An opportunity to learn the art of dance from International Choreographers prompted me to register for a short 12 hours(or maybe more) of rehearsals heading toward an event this month.
Rehearsal started today, we(my colleagues and I) were kiasu enough to leave the office at 5.30pm and we were like the first few participants to reach the training room in our other office.
Saw a familiar face outside the training room, but can't grasp hold of his name. After a brief introduction of the instructors, then it dawn on me that we have mutual friends. What a coincidence. But then in the world of dance, we are bound to bump into the instructors and/or dancers who move in this circle.
Before we went in to the room, I heard the all familiar Besame and La Vida Es Un Carnaval and loads of cheery songs. How I miss socials!!
The steps are quite easy to grasp. With some merengue thrown in as well.
Can't wait till tomorrow's rehearsal! Long live the art of dance.

Updates of KL's salsa clubs for month of March 2013
Updates of salsa clubs' availability in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia:
@ 24th March 2013
Paradiso will be hosting salsa for the last time on 29th March 2013. After which the club will be closed for renovation for 2 months with high probability of no salsa after.
The (or most of the) community is looking for alternative as of to date.
*********************************************************************************
@ 10th March 2013
Shivz will no longer host salsa on Saturdays(nor any other days) due to its management's decision. For a Saturday salsa stint, please proceed to Modesto, or maybe Qba.
@ 02nd March 2013
The Venue, Pavilion - the management has changed Sunday's salsa to salsa on Thursdays, w.e.f. 07/03/2013.
It means there will not be any venue for Sunday's salsa in Kuala Lumpur starting from March 2013.
Hopefully there will be one soon.
Shivz, Bangsar - 1st Saturday of the month is zouk night. The rest of the Saturdays are for Salsa(unless there is any private function).
Paradiso - still remain as a preferred venue for Friday's salsa. Please visit the link on the right of the screen for the club's address/website(where available).
Should you need any directions to these clubs, do post your comment in this post or write in the chatbox on the right as well.
For chatbox messages, please note that you will need to key in the anti spamming code(no better word for it) as I found that there are too many spammers leaving messages at the chatbox.
Cheerios!
