I acted promptly and joined. Oh, it were very few people, pardon, women, and to learn how to dance with a partner we danced with the teacher in turns. I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised if this was the first salsa class in the Netherlands. Being classical trained I had a lot of trouble to learn but once I got it I couldn&#8217;t be stopped anymore.\u00a0 I loved it&#8230; but, somehow I always have partners who can&#8217;t dance, so that&#8217;s the way it is.<br \/>\nTill last week. I saw a zumba lesson on the news (yes, the news&#8230;can&#8217;t help it). Immediately after the item I start googling and found a gym with zumba lessons. Went there, and loved it. And, you know, those salsa steps are still in my feet. Isn&#8217;t that remarkable?<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time partner is in Taiwan (not really a salsa part of the world) doing conferential things and making nice <a title=\"Mart's photos on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/martgrisel\" target=\"_blank\">pictures <\/a>to show me (and you) the Taiwan world and he <a title=\"Mart on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MartGrisel\" target=\"_blank\">twitters<\/a>. Modern technology makes it easy to stay in touch. All the same I miss him and that&#8217;s why I like my new gym membership even more. Besides zumba I did pilates and&#8230; ow, ouch, yow bodyshape. That meant aching muscles for two days. It&#8217;s better now. Thank you. Tomorrow another class!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Way back, may be it was 1985, someone from the Caribbean started salsa lessons in Amsterdam. I acted promptly and joined.
