Shall we dance?

Dance is an art…
Dance is a way of expressing urself…

Dance is fun…

I am not a dancer in the true sense.But i love dancing,with or without music.You have various types of dances,indian and western.There is kuchipudi,bharatanatyam and then u have the western dances like salsa,waltz….and then of course u have free style dancing(which is how ppl like me who dont know to dance, danceTongue out)

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

Salsa:”Salsa is a partner dance form that corresponds to salsa music, however it is sometimes done solo too. The word is the same as the Spanish word salsa meaning sauce, or in this case flavour or style.Salsa is danced on music with a recurring eight-beat pattern, i.e. two bars of four beats. Salsa patterns typically use three steps during each four beats, one beat being skipped. However, this skipped beat is often marked by a tap, a kick, a flick, etc. Typically the music involves complicated percussion rhythms and is fast with around 180 beats per minute.”

Coming to the reason why i got really interested in salsa was the trip to kushalnagar.We were all resting in the cottage and like all brilliant ideas,which flash when u least expect,this idea flashed.Ramya who is a very good dancer knew a few basic steps of salsa and so she offered to teach us.So all of us with great enthu started off….it was great fun…[Although all of us were doing it like we were doing some drill!!!!Ramya was the only one there who was doing it gracefully Smile]

There were these two friends of mine who were playing snooker and so we thought how could we leave them out of this and proceeded to teach them salsa right there in the snooker room!!!Ha HA HA…..
But thanks to that trip,we all got hooked onto salsa.Then,there was this free salsa class in Casa del Sol which we all attended to be taught by professionals.It was one of my most memorable evenings.

There’s something really wonderful about dance,isn’t it?
So shall we dance?
