You begin by joining a beginners' class where a teacher introduces posture, the hold and a few basic steps. From there you build gradually towards full routines at a comfortable pace.
The waltz is a popular first choice because its slow, even timing is easy to feel. Some beginners prefer to start with a livelier Latin dance instead, which works equally well.
Salsa is approachable because its basic step repeats and is quick to grasp. Timing and styling take longer to master, but the fun begins almost straight away.
Yes, complete beginners learn salsa regularly, as classes assume no experience and start from the very first step.
It is, and adult ballet is enjoyed for its benefits to posture and strength. Look for a class designed specifically for adult beginners.
There is no age that is too late. Adults take up ballet at all stages of life, provided the class is aimed at beginners.
