Salsa Dancing Dangers and Solutions
Salsa can be painful. Dancers get can get kicked in the face, elbowed, and stepped on. Hopefully not on purpose, but it happens.
Jewelry can cut you or get caught on things. So ladies, don't wear excessive numbers of rings and be careful with earrings, etc. One person I dance with thought it was fashionable to wear about ten rings and seemed slightly taken aback when people asked to to take them off or simply did not dance with her.
Tricks and flips- If you get farther into salsa you may do some tricks, flips, etc., which need to be done correctly to avoid pain. Do NOT attempt dips and/or tricks unless you know how to do them. You can hurt yourself and your partner.
For normal dancing, you probably won't kill yourself. Just be careful about jewelry and if you're planning on anything intense do some stretching beforehand.
