About

Hi, my name is Mike Hickman and I’ve been salsa dancing for a really long time. After many years on the dancefloor, I’ve decided to create Salsa ABCs. It’s a great source for salsa dancing books to help aspiring dancers like you to get comfortable with the basic steps.

Salsa at Your Own Pace

Learning how to salsa dance can be as easy as reading a simple book. The only things keeping you from learning are lack of time, convenience, and easy dance instructions. That’s why my books are designed to help you learn basic salsa moves and gain confidence on the dancefloor at your own pace and at your own time.

Read, Move, Dance

Our dance lessons will tackle the complete ABC's of salsa dancing in a way that’s perfectly simple and easy to digest. All you have to do is read the instructions, move your feet along, and have a whole lot of fun!
