What was your best Salsa moment?

Hi Folks,

We all have our moments in the Salsa world. Some good, some bad, but what was your best?

Just to start the ball rolling: I was dancing in a congress last year, I asked a lady to dance, who in turn asked me to dance with someone new to salsa ( as happens ). I said sure. I was told she was 'a little nervous'. The lady in question was in her 60s/70s *, once on the floor however I realised she wasnt nervous, she was terrified as all hell and fragile as a china doll to boot.

Ah. That could be a problem. Can I rise to the occasion? Yep! Led her to the edge (safer edge of the floor ) and really owned the space we were in combined with an ultra light + gentle lead. Not only did I ensure she had a fantastic time, but I made darn sure she was safe and sound at the end of it. My best salsa moment. So far.

Anywho, I'm curious: whats yours?

I was at a congress last year and one of my friends dared me to dress up as an older lady. I did a really good job. So good in fact that this really nice young man thought I was in my 60s/70s and took me out to dance....I think you know the rest of the story
