Last week I talked Erika Ryn into attending a samba class with DonnaMation, because we were getting jazzed at the idea of this Challenge and wanted a head start (and because it's Donna, I mean, com'on!)
Erika texted me from the studio, "Fridays Centerspace 7:45pm Salsa in the Round, $7!" I thought, hey that's just cheap enough for me to try! I've been salsa dancing for years but haven't brushed up in a while, and my partner has been wanting to take some lessons with me.
We went last night. It was like nothing I'd ever done before. I was a beginner at salsa?
Casino salsa, salsa in the round, is different from what you normally see in clubs around here. It's a fusion of Cuban salsa...and square dance.
Last night was the first time I've had someone ask me if it was my first time salsa dancing since I was in middle school...
and I effin' loved it!!
Here's an example of what it looks like when done well...
