How To Evaluate Your Salsa Friend’s Loyalty?
A great place to build your social network and make new friends is in the Salsa dance community. One of the places to connect with others is at dance classes. Over time, your Salsa dancing skill and your friendship grows with your new friends. Below are ways that you can evaluate the quality of these Salsa friends.
Real Salsa friends encourage you to take classes with them. This helps you increase your skill, improve how you look on the floor, and get more and better dances.
Loyal Salsa friends don’t try to limit where you attend classes or where you go to enjoy dancing Salsa. They know that it is important to learn from a variety of sources and to enjoy dancing in multiple environments.
When you say “Road Trip!” a loyal Salsa friend says “Hell yeah!” Road trips to distant Salsa events can be lot’s of fun. Even so, a wise Salsa pal helps you balance the trips with consistent support of home town events. If Salsa locally shrivels and dies, then road trips for Salsa will look a bit less appealing when your gas tank is empty.
