I'm taking Salsa lessons, not just any Salsa lessons, but private lessons. It is truly a dream come true. I love every moment of it. My body is finally giving in and my extra left foot is slowly becoming a right one again. I can actually do all of the beginner moves without missing a bit and slowly moving along through the intermediate and club moves (check out "Tics and Wiggles", I can do it, yes I can!) (50ml_martini, the link is specifically for you).

There is only one little problem... as with most other dances, the man is the leader and the woman is the follower. The man guides the woman by giving her "claves" (read little tugs, pushes, or checks) that let her know when to turn, dip, etc. I'm learning to follow, I have no choice (although I'm constantly telling my teacher that he is not teaching me right, if I can't lead in dance, I can at least lead in the teaching process). In my opinion, following is much harder then leading.
