My first salsa lesson was outside, On the veranda of the house of the brother of Juan Carlos. Next door. In the guest house el abuelo is making a 1,5 m by 3 m masquette of the birth of Jesus for Navidad in all the colors and glitters of the world. If it´s done I´ll show you te picture!
The salsa lesson was a big experience. It was kind of difficult to give myself completely, but that went better then I first thought. Juan Carlos kept saying; "suave Binkie", which means you can let me do the work, you just have to follow and don´t try to take over my slasa moves Binkie!
In the evening I went out with another student from Switserland who had a meeting with Ignasio, the leader of a salsa band. Ignasio is one of the members of "the buena social vista club" who happend to be a citizen of Antigua and one of the four old guys who isn´t dead yet.
He was something, Wow! His music swinged so much. And I sat next to his beautiful daughter from nineteen, who was a professional salsa dancer and talked Spanish all evening. She was waiting for a guy to ask her to dance, but instead one of the maestros of the school who I met that afternoon, asked me.
I told him I only had one lesson and he better could ask her, but he wouldn´t listen.
We danced and he said; "suave binkie". So I tried and after one dance he delivered me to my chair and the rest of the evening, none of the guys asked me for another dance. But I had great fun anyway. And next week I go again after probably 4 classes of salsa. And show them who can dance, Huh!
