I've been looking closely at the dancefloors and thinking hard about this topic for the past week, and I can truly say that the salsa scene is (in my opinion) the coolest, most welcoming group in Boston.

Is it perfect, no. Is it a great group of people, yup.

: Hi,

: I notice that in some of the salsa nights
: in Boston, the same crowd goes again and again.
: This isn't a bad thing at all, but
: I notice a degree of snobbery, especially
: amongst the women, where they don't like
: to dance with newer dancers and leaders
: who may not be as good as salsa teachers,
: who like to show off on the dance floor.

: This can be intimidating to leaders who are
: trying to learn and improve their skills.

: Chill out! Don't be such snobs, relax, dance
: with new people, and have fun.
: Remember, when you first started dancing salsa,
: you probably sucked too.
