I just had my first Salsa class.
The coach is a funny small guy in his... 40's I guess. He broke his arm few days ago from slipping off in dancing shoes. His opening words are 'don't wear dancing shoes to the restroom'. When we just wondered how he's gonna teach with one arm, he started swinging his butt along with the music, then we just realized salsa is all about under waist... (fortunately he didn't break his butt...)
The pupils are mostly girls, only 2 guys in this class. I actually expected the pupils would be those hot chicks who normally appear in clubs on saturday night, but surprisingly some hot moms were there in hot figures and you wouldn't tell their age from back. They swung quite well tho. There're also a few chubby girls, who make you wonder if fat can stretch as well as muscles. And the rest are finally those hot chicks, but the surprise is they seem to not quite know what dance is.
So today we learned 4 basic steps. It was pretty fun and for me not too difficult to learn. My partner is a tall strong girl but seems very shy. I wonder what brings her here to learn such passinate dance.
Now I'm exhausted. Gotta go take a shower and go to bed.
