Wow. Give yourself much more credit Christianne. You've got tons more rhythm and grace on the dance floor than most people I've seen that try to lean to salsa. Props to you for sticking with it and doing exceptionally well. You actually move like you've done dance back in you childhood. Colombia looks like a nice place to visit. The people look so friendly and sweet.

Now... think about these performances are made every weekend (less fancy, obviously) with average couples in every Salsa disco in Cali since decades. Results: good shape, excellent body coordination, a high taste of Salsa music and good earing of this music. Cali´s Salsa collectors are worldwide known, and every group who praises to play Salsa music has to have a tour in Cali to be accepted in Salsa community. Despite the fact, Salsa music didn´t born in Cali (is from NY from Puertorican/Cuban ascendence), still is the world capital of Salsa music
