Extra Credit: International Dance Extravaganza

I've never been much into dancing but decided the International Dance Extravaganza might prove to be fun -- and it did! There was a bigger crowd there than I expected. We started by learning the steps to the samba, which is a brazilian dance. We all were facing a wall with a mirror and watching the instructor as she explained the dance. Once we all got the gist of it, we moved on to an Indian dance. This one was my favorite! I reminded me of the dance at the end of Slumdog Millionare, however, we danced to a different song than in the movie. I loved the beat and movements. Next, they showed us a video of a japanese dance. This one was quite unique. It was too long of a dance to learn the whole thing, so they showed us a part that repeats over and over. The fourth and final dance they taught us was the salsa. I really like this one too! I actually have salsa danced before because my cousin is really into salsa dancing and taught me the moves. So, I was glad to get a refresher on the basic salsa moves and learn some new ones. After they taught us those four dances, they repeated the favorites of the group, which were the indian dance and the salsa.

This was a very unique experience for me! I'm glad I went because I really love trying new things. If they did something like this again, I would not hesitate to go!
