Salsa trio

Than's salsa trio at the Wharf last night was good fun. It looked as if it was going to be a bit of a disaster as there were only three women to start off with, but eventually enough joined in to make up the numbers. Neat and stylish moves that are actually very simple but need precision to do with two women.

It also helps if the women have similar styles. It doesn't really matter if they both have light following styles or both have heavy following styles; but one pair I had required very different strengths of lead. It worked OK but took a bit more thought: I had visions of mixing them up and failing to budge one while projecting the other halfway across the room!

There were some very promising improvers there, but unfortunately there weren't a lot of people later on. Let's hope it starts picking up soon: it's got good teaching, a good sound system and good music - and the free dancing is now literally free.
