World dance and culture: salsa
What I Was Supposed to Learn:
What I Actually Learned:
As a former competitive ballroom dancer from high school, I was really interested to learn about a social dance style and its origins. This class was one of the only classes that had lecture and dance practice which allowed me to really immerse myself in the culture. I loved being able to try something new and meet other students that loved dance as much as I did. For our final we had to choreograph a routine, our group ended up being all girls but it turned out great and I still hang out with my classmates to this day.
- the history and origin of Salsa
- important figures in dance history
- how to follow the lead in social dancing
What I Actually Learned:
- girls are better leads
- social dancing and competitive dancing are two different worlds
