A Little Memory Goes A Long Way ....

First times are always memorable. I remembered my first time like it was yesterday. The feeling, the ambience, the person you were with ... Do you remember yours?

Err .. I was referring to your first experience at the Salsa Club ... gee, what do you think I was talking about.

Anyway, as I was mentioning ... those moments, although memorable ... may not be pleasurable altogether. After a couple of months on the training floor, you think you're ready to go out there. To the real world, to the dance floor where the professionals and experts prowl. You remember your basics well, memorized your CBL's and under-arm turns ... some hopefully ... a few dips and off you go. I still remembered, my first club was at Eastin Hotel ... which I totally can't remember the name. Besides Jeamie Lee n Tamie (obviously), Sook Yee was the first few who actually danced with me and ... you would really wanna know what happen then. That .... you will need to ask me personally .. he he.

Everyone has to start somewhere, even for our very own SalsaJay talent Mr. Fai. I remembered when he first joined SalsaJay, he was just a little boy .... about 5 inches long .... nahhh .. just kidding. Well, he did start early .. sometimes I wished I'd started earlier. Anyway ... this is his side of the story.....

From Mr. Fai

You all did good... and u know it was worth it!!

I felt even worse the first time i went out to a salsa club....

I manage to reject a few ladies including a mexican (pretty hot i must say) lady coz i was so concerned/nervous to dance....

I had the longest front&back basic dance in my life and obviously i also had the mind numbing, bone shaking, spine chilling first time dance with my instructor (Jeamie of course) and the confidence breaking experiance whenever i bump or when my partner bumped into another couple...

The only reason i was on the dance floor was because jeamie was too strong and she manage to drag me to the floor (Damn, u a strong lady!) And after that horrid shocking endevour.... i told myself.... One day.... one day i will be on that dance floor, sweeping her (jeamie lah coz she was my intructor mah) off her feet like those other pro dancers....

Well, the day is still not quite there yet but im still dancing and im still reaching for it...

Trust me, its worth it. = )

Good job all!!
