.salsa; yummerz.

A nice dinner with friends is always good.
What made the nite better was "dessert".

Sheena, Sherwynna and I enjoyed "salsa" for dessert. :)
We joined all the other dance-luvers at Shingles's street salsa dancing nite.
To those who doesn't know, every friday nite... there's an open street salsa dancing event at Brisbane square. (Brisbane square rite?; In front of the casino, where the library is.)

Fun bit was when 3 of us rocked up, a guy came up to us and asked us to dance.

He first took Sheena's hand and whipped her straight into some basic salsa action. Im pretty sure she had heaps of fun. He was quite a good dancer.

After that, he took me for a spin. And when I say spin, I meant spin! :) It was soOo much fun... he was a really strong salsa partner. Twirling and spinning me, here and there, making me feel "wooHoo!" each time.

It was my first time salsa-ing, so it took me a song or two to pick up the steps. He made it very easy for me tho... and when he initiated a spin, I'd know exactly where to go and how he wanted me to move.

He called me a "Natural" for a first timer... ^^ and insisted that I must've danced before. haHa... and I think Sheena said he's a South American? He understood the spanish songs that were playing and explained some of the lyrics to me. His name is Carlos.

He asked for my number at the end of the nite, but I decided to get his instead. *dun giv out ur number to strangers!* He says he dances there alot on Friday nites and told me to call him if I ever wanted to dance. :)

All in all,
We had a fun time.
He also intro-ed us to his friend from the Philipines who enjoyed a couple of dances with Sherwynna and Sheena. Wynna concluded that Salsa dancing isn't her flava. LoL I think she's still more of a band-chick. Head banging and stuff. ROFL.

Salsa... So much fun.
The steps are actually really simple, and you really just need to work the steps and shake ur booty, but its tiring as hell! Danced two dances with Carlos and I was lost of breath and my hips were aching already. OOOH... thats why my hips are aching!! *so embarassingly unfit*

oh Wellz...
Dont think I'd specially go back there unless I'm out on another Friday nite,
but at least now I know I really DO like salsa/latin dancing. YAY!
