Casino Rueda with Helen & Rhona - week 14 over all - abbreviated and nothing new

July 28, 2005

Odd session. I originally thought that whole bunch of beginners apparently moved up to the intermediate level while a lot of the regular intermediate people were not in attendance today. Some of the beginners had been there as long as I had before I made the move to intermediates. Then again, I don’t think Rhona and Helen slowed down the class very much for me when I moved up. In any case, it turned out that a private party had been booked starting at 8 PM so that there was only one hour of class. Also, the beginners were still being referred to as beginners. It would seem that many of the people may have received an e-mail about today’s situation, which I did not get.

No new routines were learned today.

Apparently, Vishal is trying to get Helen and Rhona to move the class to Mondays (with a club starting after the Rueda class). This is another apparent power move to overtake Po Na Na as the premiere salsa destination on Mondays. I’m not sure what to make of it, especially considering that I dropped Mondays from my weekly salsa calender for the moment. I also didn’t think that I’d stay with Rueda for more than few months at most. I wonder if Vishal has another salsa teacher lined up or if he has a whole different plan altogether for Thursdays. It would be interesting to see if Rueda indeed moves to Mondays and if this would result in a direct competition with Peter and Cinzia (assuming they are still teaching on Mondays with Patricio).
