April 19th, 2008Dancing In Colombia
I have been to Colombia quite a few times and recently thought it might be interesting to share with you what a nightout dancing salsa in Colombia is like.

Hopefully at this point you have been actually capable of getting you
white man to learn some moves. The question that remains then is How
do you get him now to do those moves in public?
“So do you dance?” comes the inevitable question from everyone we meet after they find out about my Colombian girlfriend introduces her tall pail Scottish boyfriend. My response is now we rehearsed. I roll up my sleeves and turn over my palms to expose deathly pale white skin and say “sorry, white men can’t dance”, and then wait for the inevitable laugh. Whether that laugh comes from pity, acknowledgement of the truth, or nervousness over what I will do next, I have never quite worked out.
