Salsa with the Guatemalans!

So I just got back from a free salsa class with Liz, Emily, and Shelly. And can I just say that it was SO much fun!!!! Even if I looked really "white" and goofy doing it, I don't care! There were 22 people (10 boys and 12 girls) in this tiny room, sweating like crazy, but we didn't care. We learned the basic salsa step, the side step, the back step, and the basic salsa turn. I totally got all of the steps....i was just lacking the Guatemalan skin! I was trying to move my hips like the lady instructor, but my hips just don't move that way. Half of the guys in the class were instructors and/or dancers at the dance school b/c there weren't enough visiting boys for every girl to have a male partner...and the lady instructor actually had to dance the boy part since we were one boy short. I thought that dancing with the experienced dancers would be a bit intimidating, but it wasn't at all...it was so much fun! One of the dancers reminded me of a choreographer I had in high school whose name is Ricardo- his outfit, his smile, and his mannerisms were just Ricardo's- it was too funny! Liz, Emily, Shelly, and I wish that we would have discovered the class last Monday because they have FREE salsa classes at 5PM every Monday and Tuesday! But we are going to try to find some other free salsa classes for tomorrow or Thursday so we can get in as much salsa as possible before we go back to NLCH!
