For Christmas Alex gave me Salsa lessons for both of us at a dance studio in Dupont called Joy of Motion. I took some salsa in college through the experimental college and then as a part of a social dance class I took for my minor and really enjoyed it, so I was very excited to revisit my salsa skills.
It was a six week course and we were supposed to have one teacher for all six weeks but we ended up having two teachers, as our original one was out sick a couple of the weeks. Which ended up being kind of nice since our replacement teacher was one of the best dance instructors I have ever had.
We usually had an even number of men and women which made the class run really smoothly. We switched partners though out the class and it was really fun to get to know some other people and laugh with them at our dancing skills.
I am not sure if Alex and I will continue our salsa education in the future, but there was a ballet class before our class and naturally my heart ached to start dancing again. (I can only go a few months without ballet) so I am looking into taking a class once a week at the same studio. We are planning to go out dancing with some of our classmates who want to try out our skills outside the studio. Nothing like a little public embarrassment!
And while we are Dancing with the Stars quality just yet I had a great time!!
