Latin Dance Class
Today after our normal morning class we had a lesson in Latin dancing. I was super excited! I can't dance unless I'm taught, and we are going to a dance club on Friday. There were some Tico friends of ours dancing with us today, and that was pretty nice, beccause the ladies outnumber the guys by quite a bit. Even though a couple of them needed the dance lessons more than we did, it was nice to struggle through the steps together.
We learned the basics of four different dances: Merengue, Salsa, the Tico Cumbia, and Bachata. The salsa and merengue are a lot of fun, but I could not for the life of me get the cumbia. Apparently the Costa Rica version is different than the traditional dance, so that's what we learned. The bachata is a little too intimate for me to be comfortable with, but I like that music a lot.
We'll have to see how much the practice pays off when we get to the club!
