“Feel the beat of the rhythm”
Dancing takes to the waves by storm. 2013 will be the 6th and final Aventura Dance Cruise on board the Carnival Victory ship. After the premier of dancing with the stars, I think we all craved a little of that ballroom atmosphere, and nearly 7days a week you can go out on the town and find a small corner of the city dancing to the Caribbean rhythms of the two most popular styles of Latin dance, Bachata and Salsa. It has become a great fun way to meet people in a far less awkward manner than the usual bar banter, or something you can go do with that someone in your life.
Now that you have learned the steps, let’s talk about how to have fun with it! You have been waiting for the right time to take a vacation and with the abundance of options, where do you begin? Why not start with your newfound hobby of dance, and get a tan while you are at it. The Aventura dance cruise has become quite the fall event. I write this as an avid salsa dancer in the twin cities, but you do not need to be a pro to participate. With more than 40 hours of all different levels and types of workshops taught by world renown artists and performances by the most fun dance companies, how could not have a great time?
Having attended a few salsa conventions across the country, I can advocate for the fun times you can have, even without knowing many people at all. At my first salsa congress, I spent the days on the beach and picked maybe two classes to attend throughout the 4 days. The shows are the most fun and definitely get you in the mood for the social dancing that will go until all hours of the night. You can stay for a dance or two, or stay until 5 in the morning. It was nice to have my option on how much I wanted to participate or just watch.
