Went dancing on Sundays' night. The place is usually cover free, but that night they charged 5$, because they had a performance by the world salsa champions, Oliver & Luda.
Now, I've heard about them before I started traveling, and watched a couple of clips on Youtube (just to know the competition :) ), so I figured the show would be good. It was. Seems like they are champions for a reason.
Nice music, very quick action, nice customs, their trademark dip (which was imported from lambada, but I guess you don't change a winning horse) and once they finished, there were some 15 minutes of talks about wow, how amazing, and come to this congress, and this guy is amazing and back and forth ... bit tedious, but I guess it goes with the territory.
Oh, and by the way, they are small :). For the readers who're not in the scene and/or have no idea (yes, the whole 2 of you), I'll explain. These 2 are huge performancers, but size wise, quite short. It's cute. 2 minimi world champions :).
Anyways, for a change, the music was quite to my taste, including some cuban songs (!), and some other good loved ones. I even discovered that one of the girls can dance cuban, and she's tagged now :).
And, of course, since they are supposed to be the best, I invited Luda to a dance. Now, a bit of background, and about myself. I'm not a bad dancer, but I'm more into social dancing and having fun rather than flashy stuff and concentrating on my own spins and how good I look (I do of course look good :) . I think the best example is the fact that back home, I never danced with one of the supposedly best dancers, since every time I saw her dance, she never smiled, and was rather busy doing her lady style.
Back to the story, I invited Luda for a dance. She's good, can't say she's not, but as far as fun dances go, I can't really say it was one of the ones I most enjoyed. Just makes you realize the big difference between fun and show.
K, that's about it I guess, going to check 3 leads about work I got during the weekend.

well, at least Luda agreed to dance with you - Oliver was the only snob at the congress who wouldn't even dance with me! (and it was probably for the best cuz ppl his size get whipped by my hair :))
keep dancing and smiling, it's way more fun that way :)
