Salsa

Hehe! So excited. Today evening going to my first dance lesson. Taking up Salsa. Going with 2 of my ex-sec classmates. After going to SERVE in the afternoon, went to Tanjong Pagar to meet my frens. Was early so went to have a dessert at this hawker centre. Then met up with them at about 7pm. So walked towards Maxwell House. As the class starting at 8.30pm, went to have a light dinner. Ordered some Dim Sum den was talking or rather gossiping with the girls. Haha! Den it started pouring. Thkfully we had an umbrella and i got the honor to make 2 shifts to shelter the girls to the building. Then we found the place and waited a while. There was a class going on. Guess what dance? Bollywood dance. Very catchy i have to say. After that, the teacher and his partner got us to the dance floor. Taught us the basic steps: Normal step, Side Step, Cumbia (pronunce as Kum Bia. I hope i got the word rite), Normal Step with a right turn. After we 'master' these basic steps, we move to dancing with a partner. Salsa is Male-lead dance which means the male will lead the lady in the dance. The teacher showed us the posture and technique on how to lead the lady. It was a bit hard, since I had to try to get my steps in beat while figuring how to lead the lady and the lady tends to go into auto-pilot mode. So it was really kind of tough. Den we keep changing partner. Den until this girl, she told me to relax. I admit i was feeling a bit stiff but the way she put it was like, "come on! Relax lah! Why so stiff?" Haha. My pride being challenged. Then we managed to dance to a few song which was really cool. I really enjoyed it. I dun know how to put it. I hope i can learn it well and if possible, incorporate it into worship songs and present it as a worship unto God. Isn't tat beautiful. Hehe! Another thing is you got to really know how to manevoure and shake. Haha! I'm looking forward to the next lesson. YeahhHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
