My mother has been talking loads about Salsa<\/a> lately. She’s been taking some classes and was wondering how things are with Salsa here in Cyprus. I myself am not a big fan of dancing. I did about three years of ball dancing back in elementary school. It was long ago, but I don’t miss it one bit.<\/p>\n

Anyway, my mom persuaded me to visit one of the Salsa clubs in Limassol, just to see what’s going on there. I asked a few people and was surprised to find out that a couple of my friends are frequently visiting Los Amigos club. So, we agreed to go together on Friday night.<\/p>\n

I was more than impressed. <\/p>\n

The place was excellent – with all the dancing being outdoors, but on the inside of the building. It’s one of those old places in the downtown, where they have a huge hole in the roof in the middle of the room, with trees growing through. Everything is decorated in style but without too much of a show off. All makes a nice impression.<\/p>\n

Non-stop Latin music was good, but the quality of sound setup was mediocre at best. Maybe it was just on this day, I don’t know.<\/p>\n

But sound didn’t matter anymore when I saw people dancing. Los Amigos turned out to be one of those places, where people who know what they are doing<\/strong> come to practice. I literally couldn’t take my eyes off the stage for two hours. It’s been a long time since I saw something this beautiful.<\/p>\n

Something tells me that I’ll be coming back. I don’t want to dance, or even learn how to dance, but I want to see more of that. Believe it or not, during those two hours that I spent there, I barely talked with anyone and had only one pint of beer. That’s how fullfilling the exprience was – I needed nor wanted nothing else.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are interested in Salsa or other Latin dancing, there is a lot of information at Latin Dance Cyprus website<\/a> – places, events, people, etc.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
