The thing that is great about salsa is you can be a fat Indian guy from London and, as long as you can dance, you will have women lined up to dance with you. I have some friends that have gone to places like Rostov and literally had women waiting in line to dance with them and they were average dancers. The women in Japan will also line up.
By the way, in this video, this guy, SuperMario, is dancing LA style on 1, and he is a world famous salsa teacher. He is known (or marketed) as the million moves man. So in that respect, he is not just any chubby guy.

SuperMario’s story shows that some male dancers can develop a talent for salsa dancing fairly quickly - though I am sure that he had spent thousands of hours developing his various techniques and personal dance style. You must admit that from the video, he is pretty smooth though, for a chubby guy? He must be at least 250 pounds.
From my knowledge of these kinds of teacher dancers, I really doubt that they are banging many of the hot chicks that they dance with - b/c they tend to get connected with a partner or a series of partners if they work circles a little better.
The extent to which these kinds of instructor dancers are banging various partners will come down to personal style because if the male dancer becomes well known in salsa circle, there will be some tension in which some women will be wanting to latch on to him for exclusivity - however, there still may be some abilities to rotate the girls in a sort of harem.
Some of the guys get to be known as players, and certainly even before he was convicted of rape, Alex Da Silva was known in the salsa scene as a player style who had a large number of "dance partners." Da Silva's case of being convicted may be a little exceptional b/c he seems to have exercised several indiscretions or maybe he just got unlucky in running the numbers and having it catch up to him and his fame. He had quite a few enemies in the salsa scene, even before he was charged. It seems, though that many guys in the salsa scene can still get away with rotating dance partners and having a player style. The girls talk so, for the salsa insider, it will not be easy to juggle in a player style.
For the person coming into salsa dance and not necessarily investing a lot into dance, and using salsa dance for game, that would NOT NECESSARILY take several years b/c the guy can use salsa dance for game while he is learning and taking lessons and accordingly be rotating girls into his learning circle and he does not need to be at a very high dance level (or popularity in the salsa scene) in order to game at the salsa clubs and to create those kinds of circles - and since the guy is learning dance, he has a legit reason to be at the various salsa clubs and to have openers to mingle with the girls.... and in my experience, there will always be some of the girls at any of the dance scenes that will be fairly receptive to some kind of hooking up... you just have to have a talent in spotting those girls.. and opening them through regular game... even though it may not always result in a SNL. Actually it seems more likely that a non-insider would be able to get more SNLs when you are less embedded in the salsa scene - and would not necessarily let the dance get in the way of game.
