When I was living for a brief time in Kansas City, my gal pals and I
would get all dressed up, find a salsa club and dance until the wee
hours of the mornings. I loved that men would come up and ask us to
dance without any agenda other than to enjoy dancing with a pretty girl.
They weren't looking to score our digits or take us home. They just
wanted to cha-cha around the dance floor with another human being,
laughing and enjoying being alive.
But let's be honest. I had NO idea what I was doing. I was on dance team and have "moved" in musicals since I was 7, so I was pretty good at faking it, but I had no idea if I was supposed to merengue, salsa, cha-cha or two step or even the differences between them. I just let the gentlemen lead me around which was kind of nice, I have to admit. So it would be great to hear a song and know exactly where I'm supposed to step and when. You know, be a fully present and participating partner (metaphor for life, mayhaps?).
I'm not looking to meet anyone in this class or become some sort of Latina sex goddess even though that would be nice (Sofia Vergara). This vision is just about good, clean, hip and booty shaking fun!
I have my first salsa class tonight!!!!!
