Dance With Me(Salsa version)
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Dance With Me (Salsa Version) App is a fun tool to help Salsa Dancers find partners that meet their desired characteristics as far as Gender (Male or Female), Style (On1, On2, or Both), and Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Professional). The DWM App has two Modes: The WIA (Where I'm At - Aquí) mode looks for Partners at your current location within a 50 meter radius. The WIG (Where I'm Going - Allá) mode searches the City or Club location you enter and allows you to see how many DWM members are currently there. You simply create a profile by uploading a picture, your Gender, Style, Level and a short "Salsa Profile" of why you like Salsa or some other fun fact related to dancing. Then you fill out your Salsa Dance Partner Preferences, update your location, and begin your partner search. Within the WIA (Aqui) mode, Partners that are found are listed in the order of distance they are from you. Their first name, Style, and Level are listed. Once a dancer is selected, their Salsa Profile is available and the ability to message him or her. The DWM App is a fun Icebreaker tool that allows you to reduce some of the anxiety of asking a person to dance. In addition to making sure you are compatible from a Salsa Style and Level perspective, you'll also know a little about him or her before you ask for the dance. Please share within the Salsa community. Viva La Salsa
