Tuesday September 30, 2008

Three weeks ago, I finally dug out my dancing shoes from the dust bunny covered corner of my dark closet. The urge to dance was stronger than ever and there was no fighting it. The Emily's and I now share this one night a week together; Where all that matters is that we find our high heels (and drag each other to drive to Long Beach).

I was introduced to a Salsa class one year ago thanks to an ex-boyfriend. Dancing has always been a part of me and I gave it up for quite some time. Never did I imagine picking up Salsa dance as I was always trained in ballet, oh the ever disciplined dancer I once was! Now we're talking about having fun. Salsa is the best release besides playing music. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, everyone is there to dance and there are no lack of partners. People from all ages, ethinicities, and social backgrounds participate in these classes. It's a chance for everyone to unite in an art form that leaves you with the most natural high. The music's energy makes you shake your hips, smile, and find the sexy, happy soul we often let slip away.
