So you think u can dance ?- 1st Salsa Practice nightMet up with nic and her group for salsa practice at union square lastnite. Being a first timer and only 2 lesson taught dancing at a salsa pub is rather intimidating. Everyone dancing at the floor are well very experienced dancers .. intemedate and above.
So i hid at the bar area and watch them do the twist and turns.. managed to practice alitte from nic , but seems my coordination on the change of direction need more practice. And not to mention the turns. Leading a dance is not a easy thing.
bump into joe ( my reservist friend in scout platoon) , turns out he is in the same intemediate class as nic . He intro his friend to partner with me for practice. On the way out we bump into our instructor from JJ. They are really passionate about salsa, its 11pm and yet they still wanna dance.
Later me nic and mf decided to go to check out this place "sandbar" at chinatown which also have a salsa night. But it turns out that tuesday is tango night. Ended up learning a little tango from an instructor there. haha.. Dance movement isn't as complex as that of salsa.. but appearance can be deceiving . I had a hard time just trying to lead the dance.
Nic and mf .. on the left
They can really pick up the moves fast
