wheel-ing

Some go to movies. Others go climbing. Many go to bars. But MY idea of a good time…




…is meeting a group of total strangers for a weekend crash course in rueda de casino style salsa. (Click above to view the clip.)

So we’re a little sloppy; but I’ve only danced rueda (“the wheel”) one time before (while living in Ecuador) and this was a fast and crash course covering basic to advanced moves in only a few hours.

Our ratio of laughs to fumbles was perfectly par; and that’s all that matters...with anything in life really.

The looks pretty damn good to me. It even looks like fun — which is odd, since it is dancing.
