You may not know this, but back in January, I started taking
salsa-dancing lessons! They’re free.99 twice a week at a nearby bar. There’s
always I good mix of people from all around the world, with very few Westerners, so that's a good change to seeing mostly Americans and Europeans at work and other places.
I’ve made some great friends from going, and have even improved on my dancing skills
(Ashley, I’ve finally got my turns down!)
As a gift to
myself, I went to the Abu Dhabi Salsa Festival the weekend after my birthday. I
took 6 classes, including Spinning, Afro-Cuban Salsa (my favorite), Salsa Basic, Samba,
Bachata Intermediate, and Hip-Hop Salsa. Later, a friend of mine and I went to
the party, where we danced the night away. One thing I did realize was that I
prefer to way people do Latin dance in the States, or at least in DC. It’s not
about the steps per-se, but more about feeling the music and having fun. In any
event, it was a great time and I look forward to showing off my new moves the
next time I’m out dancing.
