My lovely wife has that ‘hot” Latin blood flowing through her, she just loves to dance.
Truthfully, I am a stiff. I have about 5 great moves that I can magically use on just about any musical genre out there: The raise the roof, the bend your knees and spank the booty………Ok maybe I’m not a good example of a seductive dancer.
The last time I went dancing with her, by the 3rd song I was holding up the wall and she was being spun around by some guy, needless to say that won’t happen again.
She said she wants us to go dancing, she wants to go to Coco Bongos; an authentic Latin night club where the sexy pulsing beat of salsa, easily enjoys a menage-a-trois with the slower rhythmic merengue and the even slower cultural bachata. In this club men wear chacabanas with deeply pleated pants and brilliant shiny shoes, while women give purpose to those haut couture dresses one sees hanging in exquisite boutiques.
The Latin Dance Experience
- Dress the part, sneaker & t-shirts are a no no.
- Get to know the music, get someone to translate the main idea of the song.
- Know the different latin music genre, the dance moves are also different.
- Take salsa and merengue dance lessons by a professional instructor.
In this club I will feel uncomfortable and if I don’t learn to dance, I will look like I have two left feet.
Luckily we have youtube.com just by chance, I searched for latino dance moves and wall-a! instructional videos galore, the simplest of which were the zumba moves.
With these resources I devised a plan, I am like a rookie quarterback on the field for the first time this season. I’ll simply try to learn a few key moves, maybe about 5. I’ll practice in secrecy and on Saturday night I will be the MVHusband baby!
The next thing I did was to play the most popular latin radio station non-stop, because I wanted to learn the latest songs, you know get a feel of my new discipline.
On saturday night I rocked, if the truth be told. I was at home when they played Cuando Me Enamoro by Enrique Iglesias and the great Juan Luis Guerra and I knew the chorus to just about every current Aventura song played.
I was fleet footed too, I was moving like Hermes the Greek god, well maybe not winged feet but close enough.
Needless to say my speechless wife was impressed, she kept looking at me silently on the way back home, I could see her face as we pass streetlight after streetlight. I gather she was thinking; “I wonder what got into him and will he will be as energetic in bed tonight?”
I did not disappoint.
