A Sexy Salsa Summer

Another one of the many goals I look to attain, is now added to my weekly schedule for this summer - learning to salsa! As a man who likes to explore other cultures, I look to dig deeper into the Spanish life and what better to do so than getting sensual with salsa dancing. Take a night off, relieve any stress, find your inner self, embrace it and release it. Baila conmigo.

Participating in an open free salsa dance lessons is a great way to get yourself to start learning how to salsa. The instructors there teaches you the basics and progresses at a good pace for everyone to follow. A new pattern is incorporated with the basics every few minutes and everything you've learned is repeated throughout. By the end you'll be introduced to quite a bit but, you'll get the hang of it the more you do it of course. Everyone there is trying to learn and are doing what you are doing, so you'll feel welcomed and be at ease following the instructors. Be optimistic and and say 'Yeah, let's do this shit!'

Learning with a group of people is an enjoyable time. Ranging from young adults to the old, they're very friendly and sociable individuals looking to have a fantastic evening and improve themselves. For most of the lesson, you'll be paired up with the opposite sex and the women will rotate every couple minutes. A good opportunity to meet and dance with many people. Make the best out of your time, you want to have fun so greet with a pleasant attitude, make each other feel comfortable, take her hands and just twirl her!

Sometimes a random woman runs off the dance floor and you got no one rotating to you but that's alright, you just go to the bar, have some gin and tonic and take a break. This shit is tiring. Here is a time to meet and really talk with people taking a break also. Most of the women there are easy going and like to chat. Get to know one another, hear them talk about themselves and just chill. As long as you're not like Ralph Wiggum, then you'll be fine.






Ask them to dance after and you'll be back doing the fancy footwork and twirling, don't forget to twirl them. 


When the lesson is over that is where the dance floor is open for freestyle with the hottest latin songs playing, not the typical stuff you hear at clubs. This is where the people who are really good start swarming in, that and more people with skimpier clothing. 

It doesn't take much time before the place is flooded and the dance floor is completely packed. Right on time where I leave and do something else. I've already enjoyed my time with the lesson and the evening. Something I look forward for more!
