Salsa

Everyone would like to learn dancing but when it comes to people like me (with two left feet) it’s a difficult task.  

Attended the workshop for Salsa (conducted by Justine’s Dance Academy) and I decided to be behind the camera to catch the action.

As mentioned in the previous blog, the workshop was organised by the Art Hop (in association with Pune Mirror)

By the time I reached the location, Rajesh (the guy who was conducting the class) was already on the floor with an appreciable number of ‘students’ eager to learn the Salsa.

The twists and turns were a bit difficult for the new comers but I saw that they took it in their stride.

I picked up some words that are used in Salsa like when you say “Dame” it means you switch over to the next follower.

I heard Rajesh say that in salsa there is a leader and a follower.

The music was fast paced and the rhythm was perfect.

Basically it was fun and that made the whole thing light and easy. I think if you have a look at the video you will understand what I am trying to say.
