take the lead.
had a great great great time today.
remember i said i was planning nights out for the gals while they were in town? well turned out we all really loved the evening at copacabana on smith street! the latin dance place was interesting. they'd teach u the basic steps for beginners from 8 - 10 pm, and after that the stage's free for all. so we paired up, and i had to sometimes be the guy for my frens because there werent enough guys to go around ;p the lesson was quite fun, we fooled around quite abit. but it came to an end, and THEN the night really started :) the experience was literally, mind-blowing. was dancing with this guy called mervin, rong's fren. he's been dancing the salsa for 3.5 yrs now and because his lead was so strong, i just fell naturally into step. the spins, turns, twists.. complicating moves that left me clueless as to what i just managed to pull off (and honestly i'm not too good). but it was alright, because i din hav to do any work apart from moving my feet :)
its funny, i think. coupling dances evolving from the ancient times seem to really personify the trend in relationships then. from my point of view, its what gals used to want in order to create a beautiful piece of artwork. a strong steady lead that makes her movements fall into place, yet not too strong lest she spins out of control or lose her footing. one does not know what is coming up next esp when dancing without a routine, but that adds to the thrill, excitement and uncertainty of it all. and trust, definitely a requisite.
as much as we all claim to hate the chauvanistic domineering male who always claims all say, i guess the natural high from dancing today made me realise that deep inside what has worked for all generations still probably applies till today, despite how much control we gals want to exercise over our lives. we still all do want someone strong enough to consume us, captivate us and take us on an exhilarating journey, every once in a while. we still all are enchanted by the dizziness of elation when we fall in love.
hmm, i wonder whether guys get as much of a high as us when they dance the salsa tho. (comments, anyone?) but i know it certaining takes a lot of strength and effort, and a firm grasp :)on a final note, i definitely do wanna learn the salsa!! and ps. yes i do know i havent returned from my rural attachment. i just somehow had this window of time and managed to squeeze a quick post in. so tata again, n this time its for real ;p
