salsa on2

so my friend n. and i just took our first salsa lessons earlier this evening... it was interesting, to say the least. we learned the basic foot movements today, but it was still something to get used to. i have been involved with indian-style dancing since i was a kid, and it is, for the most part, based on a four-beat count. this salsa is based on the 2nd and 5th beats, so it's going to take some time to adjust. but, learning a dance in which pairs are the given is another step toward moving away from my asexual existence. say it with me now, hallelujah!
