Great night of dancing at Union Square!

It was a great night of dancing! Possibly because this weekend is a long weekend, alot of good dancers came in from 10+p.m to just enjoy through dancing. I had alot of good dances, but the best dance I had was so way out of league, I had to stop a while to reflect on what makes that dance great:

1. Simply moving to the music and expressing its accents. A significant part of that dance is only just vaguely following the salsa framework. Although we were dancing to salsa music, we were simply moving in accordance with how the music progresses for a large part of it. Through these, the dance is not simply a sequence of actions that were danced by sequence, but both parties are actually simply expressing what the music brings out in us.

2. Not anticipating what they guy is going to lead me. Through this, alot of the moves he brought me through did not quite follow the salsa framework, but I can tell that the moves are smooth. Also, given how empty the dance floor is before 10p.m, we were able to travel from one end of the dance floor to another, that was so shiok!

I wanna do this again soon!
