My first weekend in town, I met up with Jacinta, a gal from the bay. Jazz Music and Salsa dancing, a night to (sorta after a bottle) remember! We went to a Salsa club with a live band and a group of young boys that dance with various ladies throughout the night. Jacinta was with her boyfriend, and I was just there... so, after a few drinks and dancing with some strangers, I made my way through most of the 18 yr old dancer boys. Ha. Pero, en serio... good band. Go there... just make sure you got your "young boy" game face on.
The dance classes have been AWESOME!! I am currently staying with an amaaaaaaaaaaaazing gal named Aranza, and her downstairs neighbors are a dancer/musician couple. The gal teaches Danza Africana classes Lunes-Jueves with live music from her hubby. AWESOME classes, awesome music.... definitely a good find! Also... I got in touch with Susana Arenas... an Afro-Cubana who lived in SF for years. I never danced with her, but have lots of friends in the Bay who have. and sheeeeeeeeet, her afro-cuban classes are exactly what I've been missing!! Soooooooo good! Dancing with her group may be a possibility... we'll see. Been trying to get to Son Jarocho classes a few times a week. My friend Annahi has a space where she teaches (bomb ass teacher... really). And, Capoiera Angola. Its weird... in GDL I was looking for whatever dance classes I could... and here there are so many its freaking overwhelming. I LOOOOOVE it.
Other than that... some time in Puebla- Reeeeeally pretty. And, its gets really cold here at night. I seriously lucked out in finding my friend Aranza... most accommodating person ever!
