La Cuba Ritmo

Yesterday was such a great day.......

I spent the afternoon practising with my fella as he keeps throwing new moves at me,we were only going to do an hours practising but ended up having such fun it went on for most of the afternoon.. I was knackered before i went out.. lol

I came to a point with my dancing where i was feeling really frustrated with myself, I let my head and hang ups hold me back, Yesterday helped me so much with that side..even down to those little things , its really helped..

Since we started dancing and having the salsa lessons i felt like id stepped into something good, but i dont feel like that today, i feel like im part of something really very special not just good..

Last night we all went down to 'The Talk' to see one of the hottest cuban bands perform live 'La Cuba Ritmo' My god the night was brilliant, I came out of that place so happy it was untrue, even wiggling up the road to the car...........
We were part of the dancecuban family (thats what we are! ) friends of ours that make you feel like your'e part of one big family.............It really is a special feeling, everyone in the group wants to be there, we are all as excited about whats to come as each other and we all get on so well, its always such a giggle.. but its all down to 2 people, these people have added so much to our lives its untrue............Sharon and Richard........
I cant say enough how much these guys have given us and mean to me, Sharons bringing back my confidence week by week that i thought id lost, Richards turned my fella not just into my dream guy, as he didnt believe he could dance a step before,but also helps me, and last night we danced together where everything just slotted into place perfectly.. I wish to god i could have captured that moment on film...

I enjoyed that dance so much, the feelings still with me today..It was my first thought of the day and brought something special into my house this morning....lol

Its not just about the steps is it? You guys have taught us that through your passion, its being able to feel totally uninhibited on that floor and enjoying every beat, by just doing what feels natural its bringing out the best in each other.. in the most special way..

The band was amazing and the best live act ive ever seen, the music felt like it was going right through me..

My fella loves to dance with everyone from our group which is brilliant as watching them all smile seeing everyone so happy is such a great feeling, we all take turns to dance and wish there was more men sometimes but its not about how many dances you have, its about enjoying the ones you get ! (well thats my philosophy anyway) he was frustrated he couldnt get round to dancing with everyone, but for anyone he missed out on, im sure they'll be the first on that list Thursday..lol.. I had the most amazing 'Son' Dance with Max, it felt like id drunk twice the vodka i had when i walked off that floor,he was so smooth it really was magical..

I did take my camera, but this morning am giggling as theres not much on it, but thats down to enjoying my night (and yes quite a few vodkas)the night had only just started but once that band came on that was it,nobody worried about the camera.. but thats gotta be good right ..I know kevins got loads of photos, as i can remember him chasing us about on the dance floor with his camera.. so pass them over then Kevin!! lol

Today i cant be motivated to work ive done enough this week and am taking weekends off from now on, so im chilling with the kids as afterall it is Sunday, ive made giant papier machier hearts for their science homework which has devastated my kitchen (but great fun to do) so i intend painting them this afternoon and making a bit more before i start on that housework..what the hell i'll cope with the mess today and it will get done eventually, i want this weekend to stay exactly as its been..One of the best and certainly one for my armchair ...

Richard, Sharon, Penny, Jayne, Zenda, David, Roses and all you fun people out there, you've given me so much to look forward to..

So this weekend the smiles down to you lot...

Thank you xxxxxxxxxxxx

Dance Cuban Xmas Party

What a night we all had ! ive got a mojito hangover............lol

Last night was the http://www.dancecuban.net/ Christmas party.... Oh what a night !

The mojitos were flowing, everyone was dancing the night away in true cuban style with the best bunch of people you could ask for...

Sharon and Richard thanks to all their hard work really gave us all a chistmas party to remember...

We did everything from the conga.... not the type you typically do at weddings, this is far more sexier and so much fun to do everyone in that place was up and shaking the dancefloor, it really was such a brilliant night..

I havent danced for a couple of weeks so was a little stiff to start but with Richard dancing son and Ralph grabbing me for my first cuban salsa dances it soon made me realise what ive been missing.. My fella was on fire last night and completely wore me out, its a good job i had extra iron this week i will say, how many spins was he throwing me into............lol

Ive woke up for work today feeling like ive been on holiday, my energy levels are up my smile is fixed to permanent today and thanks to everyone at dance cuban im going to be smiling all the way through xmas..

I also want to thank Sharon and Richard for my beautiful flowers and my fellas gifts, You guys are so thoughtful and kind. you havent just taught us dancing, youve also made us part of a community that is very special to us and everyone in it..

Salsa really has changed everything, ive gone from someone who felt like she was falling to bits last week, to a girl who wants to take on the world today, and its all thanks to you both..

Im sure im not alone here when i send you all my love and wish you both a wonderful, magical xmas..

Last night was made magical because of you guys and a great bunch of people we now call our friends..............thanks guys for such a memorable night..

Cuban salsa is the best thing weve done in 2008 so heres to many more salsa parties in 2009 and sore feet (cuban style of course).. hehe

Happy christmas ..........rompe! rompe! rompe!.................

A taste of Cuba

We had such a brilliant night last night, it was Cuban Salsa at the Staithe Sutton night, with Sharon, Richard and our friends.... what a night we all had.. it was amazing

Last night we were going to be shown rueda (the wheel) its always looked fun to watch but honestly when you are part of it, it was such brilliant fun..you cant help but smile and enjoy yourself..

Richard was calling out the moves, we learnt enough just on our first night, to all get together and have one hell of a night.. It was so beautifully warm, the music was so good, we had our own taste of cuba and transformed stalham into a place where we all wanted to be..

I managed not to mess up my footwork for a change, the whole night just felt so right

I came home so happy last night it was untrue.....

The guy calls out the moves and in a circle everyone dances together picking up the ladies on the way round...

The passion these guys are sending out through dancing is infectious.. so if you havent tried cuban salsa, you have your very own cuban nights here on the Norfolk broads to come and try..

We have sunshine, that distinctive cuban beat flowing into the night air, a bar, the best group of people you could hope to meet and dance with.......and Sharon and Richard !!

Who said paradise isnt easy to find ..........

I'll take Stalham any day......

come on everyone check out the website and see how much fun we all had http://www.dancecuban.co.uk/index.html

Sharon & Richard Dancing cuban salsa

Ive finally managed to get Sharon and Richard on video this week, so anyone who's interested in learning salsa can see how good these guys are...

Ive just had the most wonderful day, Ive been working at the stables all day, Ive done my work (so not skiving) i did that when most of you were still dreaming..lol but at 8 am i was in my element and up the stables....

I learnt so much today, Ive spent the day mucking out, grooming and roaming the fields, my feet and back ache, but my heads very happy and peaceful, all thanks to a few guys that don't speak but can show their appreciation in a way I appreciate......

I know horse ridng can get expensive, so i decided that id swap that for good old fashioned hard work, Kevin's said i did the work of 3 people today, so Ive been asked to go back in a few days to help out again, Price my flirty horse bats his huge eyelids every time i go past him now (he wants Polo's) and today managed to embarrass me when i groomed him, by getting rather excited....lol

To most people its nuts working 7 hours for a chance to ride, but not to me... i don't mind working hard if its for a good cause........

Last night was salsa (again..lol) which was another great night...... Ive finally managed to get Sharon and Richard on video so you can see for yourself how good these guys are, they really are something very special..

Im still struggling with my cuban feet as its tricky learning both styles at the same time, i constantly stand on people and struggle at times recognising the leads, but with Richards and sharons help im hoping ill get there, at least im having fun while im learning it too...


Regaetton was just as good as it always is, the girls all giggle when they do it, you simply cant help it, rompe is infectious....lol and last night Mark and Adrian braved us girls and joined in too, which was great to see ..... good on you fellas !

Its salsa again tonight with Cheryl and Francesca so I'm looking forward to sitting in a nice long bath and trading my riding boots for my salsa shoes and a vodka, its always a good night with these guys, I'm so lucky in having such great people around me....

Some things in life are special, and people make my time here special .......

I'm hitting the weekend smiling inside out you guys...

so i hope you all have a great weekend too...

Salsa Nights

Its another mad week, but what a good one...

Monday was riding, we were out hacking in the country so i came home beaming and talked non stop to my fella who did a good job at smiling in all the right places, i bet he doesn't actually hear a word, i am pretty bad ill admit, i just get excited and like to share it..lol

Kevins jumping this week at the Norfolk show, i really want to go to watch...

Tuesday was salsa night, cross body this time, were actually learning both styles now, god knows how my fellas doing it, but he is, the class all got up this week and did the sexy bomba, so a round of applause was deserved to adrian and all the guys that got up and really had a go... good on you guys....

Don't ask me about Wednesday, my dad was really ill (its his heart) so the day was spent in and out of the surgery having various tests done, by the time i got to work got done, that was it, the day was over, i went home fell asleep and slept 15 hours straight through (which is a first for me) all this exercise is great but ive decided wednesdays im leaving free to sleep..i don't seem to get any of that during the week anymore....lol

Last night was Cuban salsa with Sharon and Richard ! its been my favourite day of the week ,so far, what a class! it was brilliant fun, i honestly cant believe how well my fellas doing, hes definitely on a mission, and finally been cubanized, he came home saying how much he loves Cuban style last night !! hehe
I was hoping the bug would bite, it got me after one class, but so many of the class came back, its really good..these guys deserve our support they are such nice people and wonderful teachers.. Sharons always smiling and glows inside out..

We had another go at reggaeton, the girls were all 'body trembling' away, its such fun to do and everyone was smiling away, what better way to get fit than dancing......

I got to dance bachata last night with the lord ... hes getting really good at salsa now (even putting in the wiggles), so Ive put him a video in above to see if i can scare him a little.....(next weeks aim?) hehe

My fella had dances with Sharon and Cheryl and i must say, i couldn't believe the difference in just a week, he was beaming when he came off that floor, and well deserved too, they did brilliantly..

I didn't do so well with poor Richard, i messed up big time, (sorry Richard) im fine when i don't think, but with a brain like i have, I'm lethal when i try to use it..lol so i'll stick to vodka and not think in future !! ol

When everyone went home it just left 8 of us, so we all lined up, men one side, women the other and had such a blast, we had to strut our stuff and torment the guys, with them shaking trouser legs at us, returning the favour... it was brilliant..


Ive got a little message for Adrian this morning ............. Yes......you've cracked it !! the line up helped him find what he was looking for.. because by the end of the night he was dancing pure salsa...... well done you...

It was a brilliant night, I'm buzzing this morning (and couldn't sleep as i had rompe in my head all night again...lol

Tonight Ive got to wear a dress !! we are out with our friends for a meal ( i do really like chips and little wooden sticks !) so Ive got to get done early today and try and work out which fork to use ! I'm like a duck out of water anywhere posh, so it should be a real giggle tonight..... im looking forward to it...lol

Its been a great week, there's a lot to fit in everyday now, but boy am i feeling good inside.

Its all thanks to a great group of people I called my friends........

Thank you guys xxx
