Hot-lanta's "Sanctuary"

Another weekend of dancing in Atlanta left me extremely tired and happy. Friday night my friend Anthony and I went to "Sanctuary" and had a BLAST!!! There were quite a few amazing dancers there. I danced a beautiful Bachata set with a guy whose name I didn't get. He was a great leader and had perfect rhythm...wonderful combination!! The highlight though was that I met two guys who absolutely LOVED dancing and playing when they danced. I had a great time and I think for the first time EVER I had to insist on sitting down. They had me dancing non-stop. It started out with them passing me between the two of them and the group grew to five! It was the best time I have had dancing since I have been back in the States. It is rare to meet folks who love dancing for the dance and not because they are trying to show off or are so focused on doing the steps just right that the fun is sucked out of it.

Once again, great dance floor and awesome music. The staff is crazy cool too cuz I left my organizer there and received a phone call from one of the managers. It was a trip though because he had to look through it to get my information and saw all of the Korean writing and my subway map of Seoul. Turns out that the manager is Korean! He said he was worried that I was leaving town and he would have had to mail it to me :) Hahahaha! I explained to him that I was in the States and could, in fact, come and pick it up that night. I think he was so confused. He was shocked like most people are when I tell them that Latin dancing is really big in Korea...Seoul is like the mecca for Latin dancing in Asia.

Another great weekend. I leave for Chicago next week. I am already planning my dance class schedule(as a student) and my dance schedule!! hehehehehe! I will head down to Charleston this weekend before leaving. I haven't been to Toucan Reef in a minute!
