Unlike Ceroc that is, to a degree at least, standardized. Salsa obviously depends the teaching style of a given teacher. During the <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/chimpy_chompy/tag/salsa" rel="nofollow">salsa lessons I've been going to</a> we've had a fairly quick rotation of partners and a lot of concentration on how to spin or maintain a good frame. We didn't really break down moves either though. Left spin was broken down quite a bit I recall. We also started by learning moves on our own only partnering up later on. Saying that the current Salsa venue I'm trying was recommended to me by a cerocer who tried a lot of different salsa venues. Maybe that one was his favorite because, despite its differences, it fits the closest with the ceroc paradigm we have become accustomed to? There wasn’t any real suggestion that we should ask other people to dance during the class I attended either. In fact someone else mentioned that he thought it was really brave that I just asked the experienced people to dance. It’s interesting seeing the differences in the salsa classes we both went to.
