the world. But be careful not to overdo it. Styling should complete your salsa not the other way around. And try not to let your personal moves enterfere with your following. Pay attention to your partener and his leading and introduce styling only if there is an 'opening' for it. Excessive moving can confuse the guys, and you risk being categorized as a non-follower or a by-yourself-dancer.
Very important tip: listen to the music and do your styling according to it. Don't force the same moves to every melody because it won't work and it will look silly. Fast songs require energic styling, while slower salsa pieces emply soft, mellow moves.
As a conclusion: experiment, mix and match, GO CRAZY on the dancefloor, don't care about who's watching, be original and most importantly BE YOURSELF and you will go from being the admirer to being admired;)
