Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia

Last night I went out with bunch of other students from one of the other language schools in Heredia, the Centro Idomas de Intercultura, to a local dance club where a live band was playing salsa, merengue, and cumbia tunes (the 3 major dances here). The people here just love to dance. There were so many impressive dancers, I was just blown away. I've been taking a few salsa and merengue classes here so this was a real cultural experience... A lot of the other students have been in Costa Rica much longer (some close to a year now, studying and working). I have been having problems embedding my youtube videos lately. The best way to see videos I shot of some impressive dancers is to click on my youtube site. After last night, I plan to continue salsa and meringue classes after I go back to states... I'm hooked!
