My love for dance is purely as a spectator. I remember when I first moved to Denver I watched "Dancing with the Stars" with my gma every week for two years. We voted using both cell phones, the land line, and our email addresses. Of course our favorite dancer, regardless of his partner's performance, always received the vast majority of our votes! Derek Hough, we know how to pick the winners, he has the most winning partners so far.
So why Albuquerque?!?! Well my fabulous friend J is an incredible dancer. Of the times I have been lucky to be a part of her dancing world, I have been memorized. She is totally in her element, so free and expressive. We are spending a long weekend in Albuquerque to expand J's skill at the Albuquerque Latin Dance Festival. Many of the events will be held in local bars, at Hotel Albuquerque, and the National Hispanic Cultural Center's Plaza Mayor.
Will I be partaking in the wonderful art form of salsa dancing? Yes, but from afar as an onlooker of the incredible talent and ability of the people around me.
Until next time: "Vamos a bailar!"
