Little Havana - 23 July 2005
So it was the usual awesome Salsa party at Little Havana. I was a bit concerned, ‘cos at one point, I was looking on the dance floor, and less than 50% of the couples were on time. I turned to a few people around me, and when I turned back, some were coming onto time, some kept drifting back off and on time. Sheesh, and at that point in time, there were at least 40% Intermediates on the floor…. time to formulate a new game plan.
I had some really good dances. Diyana came, and the Merengue was fun, and boy this girl can groove. Wendy’s Bachata getting a lot more smooth and with feeling. Ai Ling’s Bachata was a little smoother. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot to be desired with a lot of ladies who don’t really dance a dance, but just do a bunch of steps, execute a bunch of moves, and just try to follow. After a while, it looks boring, and lacks a certain…. *sabor*…. flavour, character, personality, a certain je ne sais par… well… *sabor*
Anwar came and I think he tried to dance some. It was good to see some old Beginners who we saw for awhile and just dropped out after B1 or part of B2.
Anyway, besides the usual suspects, it was really good to see Jimmy and Ike and a whole load of beginner guys. Jason looks like he’s back. It’s great to see girls like Marion start to really groove and dance.
By 10:30-11:00pm, the floor was packed and it was almost (not quite, but almost) hard to get a place to dance, so I danced on the mezzanine near the DJ/back area, furthest from the bar. By about 12:15-12:30pm, a lot of people start leaving. Maybe it was ‘cos there were just some crazy fast music played. Hmmmm, got to have the usual talk/feedback session with DJ Joe. But the hardcore’s stayed until 1:15am plus, plus!
All in all, a super-fun night of dancing! Sigh, it’s Sunday tomorrow and I think I have to get up early to clean my room…. *snooore*
