How can I get a better rhythm and learn to dance?

Posted on Tuesday in learn latin dancing | by

I recently tried a locally based dance lesson to learn how to dance in latin american styles (cumbia, salsa etc). I discovered I have no rhythm whatsover and the dance studio struggled with me as well. My wife is Ecuadorian and I want to impress her in about 9 months for our wedding aniversary (she is in Ecuador now and can’t teach me, plus the suprise would be nice). I thought about getting a dance mat for rhythm training but don’t know what to look for with the right music (don’t advise any night club type music please). Is there also any good DVD’s out there so I can at least get the basics before I go back to another dance studio? Any help would be great….

step 1: buy a playstation (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc)

step 2: get a dance dance revolution cd (ANY 1 of em that is compatible with your playstation)

step 3: get a compatible dancing pad

step 4: play XD

my fav ddr is 4th mix: "do it all night" and "in the heat of the night"
