My new hobby - dancing!

One good thing is about a British university are the endless opportunities in terms of student life. With a campus of 90'000 students, Manchester offers a society for everyone: the clubbing society, AIESEC, the Malaysian society, the knitting society and many more.

I joined the dance society, and I am enjoying it enormously. I am taking a Salsa Class and a ballroom dance class. After the classes, you can go for 1.5 h practice, where they just play the music and let you dance. Students of all levels participate in the practice, and that gives you the opportunity to see some real tournament dancers - a fantastic sight! I always come back energetic and happy from the classes. The atmosphere is totally relaxed, and you always find a partner (very often a girl, as most guys have been dragged there by their girldfriends and are already "taken").

So far I learnt: Salsa, Tango, Quickstep, Valse, Chachacha and Rumba. I am - mildlly said - only an average talent, but because of the frequency of the practice, I feel like I have made already big steps! The good thing though is that there is no competition or stress: One of the best thing of the dance classes is how much you laughbecause you stumble around.

Yes, dancing is one of the things in life that just make me happy :-)
