10 Things I learnt about Dancing in Puerto Rico

(note: this list was compiled on an airplane, on zero sleep.)

1. You can never have too much groove.
2. You CAN have too much costume bling (I didn't think it was possible, but it is)
3. All male dancers should have diamantes stuck in their hair. Get with it Australia, you can sparkle like a princess and still be macho.
4. When lost for styling ideas, shake your arms in the air like a mad person being attacked by bees. It works. Promise.
5. When walking on and off stage, be sure to wiggle your ass. And I mean WIGGLE YOUR ASS. Now do it with 'tude.
6. Shaving random patterns into your hair makes you a better dancer. Especially if you shave the word "salsero".
7. Don't get on stage unless you're going to bring it, and bring it hard.
8. Holding up one or two fingers is the universal language of salsa dancers (on1 or on2?)
9. The music is everything.
10. Everybody can be who they want to be on the dancefloor.

(oh did I mention I also tend to wax slightly philisophical when on zero sleep? I'm sorry. I can't contain it. But more fool you- you're reading this tripe!!)
