In the Name of the Rumba, the Mambo, & the Cha Cha Cha
I love to Salsa.
Not the dip your tortilla chip in salsa, I mean dancing Salsa. You can usually walk into my office and I have the Latin beats cranked up on my stereo as well.

In fact, I love all the Latin Dances:
but my favorite is still Salsa. There are others but these are the most popular and the only ones I can think of without having to look up the spelling. So I decided to try this one place out for group lessons that have beginners and intermediate for $5 once a week. Cool....two classes for $5. So I thought I'd give it a shot and try it out.
My first time I went was this past Tuesday.....they took my $5 and marked my hand with a permanent marker so they know I'd paid.
Dammit
That shit is going to take forever to wash off.
It was a little tiny room they have us in and everyone had to sign this book. I put my name down and go stand in the corner acting all James Bondish and stuff with my hands in my pockets.
More and more people started trickling in some as a married couple, some single.
There were heavy people, skinny people, old people, a few young people, people of all color, ugly people, good looking people....wait, okay - there really weren't that many good looking people, in fact I could probably count the good looking people on one hand...sadly reminding me how many ugly people there really are in the world.
There was me (cause I'm not going to say I'm ugly, I'll automatically put myself in the good looking category whether I am or not) and some dude in all black with his hair slicked back, I'll call him Rico Suave.
There was a cute blonde with blue eyes (hereinafter shall be referred to as Blue Eyes). Blue Eyes was there by herself and there was a good looking Asian couple. Everyone else would have been a good candidate for the show The Swan where they take ugly mother fuckers and try and turn them into a super model, usually failing as they still look like God farted in their faces while He was creating them, but these people would have been great candidates for the show.
The Instructor put on some music and told everyone to grab a partner and warm up. I look for Blue Eyes cause she was the best looking but Slick Rico Suave had already been slowly inching close to her so he could move in quickly.
Dammit.
Rico Suave has been here before and knows all the tricks. Now I'm stuck having to dance with someone I'm not to crazy to dance with and as the saying goes, "Life is to short to dance with someone ugly."
But the only other good looking woman in the place was the Married Asian chick. I'm pretty sure I could kick her husband's ass in a dark alley even if he does know some kung fu, and scanning the room looking at everyone I was really considering it when I turn around and standing in front of me was an older lady asking me to dance.
**Sigh**
"Of course!" I said happily as I flash my Clark Gable Smile.
In places like this, you don't turn down a dance. So we started to dance and she asked if I've been there before, I said no this was my first time, and then she complimented me on my dancing as she knew that I could dance a little. When you dance with someone, you can very easily pick up if they know how to dance or not, even if they are not very good, but at least know the steps. Everything was "Nice" with this older lady.
"Oh you dance very nice. You have a very nice smile. Oh that's nice.....that's nice. This is a very nice group. Oh isn't that nice....that's nice."
The Instructor yelled out....okay switch partners! I said thank you for the dance to the Nice lady and she replied, "Yes, thank you that was very nice."
I tried to quickly make my way over to Blue Eyes to ask her to dance with me, but alas, I was to late. Just as I was within ear shot of Blue Eyes some crotchety old, I have more moles on my bald head than squares on a Chinese Checker Board, man swooped in and asked her before I could. Asshole.
The B.O. Mambo
I turn around with yet another look of disgust on my face only to find another woman in front of me asking me to dance with her.
She was a butterhead.
Everything looked good but her head, and I thought, hey...she will probably be more fun to dance with than the Nice Lady as I'd be able to dance close and rub up against her.
A cheap thrill from a cheap girl.
I move in to dance with her and I yell in my head, "OH MY GOD!"
This chick has B.O. --- Body Odor.
Dammit!!!!
I hate that smell, and I sure as shit don't want that smell on me. So I'm dancing with her trying to keep as far away as possible. Which is hard for me, cause when I dance salsa, I like to dance close and dance it like a dirty street dance....only the dance with Ms. B.O. was dirty, but not the type of dirty that a typical guy would like.
The Instructor turns the music off and advises that we are done with our warmups.
"Thank God" I silently say to myself as I quickly move away from Ms. B.O.
Instructor - "Okay everyone, keep your partner, I'm going to teach you a really cool move."
Ms. B.O. and I make eye contact and she gives me her best smile while batting her eyes. As Fashion Sunshine (The Law Firm Clique) would say, I give her an F.S. .....fake smile. It was more of a grit my teeth and hold my breath type of smile.
Everyone gets into a huge circle. So we learn a new move and try it out and The Instructor yells out for the guys to switch move down one partner.
Yes! I'm about two people down from Blue Eyes.
I wasn't paying any attention to my new partner as I was just trying to perfect the new move so I could look like Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing so by the time I got to Blue Eyes she would be so impressed that she would want to do the horizontal hokie pokie with me.
The tiny room is now becoming very hot. The heat was one thing, but there were all these funk ass smells in the room. Smells that I've only read about in Science Fiction books.
The Instructor yells out for the guys to switch partners again.
Now I'm right next to Blue Eyes and I flash her my best Clark Gable smile as I step in close to my new partner when all of a sudden the hairs in my nostrils retract into my sinus' from the foul stinch emanating off of the old lady I'm supposed to get close to. It was a mixture of Body Odor, a smell that you would imagine would be at the site of a decomposing body and a splash of Curry.
To top things off, the blue hair smelly broad was wearing a sleeveless blouse. I get into a dancing position but instead of keeping my right arm high up on her back like I was supposed, I was keeping it low and praying that no sweat would drip on my arm. I kept imagining one droplet of foochi sweat falling on my arm and burning a hole right through my skin and through my bone.
So we start practicing the move and I'm going really slow because I don't want this whore sweating anymore than she already is. The Instructor comes over to us and starts to reach for my arm. I know what is coming next and I'm praying to the almighty merciful God to help me out anyway possible at this very moment, but He failed me as The Instructor grabbed my arm and raised it to the proper location on my partner's back thus shoving my forearm basically into her armpit.
I wanted to cry.
I try to avert all my senses by looking away, but it was really pointless as I threw up in my mouth. I
notice a new guy that was waiting for a dance partner standing next to the Instructor whom I now see as a complete asshole for shoving my arm into the smelly decomposing old skank's armpit. The Instructor now tells us to switch partners and to grab any partner we want to practice the move. He reminds the guys to lead correctly while reminding the ladies to follow correctly.
I turn to Blue Eyes as I finally now have an opportunity to dance with her. Unfortunately, the FNG promptly swoops in and asks Blue Eyes to dance with her.
FNG = Fucking New Guy.
That's right, The Fucking New Guy.
FNG gets to dance with Blue Eyes. Clearly a violation for an FNG. For he hasn't put in any time, ANY TIME, in the foul smelling hot tiny room dancing with old decomposing skanks before getting the opportunity to dance with Blue Eyes.
I wanted to cry again.
It's probably better that I didn't dance with Blue Eyes anyways as I had decomposing curry B.O. smell on me.
I never got a chance to dance with Blue Eyes, but I did learn a new move so overall the night was nice...isn't that nice? Oh that's nice.


really enjoy the dancing so off we went to the Hawaiian Festival!
and should do something.
Or something similar.
Some have it.
Thank you for dropping me on my head as an infant. It has helped build character and make me
"I like your site, but it sure is black...."
I know this cause I've seen the movie "La Bamba" like 31 times.
The old ladies of the church loved Timmy & Terry.
