Dance Dance

I went for Dance For Hope tonight, its a salsa event to create awareness about sex trafficking. And it was really well received. Dapat sambutan hangat. The ballroom at CU was full.


There was a live band there that night called "Quemando", one of the top salsa bands in Denver. Actually Boulder-Denver has a really happening salsa scene. In Boulder itself there are 6 regular salsa events every week. So might as well do what the locals do.

The event. My camera's night shot is bad. haha

We mainly did some partner dancing, or regular salsa as you would call it, and also one round of Rueda de Casino. Rueda is a group salsa dance where you form a circle and dance with a partner for a while and then switch partners every few seconds. While dancing a leader will call out some moves so everyone has to do it together. So by the end of the Rueda you get to dance with everyone. That's the lessons that I've been taking last semester. Really fun especially if its dancing to a fast tune.

Check out this video, gives you an idea of how Rueda is. And btw, Happy Valentine's day!
