Globe-Trotting, Salsa Nights...
"Hi Edie,
Just a quick note to say that Ronen Biran (Israel) has just contacted me from his London Hotel and we're off for some serious Salsa action. In Salsaweb there are no strangers just friends you haven't met yet-that was philosophical, not bad for a Friday night.
Oh yeah-I'll try to give you a choice of dates for my "baptism of salsa" in LA. I'd really love to meet you and the rest of the Salsaweb crew. Any chance of pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast? The dance floor awaits.....A-D-I-O-S

Hi Edie,
Tt is Friday night in Germany and I am at work instead of preparing myself to go out and dancing and it is the first time that I ever looked for Salsa in the Web, well, guess I am workaholic. No!! I am much more Salsa-holic and never thought there was so much fun information about Salsa out here.
Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that Salsa is big here in Germany too. I am addicted since 7 years, it got me with the first moves and did not let lose. Whenever I think I should move away, do other things, not dancing ... I cannot. It is a drug - makes you feel great in the moment you do it, bad after you've done it, because of so much missed sleep and so many old friends you d?d not find the time to visit. Your life is defined by this rhythm. At least mine is - and I can't do anything about it.
Well, and now I will run out of here, and if I can recuperate on the couch for an hour, I will be probably out with a friend of mine checking out a new club.
Hay que gozar.
Saludos de Alemania, Kerstin
The New Partner Search
and Vacation Planner Pages!
"Dear Edie,
I think I made a mistake by putting my phone number in the "partner search" section. I got two calls already 10 minutes apart (Saturday evening). Could you please take out my phone number....I did not think Salsa Web was that popular...
- DANCERMAY@aol.com . "
(Folks, she posted Partner Search info on Friday at 10:44pm)
SALSAWEB??? POPULAR??? Naaaaahhhh....
...It's LETHAL! Be careful!
You MAY just get MORE than you ASKED FOR....
"Dear Edie,
I made a little research among my friends. They all contributed. All of them are true stories!

How To Be A Total Turn-Off in A Club!
By Belle
You're dancing with a woman and trying to hold her hips, not waist.
Your breath smells like 6 months old garlic paste.
You turn down a woman who asks you to dance just because she doesn't dance well.
You get angry when a woman politely rejects you.
You get very persistent when a woman politely rejects you and you keep saying: "Please! Just one!" and keep pulling her to get her to dance.
You drop a woman in the middle of the song because she doesn't dance that well.
You dance with a woman the whole night, get flirtatious, and then at the end of the night, try to get her girlfriend's number.
You wipe your sweat off your face with your hands and then try to dry them on the woman you're dancing with.
You dance all over the floor when there isn't space for a pin-drop and make your partner bump into everybody.
You get a woman dizzy by spinning her like crazy during a slow song.
You dip her and then can't pick her back up!
You dance with a woman the whole night. Then next week when you see her, you don't even say "Hi" because you wanna look cool.
You're with your girlfriend and you're flirting with other woman.
Your girlfriend finds you dancing with other women on the way from the bathroom.
You pull a woman so close so she can feel your hard-on.
You assume that a woman's name is "Babe" or "Girl."
You criticize your partner's every move and then roll your eyes when she makes one little constructive criticism.
You get so drunk; you can't even walk straight.
