Hi, my name is Mike Hickman. Two things converged on me: my appreciation for reading and my desire to learn how to salsa dance. After years of reading stories, books, and dancing salsa, I decided to write books that reflect my interests and inspire children to read at an early age. On the way to writing books for children, I created a guide to help individuals with an interest in or inclination for salsa dancing, guiding them to get their feet moving in the right direction.
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.
