ballroom dance

My friend Ben and I are taking salsa together: 4 private lessons, 45 minutes each. He and I have finally gotten the super basic steps down and are now learning how to do turns. Yey. We also began to do some of the first steps to bachata. It seems like a lot of fun and is a cool way to learn some new moves and rhythm but right now we’re learning just the technical stuff. It would be awesome when we all put it together and dance to some muzaaak!

Well would you believe it?! I came home after work one time and got a phone call from a dance studio offering a free private class and a $100 gift certificate if you turn out to be interested in continuing as part of their promotion celebrating their something anniversary!!! Damn! I took up on the offer and next week, I start! I don’t know if I will go by myself or a partner though! I told maybe I’d bring a partner depending on who of my male friends (all of whom seem to be gay for that matter) are available. I was advised to wear shoes with a slight heel and most people wear dress pants to match the heel. Maybe it might be better to go alone as I was told that it would be super beneficial since you’d dance with the instructor. I’m supposed to let them know if I’m coming alone for sure or not so they can arrange for a male instructor (ooh la la). Hehe. I’m a little intimdated though, but it should be fun. I’d like to find a friend though.
