¡Salsa Dancing!

Tuesday night, I met up with Ashley at Los Arcos - a beautiful outdoor restaurant that has free salsa dancing on Tuesdays. Even professional dancers (mostly my age) come to dance and give free lessons. A TON of Ashley´s friends were there - she practically knew the whole place, so I think Tuesday night alone I met about 25% of Cuernavaca´s population. Ashley introduced me to one of the professionals, who she knew through her university - i can´t remember his name among the millions I learned that night. He started whirling me around, and eventually I got the hang of it. I did pretty darn well for a beginner if I do say so myself! I learned the basic steps and a few turns and fancy shmancy moves. Eventually, we stopped to watch a dance-off between these two guys, who danced with each other, but each also tried to outdo his partner. They were absolutely incredible! They could move their hips even better than Shakira! Eventually, they kissed and made up, each declaring that the other was the better dancer. At that point, the party had died down, and I went back to CCIDD.
