Salsa on the beach

It's a hot day, the Bournemouth Cuban Salsa Congress has just hosted it's last class of the day so there's time to fill before the Sunday Party Finale so, what to do?



Moe Flex suggests salsa on the beach, nobody argues and after a big cheer everyone meanders down to the beach, which is packed with 'real holiday makers' (Noches-de-Salsa Pontins crew will know what real holiday makers are.. lol) soaking up the sun.

Soon there's a big rueda circle forming and the dancing starts. I find a decent vantage point on the pier (50p entry if you don't mind) and film the action. See the video attached.

The wheel descends into a bit of chaos as everyone incuding lots of random bathers join in. Many can't hear the calls, some have no idea what a 'fly' is, others are struggling in the sand. 'What's happening there?' says a fellow pier promenader. 'Is it dancing?' Yes it is dancing but not as we know it.. I think to myself.

But it's smiles all round, especially when a 3 year old lad toddles over for a look. Might be a future Leandro in the making as he did a few moves with Moe.
