Salsa anyone?
Lately I’ve been thinking about what to expect at our upcoming Summer Social. Salsa dancing I must admit is somewhat alien to me. Having grown up in the Wesleyan Church, it goes without saying that most forms of dancing are alien to me. In fact, I had to take lessons just to be able to waltz at my own wedding. So when Teresa Loflin, our VP of membership told me the theme for this year’s social is “Salsa the Night Away with PRSA,” I thought, “this should be interesting.”
So I did a little research on the subject and was intrigued at just how much culture could be woven into one basic form of dance. Did you know there are no less than nine different styles of Salsa? Cuban, Los Angeles, New York, Venezolana, Columbian, Mambo, Peurto Rican, La Rueda and Salsa Disco. I’m not certain which style or variation of styles we’ll be taught on Tuesday evening, but I am sure its going to be fun.
And it’s looking like were going to have a great turnout too, with lots of new members and quests. I’m looking forward to a fun and exciting event. Hope to see you there.
