salsa night! whee!

[swingchickie]

wow, salsa night was fun. seriously, i didn't just shake my bon-bon, i shook bon-bons that i didn't even know were in the BOX! this morning my butt, calves and back are so stiff! jeremym, boutell and i managed to get in part of the beginner lesson (i didn't even know there was going to be one... sweet!), and then we were turned loose on the dance floor... me the irish redhead in a sea of 5'4" mexicans with little pencil mustaches and 2 cups of gel in their hair. hee!

i had a ball, i danced with a bunch of people and didn't completely suck (well, at least, there were people there who sucked more than me). there was no mistaking i was white, because i just couldn't get my hips to move like everyone else's... but that'll come with a bit of practice. i'm totally going there on friday nights from now on, it was great exercise and awesome music and really nice people (except for the jerk who turned me down at the end of the night because he was tired, and then 30 seconds later asked someone else to dance... grrr).

now i just have to get some better dance shoes and practice that hip thing...

That rocked. The rhythm is still in my head. I was all-but-dancing all the way back to South Philly. Which is tricky, on a bicycle. I'll be checking it out again starting three Fridays from now. Thursday swing, Friday salsa... cross-training, baby!
