Good suggestion! Big issue also, other people not watching their lanes, aka bad drivers. Sometimes it is better to take a corner or a side of a dance floor where you and your partner will be 25% unrestricted. I found it to be helpful.

[@thedancedojo]

Yea thats one tip i totally forgot to include. The sidelines are the best!

[@randallf.4646]

I had a great salsa teacher who taught me these priorities: #1 The ladies safety #2 Her comprehension of the lead #3 Styling and musicality #4 timing...and lastly...make her look GOOD.

[@thedancedojo]

All good priorities!

[@FDanceIn]

Very practical advice to share!💙

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks!

[@gabrielemarchioni567]

Yeah, sometimes it could be hard to control the space around us! Even worse, as a Leader, I don't know if behind me there are people without turning my head, expecially when there are other couples that are dancing in a different style like Cuban and don't know the existence of Linear Style, so they "Enter the Line" that we are using, like myself at the beginning😂. Instead I always try to see the movements of other couples and then think in advance patterns that I can do WITH my Follower, Also when I dance Cuban Style. Sometimes is harder because some couples appear from nowhere, and so I need to adjust or, if the dancefloor is too crowded for a particular style, change the style😊

[@thedancedojo]

Yea what it really comes down to is there are conscious people and less conscious people. The various styles can co-exist if people are considerate about space and not going wild -Robin

[@mikemike5732]

Imagine that I am living in Norway, and the most of the people are dancing Cuban, and me with mine wife are the only who dance L.A😂😂

[@thedancedojo]

@@mikemike5732 exactly my point, haha, you're doing great!

[@jolumija]

Emily Dios te bendiga eres la mejor Viva Venezuela 🙏 🙌 ❤️

[@damluar]

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks my man! 🙌

[@SteveBurksMusic]

Great advice.

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks my. man, hope you're well!

[@javiertapia4643]

Gracias ! Gusto saludarte Robin

[@thedancedojo]

Gracias a ti Javier! Un abrazo -Robin

[@Manny_fresh369_nypd]

Awesome

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks Manny!

[@jaycie2213]

Do you also teach ''cuban style'' salsa in your course?

[@thedancedojo]

Hey Jaycie, at the moment no. But I'd love to learn more and teach it in the future. -Robin

[@mitymike224]

I wish people would practice this type of dancing in a super crowded social…I know I do…but some A-holes think they got the whole dance floor to themselves 😡

[@thedancedojo]

Yea some people can be really unaware and not think about others. It sucks, but there's not a ton we can do except hope they see a video like this, I guess. -Robin

[@BKLNHobo]

Also don't be extra with the styling if the floor is crowded.

[@thedancedojo]

Yesss, great point!

[@JLuisT.]

Very good advice that’s seldomly given in lessons. Here in Tokyo, Japan were I live most dance venues are small and crowded which results in the DJ’s playing mainly merengue if the dancefloor is exceedingly crowded

[@thedancedojo]

Thanks! Glad it hit home. Small packed venues can be frustrating sometimes but, hey, we gotta do what we can and just enjoy :) -Robin
