Salon Salsa and Joe....

I was ready for the party! Yes I was feeling the bliss before I got to the party. Had treated myself to a day of specialness! I succeeded and went to the wedding... feeling good and had a wonderful time. Danced with Joe all night and oh my God, I can dance basic steps of salsa but this dude had me spinning... yes he was like the partners of Dancing with the Stars. A good partner and they make you look real good. He was doing something that they call Salon Salsa in which the woman passes from one dance partner to another and she ends up with original partner prior to end of the song. So they take you by the waste/hip and twist you so you spin (you really have to surrender to your partner to be able to twirl) to the next partner, but we were just doing it amongst us. So when I thought I was going to land on the lap of the disc jockey this dancing partner would grab my hip and bring me back into the rithym without missing a beat! I felt like Ginger Rogers! You all know that dancing is all in the hips! That was the first thing I taught my Zumba students, "do not move anything else in your body, except your legs and hips" but the hip movement has to be controlled by the legs, not the hips controlling the legs. hips cannot be all over the place, it has to be very controlled. I would sometimes hold on to their hips and tell them to do the motion. They would be mezmorized as to how they could dance without moving hips on their own and that the hips would actually flow with the legs...

Flow baby flow is the motto of the day! Sun is starting to shift West and I can feel it in my bedroom sliding door! Today the time has been a bit off and i am desperately trying not to look at it. Woke up very late and it seems the day is almost over and 3 pm, have not had breakfast. But still in bliss... not even hungry...

Dance with me today! Flow with me today! Live with me today! Blessed with Bliss today! Thank you world, universe, my people, my not so good people because you teach me, my loved ones, my tribe, I LOVE YOU!

PEACE OUT!
