Here's a free online metronome I've just found, very useful for stepping through salsa dance sequences at various tempos. If you are a beginner I would set it at about 144 beats per minute or less (that's a bit slower than salsa is played in the clubs) and gradually increase it, one step at a time, as you gain confidence.
