The Best Compliment...

I started salsa dancing in 2005, my first year in Mexico; I didn't do it much, though, because my hips just didn't seem to move correctly. I danced a lot more last year in Mexico, and finally started to "agarrar el ritmo latino." But still...I always felt like my turns were off.

Today, however, the instructor of my Super Rumba class asked me where I was from. When I told him I was from the US, he seemed surprised and said, "¡pero pareces a una latina cuando bailas!," or "but you seem like a latina when you dance!"

Finally!!! I think he was probably just being nice, but really, it was the best compliment I've received in a looooong time :)
