Salsa, Salsa, Salsa

So, I've been taking this salsa class for almost a year now. It's a blast! JLo signed up for it along with her friend Julie, but in the four weeks of class we have only attended together once. They need to come to class soon! (Hint, Hint)

The group in attendance this go round is different than it's been in the past. It's an older group. I DON'T have anything against an older group, except maybe a little bit with this group. This is my 3rd class with the current instructor. She is great - very professional, patient, and helpful, but for the last 3 weeks that I have been in attendance, they have complained to her about the stupidest things. I have a "tendency" to roll my eyes when I am annoyed and tonight I think they got stuck inside my brain. They have complained that her music is too quiet. They have complained that her music is too loud. They have complained that she doesn't say the steps soon enough. They have complained that she says the steps too early. They have also complained about the way she calls the steps. They want her to change the names of them so they can understand them better...seriously, the names of the steps. My eyes are rolling as I write this. I need my "young" friends to join me again so I have someone to commiserate with. These ladies are killing me.

So You Think You Can Dance pt. 2


I have been chomping at the bit waiting for SYTYCD to finish the auditions and choose the final 20 dancers. The auditions haven't been nearly as bad as American Idol. I am glad that it wasn't most important to show the worst possible dancers, EVER, to make for "good" TV. Yes, they had their moments when some complete idiot got on stage and performed some awful number, but it was much less than Idol when most of the audition shows are about the bad singers. However, SYTYCD audition shows were geared towards the tear jerkers. Holy cow, I think I cried during every audition show. There was some young dancer who had a sob story in just about every audition episode. Many of them danced for a loved one who had passed. Some had overcome injury to dance again. Some where just so excited to be there that they cried, and I cried with them. OK, so now auditions are over and we get to see some dancing!



Tonight they picked their top 20 and as of today. Twitch the breaker and Chelsea the salsao dancer are my early favorites. Who are your favorites.

Who do you like?
