Post Salsa Recital

Hola! I know that I wrote a post not too long ago but I wanted to update you and tell you how my little salsa recital went! It went great by the way! There were only like 1 or 2 errors but we recovered quickly and ended on a good note with a lot of applause! I mean I feel like you can't help but applause for a basic salsa class's dance. We did good for learning salsa for the first time (at least for the german and americans in the class) in the matter of a few short months! There is actually a video of our dance on my facebook so go check it out! I'm quite proud of myself because I have never taken dance classes before so this was quite fun AND it's a huge part of Latin culture. You have to be culturized when you live in another country. It's like a common sense requirement type of thing. Yesterday, not only did my salsa class perform but all of the dance classes here performed! There was bellydancing, contemporary, hip hop, tango, bachata, salsa, and so many more! The whole evening of classes presenting their final dance lasted from like 7 pm to 11 pm! SO MANY DANCES! I have a new respect for dancing because it can be hard and difficult! Especially when the dance is in partners because you not only have to know your part but you have to trust that your partner knows theirs too and trust that they won't drop you! I wish I could have taken videos of all the dances! It was so cool! If I find more videos of the dances, I'll share them on facebook so you can see them. There are some truly talented dancers here, that's for sure. 

We leave for Islas Mujeres on Thursday! I'm excited and already printed out my little itinerary! Since we are leaving on Thursday that means that today is my first and last day of classes for the week! Yippee! Such a hard life here, I know. Only having classes 2 days a week. And after Spring break, the number of days of classes I have left will be in the single digits! :)

That's all for now. Hasta Luego!
