Best night in a long time.
That's a pretty big call, because I like my nights, and I've had a lot of them.
I invited a bunch of random people salsa dancing last night. People not in my direct circle of friends. There were about 15 that showed up from an email or sms that was sent around. I have to admit it was an absolute ball. The abilities ranged from those who had never danced a step in their life to having grown up latino.
It was great to watch those who didn't know learn, and then have a ball putting their own interpretation on the moves. A lot of laughs I must say.
One guy there certainly surprised me - he said he hadn't danced in years and can't remember the moves, but he was tossing me around the dancefloor in a way I haven't moved in months. It was great! The last song though he took me down for a reversed dead-man's dip and on flinging me up the guy beside us dipped his partner - head-on collision if you know what I mean. The funny thing is I ended up concussed from it. Hmm...maybe that's not funny!
Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves though. At the end of the night, one of the 'never-danced-a-step-befores' pulled me aside and thanked me for the evening saying how good it was to have so much fun with people in such a safe environment, and then, getting a little emotional choked "This is how the world should be".
I laughed thinking he was putting it on, but he didn't laugh back.
Way to kill a moment.
So now, I'm going to take my dizzy-pretty-lights-keep-flashing head and run off for my monthly massage :)
Such a hard life.
