A friend invited me to a Kompa class at a club, and the day has arrived. We hadn’t seen each other in a while, so we went for drinks and appetizers for some girls’ talk before the club. We enjoyed catching up and were ready to dance the night away.

We walk upstairs to class, and everyone is chatting and waiting for the class to start. I instantly get nervous, and my hands are sweating. Hahaha, The instructor had the women lineup on one side of the aisle and the men across the way. The men would rotate to the right, and the women would remain in place. I love to dance when a man leads so I can follow. Hahaha, So it is all in the hips!! I danced with all the men in the class, and I assisted the instructor with a demonstration. I’m very shy 🙈 so I almost passed out when the instructor grabbed my hand. 😂 The class taught us the basic moves, but the real dancing happened afterward.

He puts his hand in mine, “Black Glitter, would you like to dance?” He was tall, relaxed, and handsome and provided good tips on enhancing my dance skills. He shared that he is from the East Coast, has lived in Los Angeles, and has worked in the entertainment industry. I shared that I am from Los Angeles and worked in the entertainment industry for six years at a major studio. He rolled his eyes hahaha I have met quite a few east coasters that show no love for a west coast lady hahaha We danced several times, and he was the perfect gentleman.

A gentleman in the club who didn’t attend the class asked me to dance. I share that this is my first time dancing Kompa, and I am a nervous. He looked at me and said, “I got you!” He said, “During this part, just move your hips very slow, and when the beat drops, we will move faster” So, we are whining our hips very slowly, and when the beat dropped, we are turning, and he is spinning me around. You cannot tell me that I am not in a dance competition and I am going for first place. Hahaha, He just upgraded my dancing skills to the next level in two minutes. We danced for a while. It was a good time, and I sat down and watched the others.

He walked over, stretched out his hand, I grabbed his hand, and he asked with a strong accent, “Is your husband here? Is your boyfriend here? Is your fiancé here?” I responded, “No,” and he said, “Good! Let’s dance” I put my left hand on his shoulder, grabbed his right hand, and he pulled in close. Then, he places his hands on the small of my back and shows my body which way to move. Oh my! He is a fantastic dancer and leader! We are moving to the beat, and my slow whining follows his touch. This one is very sensual out of all the dances that night. This dancing is an upgraded level from what I just learned. Hahaha, he is spinning me around and turning me to the beat. I have on shorts so that I can move freely without restriction. I understand why he asked if I had a partner there because I would have been single after that dance. What a night! I can’t wait to go back. 😜

Until next time!

What’s next starts now!
