Salsa Dancing

[FLchick16]

Hi everyone!
I have a question for y'all. My mom taught me salsa dancing 2 years ago b/c its part of my heritage. I love it, it's a lot of fun. There is just one problem I was forced to salsa at a sweet 16 party a few weeks ago and some of the girls were like "what a (you know what)". I'm not! It wasn't bad either! If anyone dances salsa they know exactly what I'm talking about. Do y'all think I should stop salsa? Is it not glorifying to God? What do you think?
xoxo ~God Bless~

salsa has a tendecy towards looking a tad riske but its all abtou passion and love and I don't think it is bad at all, people will just whatever they want, probably jealosy cause u can dance liek that and they are elephants!

My friend taught me to Salsa dance... I have been called names for danceing salsa but I don't care because I am careful of what moves I do and if they are remotely dirty I inprovise them to not be...
Salsa is one of my favortite dance styles.

First of all...how did you get forced into dancing?

On a sidenote -- don't give up salsa, it's a fun dance. I've danced it at competitions before.

Though, you could always give it up for mambo.

Salsa is so fun...I don't think you should worry about what others are saying...it fun!

Dancing doesn't make you a prostitute.

 

[FLchick16]

LoL. I agree with you guys. I prob won't give it up unless my parents want me to. What I ment by forced wus that my friends picked me up and carried me to the dance floor. Thats pretty pushy if u ask me Well, gotta go! ttyl! xoxo ~God Bless~

I am mixed with hispanic as well you should try marengae its a little less sexual salsa was created just for that reason salsa is a very sexual type of dancing.

 

[chunsagirl01]

I mean if your worried about twhat other people say and like that type of music theres an alternative

 

[rumbagirl]

Never stop. don't listen to other people. Always dance for yourself and God.

Salsa represents the music and culture of the people. Love the music and love the dance---don't stop!

You can always modify everything. You can still have all kinds of attitude but without the sexyness. Just modify

 

[Disciple_Of_God19]

I agree with the everyone else saying that you can modify the moves that are too sexual and make them less of that and with saying that if you like salsa then don't quit for anything! I am an 18 year old guy and I have been dancing for at least 7-8 years now, and I have had more people make fun of me and call me names because I do different styles of dance that they think that guys shouldn't do. I also happen to be more flexible than most guys and they constantly make fun of me because they know they aren't and try to make themselves feel better. That's exactly what it sounds like on your end with the girls making fun of you about the salsa dancing, that they're either A) jealous or B) mad because you can do something they can't and it makes them feel better about themselves to put you down instead of complimenting you on how well you do. What I'm trying to say is don't let their bogus and snide putdowns keep you from doing something you love. One thing I've always been told which is part of a quote..."Dance like nobodies watching."
