Salsa Night

The dance, not the sauce.

Our company is kind enough to sponsor salsa lessons from Salsa Republic to make us well-rounded employees. That's eight sessions of salsa for only $10. I don't usually dance, and I don't usually pass up good bargains either, so I signed up.

My first salsa night wasn't too bad. My colleague told me beforehand that the dance is hot, whatever she means by that, but I don't find it so. As to be expected, the girls outnumbered the guys. Our instructor asked all the boys to stand in a circle while the girls rotate. At the end of the night, I've learned the basic salsa step, the rhumba (side-step), and the open. Not bad for $1.25.

  1. I'm glad you're taking Salsa dance lessons. And A$1.25 is too cheap to pass up. I paid U$125 for five sessions (2-1/2 hours per session). Working out the math, it's U$10 per hour. Wait till you reach the right turn, right cross, left turn, left cross...
