The first few salsa classes were exciting. The music was energetic, the room felt alive, and everyone seemed equally nervous in a strangely comforting way. No one knew each other, yet everyone was trying to figure out the same thing at the same time, how to move naturally without overthinking every step. For Maya, that feeling was enough in the beginning. She joined group salsa classes because it seemed like the easiest way to start. No pressure. No spotlight. Just another beginner in a room full of beginners. And for a while, it worked. Every week, she showed up, stood in roughly the same corner of the room, and repeated the same basic steps with everyone else. Some days felt smooth. Other days felt frustrating. But overall, it felt like progress. At least in the beginning.
