Moments of Amusment in Salsa 101

Dancing is fun! Getting into the music is great, and getting all the steps right for the first time is such a rush. And when you've got a teacher like this fellow...

East Coast Swing:
"Alright, in this move, the girls kick between the guys' legs. Girls, be. Careful. Keep the kicks -low-. Then next, the guys kick between the girls' legs. Noooo worries."

Merengue:
"Hey, I see some of you guys doing one of those.. drive-by twirls. Just to get it over, eh? Now, you know you can tell a lot about a person by the way he dances, so, you know.. You maayyyyy want to slow down. Just something to keep in mind..."

Salsa:
"Now, what are two things that girls always like to do? That's right, dips and twirls. So if you guys can do those, you're made men. Can't do either, you're going home alone. But why do twirls exist in Salsa, guys? Anyone? ... To check the girl out, of course!"
