Salsa

So I've tried something new, and am loving it! I have wanted to learn to salsa for a long time. I'm now at the time in my life when I can go out for the night and not worry if I'll have a hungry baby to feed :") Last week I went to a salsa dance 101 class. I was a little nervous, but one of my best friends was there to coach me through that part. As soon as we started to learn a few basic steps, I knew I was hooked. After the lesson, I stayed for the salsa dancing night, and had a blast! It's a really great way to exercise as well, I was sweating by the time I left. A bit embarrassed at times when instructors would ask me to dance, and here I was at the BEGINNER stage and felt like an idiot. It's funny though, when you have someone who knows how to lead, you do better. Between Kjersti(who's amazing, and on performance team at the studio,) and the other instructors, I learned a ton in the few hours I was there. I can't wait to go back this weekend. I've already asked Shane if I can get some private lessons to speed up the learning process. I told him he could combine my birthday, and mom's day gift. I'm so eager to get this down, now I just have to work on getting Shane there--ya right!
