Salsa Y El Bailar Sucio


Literally translates into "Salsa and Dirty Dancing". *whistles* I attended Salsa night at Drake with a couple of friends and oh my goodness, was it fun! I learnt how to dance salsa and merengue; it was not easy! It takes a lot of practice and a natural talent of getting the beat to the music. You can't afford to dance out of beat when you Latin dance or else you'll end up looking like some waggling donkey on the dance floor. It was organized by La Fuerza Latina and Grace was my dance partner for the night. I had sore legs from knee downwards after that but it was fun watching some people dance. They were good! Especially the hispanics and blacks.

Another friend who came with us ended up partnering two older guys and when I say older...I mean 30++. One of them taught her some moves and dirty danced with her for a bit. I was sitting at the tables on the side and for a moment, I was speechless watching them. Lol! I was horrified but then again, nothing came out of it so it was a good thing. I was keeping a close eye on them. All of us had a good laugh talking about it afterwards. I actually still want to dance...but not latin dance, just good ol' club dancing.
