    This site should have a web-based styling training section, where people upload videos of themselves on YouTube and you and other user comment on them, giving tips on what they should improve.

      We have thought about doing that, but we soon realized most people just don’t like to be critiqued in a public setting even if its constructive. ;-)

        Then maybe there should be some privacy options, like “Only show this to the admins”, “Only show this to registered users”, etc. :)

        Or maybe you can create a paid service – giving advice over the web. The guys at T-Nation did it with bodybuilding, it’s probably possible with salsa too, as long as the clients are dedicated.

    Some interesting tips:

    • if you’re a guy and your finger joints start to hurt from spinning your spin-eager partner, you can always just stick your spinning finger to one of its neighbours for support using duck tape. I’m currently going to the salsa club with a roll of duck tape and a pair of scissors and my middle finger is attached to the ring finger. I turn my partners with my middle+index finger, and all the pressure used to fall on the middle finger so it started to hurt. Not any more :D
    • if your shoes are wet or the floor is just not right for spinning, apply some talcum powder. I always have a box of the stuff when I go to a club. People think I’m doing coke because I often suddenly go to the bathroom and come back all white on my hands.

    This was not a joke :D
