Welcome to The Guide To Salsa... The Beginners Guide to Learning Salsa, the first section, should answer the most commonly-asked questions beginner students have about taking salsa lessons. What's great about our guide is that it will be ever-evolving - we hope that students and instructors alike will give us feedback so we can continue to improve the guide for future readers. The guide was originally written by Ziv Kenet, and has been edited by Tricia Meikle and Rose Knows. Acknowledgements must go out to our Toronto salsa instructors, Nicole da Silva (Soles Dance Studio) and Teddy Olaso (United Salseros) for their constructive feedback, and TOsalsa readers for sending us questions and feedback over the past year. Special thanks to Tricia for her awesome work on the guide. We hope you enjoy the Guide to Salsa. You can look forward to future additions, such as the "Guide to Salsa Clubs". We look forward to hearing from you!   - The TOsalsa Team     TOsalsa.com Click here for Reader's Feedback
