dance in a salsa competition

ok, it’s been a 2 week break

i’ve decided i need to make a longer program for this to work, will negotiate a new plan with the school for 6 months

starting to feel the beat a little more

last lesson was more positive and am actually dancing in the streets on my ipod, it’s pretty funny stuff

was at a club on the weekend where they played salsa fusion (not pure salsa) so the standard of dancing was lower and i actually noticed i was much better than most of the dancers there

but i have to make my way back to the proper salsa club this week to make sure i keep improving

need to do a little practice before

had a positive lesson tonight with beata – now know a few different steps including: basic turns, 3 turn combo, around the world, peak-a-boo, back breaks

also learned how it’s best to get into one of those steps after coming about – will see how it goes at the club on thurs

will head down, will update later on how it went. brought jeans and a t-shirt as opposed to my suit so i look less like an outsider lol

had a 5am flight so had to give it a pass

had my sixth private lesson tonight, focused alot on turns and on my posture during dancing, was really helpful, i have a new teacher and will stick with her

i’m going to go back to the salsa club tomorrow in little brazil for a second shot, i’m still way below the standard, but i’ve got a few good combinations now that i can get through a dance, the more practice the better.

Lesson at 9pm tonight, it’s actually with a male instructor which is interesting, should be good feedback in leading techniques etc..

need to schedule a lesson for monday or wednesday

after first experience at latin club i realize i need more practice, but i have a better idea of what i should be going through with my teacher.

have booked a new set of 5 lessons and will continue when back from spain

teacher called sick, lesson rescheduled to next monday.

after that lesson, will try a latin club with a few friends to see what goes on
