Sangria and Salsa

Being a born and bred Aussie girl I was never exposed to any South American culture let alone Salsa!

I had often watched it on TV or saw it in movies and saw the chemistry between the dancers. It was a very appealing form of dance and expression.

I met a latin guy on the train on my way home from work one day. He was there daily, the same time, the same carriage, everyday without fail! Even if I had gotten off work early that day I would still wait for the same train so I could see him. It wasn't until we started speaking one day that I realised he was only new to Australia and quite new to English. We spent our train rides teaching each other our native language and it wasn't long before we decided we would go on a date.

Our first date he decided he would show me a piece of his culture. We went to a latin club with a friend of his. Everyone there, of all ages, were passionate about Salsa. I attempted it and even though I felt like I failed miserably as I have no coordination AT ALL, I was encouraged to keep trying. I ended up letting the pros continue dancing and sat back in awe of their skills even though they were plastered on Sangria! I couldn't even stand up after having a glass of that concoction!

Now I've enabled the help of Bnino Team with their Course 2 Domina La Salsa, I have not only improved my ability but I also have greater confidence! I now look forward to going to latin clubs, even though I haven't yet mastered the skills I know I will have a great night surrounded by friendly people with contagious energy!
Also... I've decided to stay away from the Sangria! That is one part of South American culture I will leave to the South Americans!

Thanks Bnino Team for your assistance and I hope you enjoy my first experience with Salsa. I look forward to your update of classes and events.
