Salsa Mama

I'm learning salsa dancing. This is something I've wanted to do since the summer but never got around to taking any classes. But when my friend from Santa Fe offered to take me out if I learned it, I suddenly had an incentive. Now I have been learning for 2 weeks and I have been to 5 classes offered at 3 different places. I finally got to see how hot salsa is live and in person and now I want to be good at it so bad! So I have been taking any class I can find to try to learn it as quickly as possible. Because, you see, I have a deadline now. I fly out to Santa Fe on February 18 so I have until then to get good.

But there is more to this: anyone who knows me knows that I love to dance. I love to get out on any dance floor and shake my booty. Usually, though, I never have anyone to go out dancing with me. But now I have been able to go out dancing 3 nights in a row! I can see how this can get addicting. Also, these last few classes there was definate improvement and I was able to turn and keep in step with the guy. My timing is so good in fact that I know when the guy is turning me at a wrong time.

More importantly, I've danced with so many men. I could see how this could be a great way to pick someone up. Much better than having someone grinding all up on me.

What I finally picked up because of the incentive is quickly becoming a favorite pastime of mine. And since all of my friends moved away, this is a great way for me to get out on a Friday, or Saturday, or even Thursday night.
