It was close to 4:00 am and I was exhausted from the last four days of dancing for hours on end, but it was the last song of the night and I had already sweated (I'm a sweat bath...doing anything with my hair is useless) and panted through the last three songs, so, there was really nothing to do but go for it. It was one of my favorite salsa songs (Sonido Bestial by Bobby Cruz and Richie Ray), but I didn't know it was the extended remix version. If you have to die dancing salsa, that would be the song. I was dancing with Don't Miss A Beat for six minutes of serious, aerobic high speed salsa when I didn't think I had anything left in me... the last few minutes reminded me of the final sprint in the 1600 in high school...but a lot more fun.

Just for today, salsa hasn't killed me.
