If you are getting ready to go on vacation, mainly Mexico or the Caribbean etc, invest a bit of time in some lessons with a professional teacher. Learn some survival skills then hit a local hot spot. Most clubs have
a free lesson or very inexpensive lesson before the dancing begins which is a great time to get warmed up with your skills, learn a new thing or two and also meet a few people you'll dance with later.
