Salsa: not just for chips anymore

Last night a few coworkers and I went into DC for some Salsa dancing. (My very supportive husband is locked down in Jacksonville and so was unable to attend).
It was a lot of fun! The first hour was all instruction and in order to ensure humiliation, you have to dance with everyone. It was very similar to grade school dancing where you rotate around a circle of people and just continue to switch partners everytime the instructor says so. One of my favorite things about that place is the mix of ages, races and nationalities.
A few things I learned:
1.) Do not wear flip flops...Or jeans.
2.) Don't look down.
3.) There are still clubs where dancing with someone does not insinuate that you want to go home with them. Everybody was just looking for someome to practice with.
Awesome night! I'm DRAGGIN' today though!
