To my own surprise, did I mess up almost everything during my salsa lesson yesterday. I'm sure I looked like a total beginner. But the worst part for me was, that I was able to do complicated figures almost instantly, while I seemed to always trip on the easy stuff. Later I figured out, that we dance salsa different in Europe, and that most of the mistakes I made, came from my german dance lessons.
But Yohan, my dance instructore (he is a second Rico...almost) took it easy, ever after I accidently hit him. Sorry for that.
I made a video of me dancing, on my last day. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzUBapm5LNM
Here some things that I recognized so far: A lot of the woman are far away from being skinny (they are actualy OBs), while most man are slim and fit. Very strange to see in my mind. They even guess a womans age by her body size. But they don't seem to care, and even ware cloth as tide as it will wrape itself around their bodies.
On other thing is, that a lot of the times you ask for something off the menue at a restaurante, and they will let you know that they don't have it. That the person sitting next to you has the wished for food does not seem to be matter of concern. But since food is tide, you will have to pick something from the mostly 3 options and be happy with it. Your main concern should be to not starve, anyways.
