Readjusting to the pace of Club Salsa

February 8, 2006

Work kept me away from Club Salsa until around 10:30 PM. Quite a few unexpected people were present. I managed to squeeze in about a half dozen dances. I noticed that I had to slow down considerably from the speed I got used to dancing at Winter Gardens. I also had to work harder on my leading sometimes to stay in time to the music. Had I forgotten how difficult it is to do relatively simple things in time or had I never realized this or perhaps been more fast and loose and forgiving about this? It could be a while before leading another triple turn in the middle of a complex maneuver would be considered fun and exhilarating rather than being a challenge.
