Without threats or coercion, Naoko willingly went salsa dancing last night. And she really, really had a fabulous time! (The three rum and cokes helped, but we genuinely had a good time). So much so that Naoko and I decided we would make this a weekly thing and teach ourselves some salsa!
運動神経無し、持久力無し、リズム感無し、という三重苦を抱えたわたくしですが、なんと。サルサダンスを始めました。自分が一番びっくり~。パナマのサルサダンス事情は、コロンビア程のビックシーンはありませぬが、せっかく中米に住んでいるのだから、サルサダンスでも齧ってみようかと。
The reason for this adventure was that Naoko's Spanish class had a little field trip and so we all went dancing together. We were glad because none of Naoko's classmates had any idea how to salsa. And the place we went to had lessons which was sort of nice, but there was only one teacher to about fifty beginners students. We were in the back row so it felt like it was the blind leading the blind. Regardless, we had a grand ol' time. Plus we got some exclusive one-on-one salsa tutoring during the "free dance" session.
このクラス、体育館の壁を半分外したみたいな(?)ふきっさらしのディスコホールみたいなところに音楽ガンガンかけて、初心者からアドバンスまでのクラスが同時進行していました。総数200人くらいはいたのでは?エアコンなんてありませんから、踊りだして10分もすれば汗びっしょり!1回3時間のクラスで、4ドル。ビール1ドル。ハードドリンク1ドル50セント。激安。
