Dance- Monday- 2nd period
"There was going to come a time when we'd end up dancing with a partner, and congratulations, now is that week," Kitty began when class started. They might also notice that the class was a little more full today, with a few simulated dancers hanging around in case they were needed. Was that creepy? Kitty hoped it wasn't creepy but maybe she should have had some more coffee before coming to class today.
"We're going to give the salsa a try this week. Salsa is a dance that started in New York in the 70's with a lot of Latin influence, and it's a little bit disco and a little bit swing dance-y. As always we're just learning the basics today, because it's usually a little rough trying to learn how to dance with a partner, let alone doing anything complicated with a partner.
And then "We've got way more girls than boys in this class, so I'm giving you a choice. You can either pair up with each other, and if you're girl-girl you can decide who leads. Traditionally it's the guy who does that, because it's easier if you know who's following from the start," she said. "Or you can pick from one of our helpful simulated dancing partners if you're more comfortable with that."
