Today I went to a Salsa trial class with Uma, my beautiful Singaporean Salsa partner in crime. I was very impressed by the professional instructors at the Dance En Motion school. In one hour they managed to walk the class through a warm up, the origin(s) of Salsa, the structure of the music and the basic (La Style) steps. We even had some time over for partner practice. I did not expect La Style Salsa to be so big down here. Even though the Cuban basic step is being taught the locals don't seem to use it for what they refer to as 'street Salsa'. However, I was told that the Afro Cuban Salsa scene is slowly growing stronger. Anyway, I am very much looking forward to Salsa class and the Saturday social dance at the Amara Hotel. Who would have guessed that the Salsa scene in Singapore rivals that of Uppsala?
