Just realized the Clarendon ballroom dance class I signed up for has me two-stepping with a guy who only speaks Klingon
I showed up to the community center on Wilson Blvd last Tuesday for the beginner salsa class and got paired with a guy in a Star Trek shirt who kept counting off in Klingon instead of Spanish. When I asked the instructor to switch partners she said the rotation is 'random and final,' so now I'm learning to dance by vibe alone. Has anyone else taken a class at that center and gotten stuck with a wild partner, or is it just me?
Wait, did she really say the rotation is final like it's a court order? That is wild. I feel for you because salsa is already hard enough without your partner yelling countdowns in a made up language. Honestly the instructor should have stepped in because part of her job is making sure people can actually follow along, not just throwing you in and hoping for the best. If it happens again next week you might just have to smile and nod and follow his lead based on his body, which is a real skill but not what you paid for. That center has a rep for weird pairings though, so you are not alone.
