Salsa!

This week I started my Taller... beginner's Salsa, and it is so much fun! I've always thought it would be fun to learn salsa or swing or something (and actually I had informal swing lessons this week, too, which was really fun!) So when I saw that classes were offered, I was glad to sign up. We've had 2 classes, and it's pretty great. The instructor is hilarious to listen to - he barks out all of these orders in such a serious manner. However, I have realized pretty quickly that, as a girl, if your partner can't lead... there's not a whole lot you can do, things just aren't going to be pretty. So, it's good that the guys are constantly rotating around the room, because you don't get stuck with a bad partner for the entire hour.
Anyway, I'm really excited to learn more, because it's been coming pretty naturally. Now I just have to find a guy who can dance salsa to go out dancing with! Although, it's kind of sad.. the antros don't actually start playing Mexican music or anything you could dance salsa to until about 1am. Up until then, you might as well be in a club in the states. However, it makes me really happy when they finally do. I'm trying to learn the lyrics to the songs that everyone sings along to. It makes me feel more Mexican!
P.S. I ate my first street tacos the other night and they were amazing : ) I think that was my favorite meal since I've gotten here.
