9 things I learnt in my 1 year with Baile -de- Salon

Advanced salsera and now our trainee instructor Maneka completes a year at Baile -de- Salon

Here's her guest post on 9 things she has learnt at Baile -de- Salon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not as good a dancer as I thought

But I am getting there super soon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I for the life of me cannot find my core 

Much to the chagrin of my instructor Ajaz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very patient...surprise, surprise!

Teaching Salsa is fun and I love my students

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Learning musicality is difficult

I wish I get that pat down, so Ajaz can stop rolling his eyes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dancing has brought new meaning to my life

I cannot believe I stopped dancing for so many years…what with the corporate life sucking you in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep an open mind and good things happen to you

Yeah…dancing taught me that!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dancing is an awesome way to get fit

I haven’t felt this good in a lot of years

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are never too old to make new friends

Some awesome people I have met in the last year have helped me find my voice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And most importantly, I have never been happier

I think it has something to do with happy hormones (read endorphins, exercising and all that jazz).

Thank you Baile-de-Salon for bringing the passion back in my life!
