i took an intro to salsa dancing class last night because a friend invited me. it was fun, but the most interesting part (to me) was the fact that since i rarely listen to salsa music, i found the rhythm quite unfamiliar. it was difficult to hear how the counts corresponded with the beats in the music!

i found some youtube videos that explain the beats, since it's so different from rock/pop rhythms

i'll really need to practice…
