Well dont be so harsh with the ladies.

the have all the reason to say no...for whatever reason they desire after all a gentleman should not feel a lady is a snob just because of the denial.

In my experince I think the main reasons they denied any dance request and will never tell the requesting party why, are the following. (they could also apply to men)

-- You dude(a) will break my arms, i just saw what you did with other partner before.

-- you dont want to dance with me. You just need a excuse to get in to the dance floor and show off.

-- I am not interested in being rub, touch and seduced by you. i can do that by myself.

-- gosh dammit kate, at least wipe the sweat of you face.
before asking me.

-- no i dont think you is matter of your dance skill, i just spotted the future father of my children and ... someone just snatched away from me...Go away for the nth time.

-- i want to enjoy the dance, so not cartwheels, cuatriple turns or bend me over like Gumby ok?

-- i dont dance on1 on2 or ballroom style, i just dance, can you deal with it?...

-- I just came over from class, i do not need to take another from you. you last student is still doing your his/her homework.

i could go on and on... with no end...

: Hi
: Yup, I don't care for them, the Salsa snobs. Salsa is a social dance that takes place at night clubs. I came from a ballroom dancing back ground. I was taught girls are not suppose to say no to guys when they are asked to dance. If you girls don't want to dance, just at least give a very resonable excuse instead of shooting him down. We are not borned good leaders or good dancers . It takes time, training, and lots of practice to become one. So... salsa snob, you know who you are. Give the guys a chance or two, have fun and be sociable.
: Guys, give enough time to prepare each lead, set it up in the easiest way you can to lead the girls (basics steps are fine, nothing's wrong with that). Don't worry about the spins and turns so much. Don't try to trick the girls into slick moves. Listen to the music and try to dance on beats. Girls enjoy dancing with guys who can dance on time with music, ... oh and smile once in a while.
