(Boring dancing) ....can you tell how *bored* we are!!
Dancing dancing dancing. Dancing is so much fun! You know, everytime I leave Singapore or India or Australia, I'm always like- I'm gonna miss the food, people, etc soooo much! But whenever I leave the UK I never miss anything. The one thing I know for sure that I'm gonna miss like crazy now is the dancing.
As a kid I always managed to find all those latin ballroom dance movies on HBO and would sit in such awe watching them. My mum and I would dance in the TV room too sometimes and I would day dream for hours about the gorgeous women, how amazingly they danced and swirled around in their gorgeous frocks...Someday my day would come I would tell myself and boy it did!
I remember the trying out for the team for the first time. The Liverpool University Dance Club was prestigious, snooty yet glam. I just wanted the opportunity to get the bling bling dresses, shoes and hair, and then do the cha cha cha on the dancefloor. My palms were sweaty, I could feel my dance partner's nerves too! We did fine :) and we got in, no worries. He even got on the committee! As the only two brown people on the team we officially were spared from the 'white people' rhythm...Although some of them could shake it like no one's business. But we certainly spiced our routines up with a little *bump bump bump* and never really bothered about the iron clad 'rules' of the 'international dance federation'. I quickly lost my fascination for ballroom and was entranced completely by the sultry sexiness of the latin dances. It is in those that we excelled and even won our first award in! 2nd place in the Jive at the Northern chapionships '06-'07.
I haven't been dancing for a while now. I miss it...I know salsa is really popular in India. But has the latin and ballroom caught on? The Samba, the Waltz, the Jive, the Paso Doble, the Quickstep, the Rumba, the Tango...I live, breathe, eat, sleep these...Trust me, if you don't, you'd want to- right now!
Here's a basic cha cha that everyone can enjoy
Here's a brilliant Jive video, no one can shake it like Michael and Beata. Shame they stopped dancing together!!
And here's a whole load of pictures that I love from dancing!! =)
