Zero

A shame that Zero Degrees has closed - I went last Sunday and really enjoyed the lesson. There were some nice dancers there who you don't see anywhere else. Last Sunday Laura was there - I think I dance with her about once a year, and each time she tells me what a terrible dancer she is because she's so out of practice, and then proceeds to demonstrate that if you have her natural ability lack of practice doesn't really matter.

I hadn't been to Zero for a while, basically because of the zouk. Nothing against the dance, but it's ideally for people who are young, lithe and Brazilian, and I don't fall into any of those categories. I was hoping that it would revert to a pure salsa night now that zouk has its own night (Wednesdays in 10 Feet Tall).

Hoping that La Tasca's going to be as good tomorrow night as it was a couple of weeks ago.

Another Sunday night closes

Sadly Zero Degrees have ended Andy's Sunday night salsa class. Just as I'd decided that I was going to start going regularly. Let's hope Andy finds another venue soon; or maybe this is an opportunity to start Sunday afternoon salsa somewhere? It works very well in Paris and London, how about trying it in Cardiff?

Saturday in the Capitol centre. The camerawork is a bit flaky (I should have shot some cutaways to cover the changes of camera angle) though I like the low wide angle shot - getting in close captures the excitement of their dancing.
