Lost interest in Salsa (and Latin music) completely
I’ve loved salsa music since I was in my teens, and used to go to salsa bars frequently back in university - though just social dancing no formal lessons. Last year April I tried lessons at two different companies up until around July on and off. Then I didn’t get back into salsa again until January this year, tried a range of mostly Cuban and a few cross body to see which style I like better, and company I enjoyed it for a while but then of course frustration kicked in, wether it was the teaching or the environment. I didn’t particularly enjoy the various socials I went to and felt like a lot of people weren’t there to dance but to find romantic partners.
So by March I lost interest and switched to Bachata (traditional - Dominican). And I found I enjoyed it much more than salsa and the music! But then after June I found it boring and repetitive again - I was going 1-2 times per week.
Went to DR even enjoyed the music there and danced but when I came back to the UK the momentum was gone and I felt bored with Bachata.
Since then I’ve stopped dancing completely. I just want to know if anyone else has experienced the same?
Since that time I’ve been to 2 Brazilian Samba classes (I have tried first time 10 years ago and last year in Brazil). Found I prefer Samba much more to both Salsa and Bachata but haven’t been consistent. Is this just burn out?
