Dancing

Come to realize that I love dancing. Absolutely love it. I have been dancing in some form or the other from when I was a kid. However it was only recently that I joined for lessons. No prizes for guessing what classes. Salsa of course. Salsa exploded onto the dance scene a while back and still seems to be going strong. I suppose it was initially, a more upbeat and informal couples dance, seen as an alternative to ball room dancing. Then it went on to be the "in thing". Everyone was doing it, so you had to try it to.

Whatever be the reasons that lead you to the dance floor, once you are there, believe me it is wonderful. I have yet to meet a single person who has tried salsa and not liked it.

For me it is a step into a world where everything else pales away. I can be in the worst mood ever, but once I start dancing, can't help feeling elated. After holding yourself tense throughout the day, it feels good to allow your body to sway, find rhythm and move gracefully. Makes me feel sexy.

And that's not all, it keeps you mentally sharp too. Constantly remembering the routines, the turns, coordinating with your partner . It's no wonder that I feel charged up and re-vitalized by the end of each session.
