Dancing is one of the best ways to lose weight and it’s fun. The dancing I want to learn requires that I find a partner who’s just as interested in the fun, romantic part of it. Well, I am not waiting and I decided to prepare in advance. Since I’m really hooked on Dancing with the Stars, I was tickled pink to find out that I can now get lessons in my own home from none other than Emmy Nominated Choreographer and Pro Dancer, Louis van Amstel.

Yes, I can picture it now…the lights turned down low, the heady beat of Salsa music playing in the background… romance is definitely in the air. My man comes across the room to me wearing his tux, his arms open, inviting me into his strong embrace.

I slowly walk towards him, my dress swaying as I gently move my hips from side to side. He grabs hold of my hand, putting his other hand behind me at the small of my back. Within a moment, he has my body tight up against his own; he holds me possessively, like he will never let me go.

I gasp! My heart is pounding. I have never been this much excited.

The music starts, the dance has begun. We move together across the dance floor; he spins me away from him, only to bring me back firmly, my body sliding up against his as together we twirl and grind and pump our bodies against one another, all to the hypnotic beat of the Salsa.

I sigh, as I wake up from my very vivid daydream, or was it?
