Salsa

So I went and signed up with meetup.com, a singles website that has events that people can go to to meet other singles, so I joined a group. First I was intimidated because I wasn't sure what event to go to (your suppose to go to at least one per month). Do you go to a really crowded one and just watch whats going on, do you go to a small one, etc... So my choices were Salsa Mondays, a small affair, Drinking Thursdays, I don't drink so I think that's out, or the annual beach BBQ day where everybody goes, well that sounded like a blast but, that is scheduled for the day of my Mom's birthday party so that wont work. So I picked Salsa.

I got there a little early I wasn't sure how long it would take. I went outside where the hostesses son and another guy were playing ping pong, so I watched. More people showed up, everyone was very nice, then we finally got started with the Salsa lesson. There were 10 men and 7 women. We learned the steps and then we partnered up and practiced till we got it right. We did switch partners quite often so it was good to mix it up and get to dance with everyone.

It was a little warm that night and dancing is great exercise, so got tired fast. It was great fun though. I will definitely go again next week, but I'm bringing a large jug of ice water. I'm glad I picked a small event for my first, now I at least know a couple of people for next time.
