Look who’s dancing too

I had my salsa performance in front of a live audience last Saturday . Surely I was excited as it is my first dance performance ever , atleast that I know of . I have danced before but all before 5^th standard and I have no memory of it all . I even recently found a old snap of mine in UKG dancing at some school function . I looked cute with the famous and no-more chubby cheeks which everyone liked pinching till I left school . Apart from that I have danced a few times at discs . I don’t consider myself a dancer and more importantly was never interested in it . But here I am very proud of my dancing abilities after jiving and performing salsa . The dance was a hit and there was a huge applause and “once more” shouts . “Once more” – for a dance which had all amateurs including me who started learning only 2 weeks before . If you think 2 weeks is enough , you are bloody wrong . In all the two weeks we just achieved a quarter perfection of the instructor’s . oh…and how did I forget this . The very first day of the classes , when we were practising the first step the girl dancing with me said “You don’t look like you have started learning today . You are pretty good ” . I was on cloud nine .

And as always the best thing about being part of anything is the people you meet . It was a motley bunch and here is a sample of the people it had.

My partner , a phd in economics and a professor in the same at some engineering college .

Her sister , a ground staff in Air India who cribbed many times about the baggages lost and the pasting she got from the seniors .

Two school girls who have given their 10^th exams and want to chill off before they see their results .

Brother of one them who has passed 12^th with a bl**dy 96 percent but may consider a career in dancing from what I can see…hehe

Two heroes….yeah heroes acting in the remake of a hit telugu movie as college students .

The queen ,atleast she thought of herself like that , a second year medical student with whom I could have danced a little more if not for her mother who also joined the classes with her and kept an eye on her always.

A disgruntled IT employee who after working in the industry for 9 years took 2 months leave on loss of play and joined the class .

And the not so disgruntled five other IT employees which included Me .

And here they are...
