Salsa fix?

When you talk to salsa dancers, it's really amazing how animated they get. For them, salsa is like breathing. They've just gotta do it to live -- it's an addiction for many, and they have to have a "fix." Question: How do you know when you need a fix? Symptoms? And how long can you go between salsa dancing "hits" before you've just gotta have another?
 
I need to dance salsa at least once a week. I have adjusted to usually dancing salsa once a week because I love quite a few other dances and there are only so many hours every week. Also it being a small town there aren't always salsa events on a daily basis. :(

If I have a so-so time at another dance (even if it is non-salsa) I need an emergency latin fix. So, yes it is like breathing, rejuvenating...Yesterday night because of the frustrating waltzes, only one cha-cha...I must go out tonight. So I danced salsa Tuesday, Wednesday, and now am going to go out latin dancing Saturday, today night. :)
 
I ALWAYS need a fix! :lol: My fixes only last for the evening. Once the next day comes it starts all over again. Almost vampirish! :twisted: symptoms include: loss of sleep, uncontrollable clapping/tapping/beating of la clave, salsa dancing to any genre of music in earshot...just to name a few. :wink:
 
Salsa IS life!

If I can't go out and dance, i'm in my room with my headphones and full-length mirror....or I'll venture out into the living room and dance with my brother.

I need my fix EVERY day!

I love ballroom, but salsa fix is what keeps me going. 2 times a week is a necessity, but salsa is an antidepressant, so if not everything goes great in my life, you'll see me dancing more often...
I was travelling recently and couldn't salsa for 2 weeks. Anxiety, loss of sleep, cravings for chocolate (yet another happiness drug? :lol: ), dance moves whenever no one is around... :oops:
Is it treatable? R U addicted?

Hmmmm, let me see. Pulse... check. Not snoring... check. OK, I need a "fix" :D
 
Ha, ha, David...pulse check, indeed! :) Like Redhead, I love ballroom, but there's something indescribably fabulous and fluid aobut salsa. I try to dance it twice a week, but that's only limited by silly things like work and sleep...if I didn't have to do either, it would be every night...acutally every other night that I wasn't doing ballroom! :)
 
It's not rare for me to go out every day of the week and
go straight from the club to work on many occasions...

In fact, here I am at work this morning and I was just out
last night till very late.

After that, we went back to my house (hard wood floors)
and kept dancing until about 7:00am...

Slept for about 20 minutes and here I am... :D
