Salsa Verde
June 12, 2007It seemed like a good idea. Go learn to salsa dance.
How easy could it be?
Well, it could be real hard and real embarrassing, especially on D.C.'s salsa dance scene.
My first excursion was an eye-opening experience.
I was to hoof it with co-worker "W" and a few of her guy friends who were salsa types.
It was the opening night for La Tabaq, a tapas-leaning restaurant on U Street.
But for a small fee, I could gain entrance with W as part of the DC Salsa Meetup Group. See http://salsa.meetup.com/162/
Over dinner at another restaurant with a more reasonably-priced menu, her friend Mike explained that he was well-schooled in salsa and had danced professionally.
Over on the dance floor, I got a good idea of just what that meant.
Mike morphed from a nice-looking, nice-seeming guy to salsa superman right before my eyes.
I watched him and W twist, turn, do some fancy footwork and generally show off successfully.
Ay caramba!
My turn couldn't come slow enough.
