I went to Salsa tonight, but instead of doing 'normal' salsa, we were doing Rueda this evening. For the uninitiated, this involved a sort of salsa-in-the-round, where you all dance in a circle and are constantly changing partner. The instructor shouts out 'calls', such as "Abajo!" or "Peluquería!", which tells you which move to do next and the whole thing flows like a big and beautiful wheel.
Or at least, that's the theory. Of course, if you've never done it before - as I hadn't - the instructions are meaningless and I was horribly reminded of this causing me to spend most of the class in hysterics. Quite ruined the effect.
