salsa

i am back from my first salsa lesson with doo and Ailay!

and yes, i am not joking/kidding/lying/bluffing.

it was cool, and i had to be light, controlled yet relaxed, and balanced at the same time.

i don't know how to explain balance, but when that's the word that came to my mind when the instructor danced. he looked like he could control his muscles and balance very well. haha!

well, it was a lovely experience cos it's a case of "Men First", as opposed to the somewhat usual thought of "Ladies First". Apparently, the men lead, they initiate, and the ladies follow. it's fun to close your eyes and be led around. and interestingly enough, it feels like it's easier to dance with a partner than to dance solo.

also, i got lost whenever the instructor called out for a change of steps. whoops :X some practice needed there! whatever it is, salsa's fab and though i look like a wooden block, it's amazing exercise. haha. if only i could do this more often.
