>.< basic, and basic

I'm taking Salsa lessons. Tonight, my second lesson, was so very frustrating. Most of the people in my class have gone over 5-6 times.. add to the fact I'm not very spatially coordinated and you get a case of me stomping over toes and wanting to cry.

We have to rotate so we dance with a different partner every few minutes. Some of the guys are helpful and try to show me what to do. Others TRY to be helpful.. I guess. But they get impatient and start yanking me around and commanding me to look them square in the face instead of watching how other people do the steps.. while they drip with sweat.. and it's ugh.. so frustrating.

I also tend to try and lead and being the girl I'm supposed to follow, be submissive, take smaller steps, look up, stand straight, put some weight into my steps. It's a real test in patience and being submissive. I wanted to kick some people in the balls so bad because they made me feel so bleh.

Especially Mr. Eastern European football player and Mr. Jewish or Eastern European Male Chauvinist Blockhead Pig.

LOL!!! And this is supposed to be a fun hobby!

My friend K is the best to dance with. We came home after and practiced for an hour. We're gonna practice an hour before Friday's lesson so the lesson goes a bit more smooth.

Ew... reminds me of square dancing in high school, having to hold hands with all those boys with sweaty palms. Yuck! Once you get the hang of it I'm sure it will be more fun, and you can pick your own partner. Good luck!
