I'm curious, what is the otso and pamela?????? O_o

Around here(Perth), there's not much local dances. You'll most likely find clubs that teaches good old swing and stuff like that. Salsa... yeah you can take salsa lessons almost everywhere here :P ... i never tried though. i'm a real chicken when it comes to skilled dances haha.

I actually took up classical dance classes for 1 whole year!!

Believe it or not!!

Learned nothing though... can't remember any of the moves anymore...

i'm american, so of course i can't dance!!
i can skank though, but that's not really dancing
in my opinion. my friend and i actually introduced
skanking into my school, and everyone thought
we were raving lunatics. ^_^
