Are you a newcomer to salsa dancing? Then you are perhaps having a mixed feeling of nervousness and enthusiasm at the idea of having your first salsa class. You should also believe that everybody else in your class will be a newcomer, a starter like you, and they will also be going through the same feelings you are.
