Gary and I are getting to the point in our clave salsa journey that we are adding stylings! The salsa is a very free dance as far as individual expression is concerned, however, I was interested in adding some authentic flavor. Our instructor Shayne told me that most women hold their hands as if holding an egg between the thumb and middle finger.
It doesn't sound pretty but it is! Check out the below video. What I find fascinating is that this hand styling is very similar to the way belly dancers hold their hands. Once again demonstrating the blending nature of dancing...and cultures.
I love this dance!!!
