    Man salsa is the hardest. I spend so much time trying to keep my feet
    staright that I cant get into any creative twirling moves like evryone
    else. You should start with the merengue stuff...much much easier and
    you dont have to concentrate on your feet so much like salSA.
    On the other hand you can use it to your advantage. Ive used my "can you
    teach me salsa" line, to get some nice puerto rican girls attention.
    Anyways to bring it back to an ontopic conversation, acid-jazz is good.
