Also the best piece of advice that came from you "Anand" was....."Always complete your basic steps (i.e. 1,2,3...5,6,7..) before moving on"......"and don't rush/hasten"......this actually helped me alot in gaining a little more confidence and also lead the lady better.......moreover I have now stopped doing the "oral-counting" and have started doing the mental counting while trying to match it with the music......this helps me to understand the salsa music better and sway to the beats and rhythm.....also I would suggest others too to listen to the Salsa Audio CD provided to us by Quickstep Salsa as often as possible to identify the hidden clave and thumba rhythms......coz I do listen to it most of the times.....!!!

Bye for now....all of you on the forum have a wonderful weekend.....and yes.....keep practicing....!!!!
