TGIF: Dance Dance Dance

Well I am happy to say Friday has come because we always desperately need a break. After school today we got to enjoy a little time at a gran fiesta at our school for the adult students. As ILP teachers, we work with children ages 5-12 teaching them english, but upstairs at the Heslington Institute, they have youth and adult students who are learning english. We shared some cake and ice cream and enjoyed some crazy music, but afterwards is when the real party started.

At our church, we have dances for the young adults every so often for fun, and we were really excited to be able to go to one here in Mexico, because we know all Mexicans are awesome dancers. When we first got to the dance, it wasn't doin' so hot. The lights were bright, there weren't any people, there were five year olds running around, and no music..just karaoke, so we were hesitant to stay. If there is one thing I have learned about being in Mexico, it is that Mexicans run on their own time..which is typically late. So we waited...





Once an American song came on, we were out there fist pumpin and side steppin, which got everyone comfortable enough to start dancing. I guess everyone was just waiting for everyone else to start dancing...as usual. So from then on, there was tons of dancing, silly or legitimate salsa dancing, and we had a lot of fun. We ate some square pizza and acted like crazy people, and ended up making a lot more friends than we started with. Now we have two dinner dates...hahah... How fun! Our Friday turned out to be pretty good!!
