Salsa de Lux Party @ Club Fiera

At 7.30 Stephen arrived. I’d had a long soak in my bath and was red as a lobster in my face, but Stephen did a great job toning it down. 2 hours later (yep it takes ages to fix me up!) I had transformed from just an ordinary mum to Hollywood Starlet. I raided the jewellery box and found a really nice necklace and matching earrings from Swarovski that Reinout gave me once. Taxi was waiting outside which took me to the party at a studio outside Haarlem. When I first arrived I didn’t know anyone, but was soon asked to dance which was cool. The first guy I danced with was surprised to hear I was Swedish as he had just danced with a Norwegian girl. So he introduced us and we quickly got talking, me in Swedish and she in Norwegian. Then my former neighbour, Ruth, showed up and we got talking. She introduced me to this really great dancer (Kees I believe his name was!) which I had seen from parties before.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the difference between good dancers and good dancers. There are the ones (and I’m talking about the gentleman here) that are technically very good, but are terrible when it comes to feeling the woman when it comes to her level, mood, style. Then there are the ones, that just levels and immediately gets in tune with you. Those are the best to dance with!They give you confidence and makes you feel great as a dancer.

My dance partner Erik showed up later and we dance quite a few dances too. I also danced with some beginners, as one has to remember that everyone has been a beginner at some point and it’s important to help advance people that are in the start of their “salsa adventure”.

I was home just before 3 am, jumped in the shower and then to bed. I slept so well ☺
