Salsa is a blast Angela! .. and if you're a guy, even more fun, there's always less men that women, I think for a lot of men, the perception is that partnered dance (salsa, tango etc), is effeminate. Their loss, it just results in a better men to women ratio, for me; hehe.
Best advice I can give to guys, is to be less physical and more subtle, less hard, more soft and sensual, but still firm (you don't want to push her about, neither do you want her pushing you about). I find I need to fit my dance style to the skill level of the woman, if she's a beginner, or a bit rough, I need to be more rigid and firm with her; the more suble (soft) she is, the more suble I can be.
Defo recommend salsa to anyone; it's a skill and it takes time to learn and get good, just think of it as an investment, and you'll never be short of good dance partners if you're skilled yourself. In contrast, regular club-scene dancing, doesn't seem to have the same scope to learn and improve, and develop your skill. I guess it's horses for courses, and different things appeal to different people.
