I agree completely on both points. Being really into salsa dancing is definitely not enough to make someone a salsero. In fact recently I've started to see people who are very into salsa dancing, and much prefer to dance salsa to reggaeton (rather than salsa music). A perfect illustration of the difference between someone who is into salsa dancing and a salsero.
Guy danced salsa with me tonight to a reggaeton - in Bolivia :)

Actually, I'm certain he did so deliberately - I'm guessing he wanted to dance with me and had noticed I was loving the salsas but groaning and leaving the floor when reggaeton came on. So it was rather sweet.

I'd say I danced with almost all salseros in La Paz tonight!

Btw Yuca thanks for the recommendations - I went to Glam Club tonight and will come back to La Paz Tues so I can go to Mongos, the other place you posted details of.
