Mai puts Latin Dance to the Test

WHEN I first heard about the Latin dance-mix class I was excited. I expected it to be a regular dance class where I would learn to salsa with my partner. How wonderful would it be to learn how to Merengue for my wedding, I thought?
The class was even better than what I had hoped for. It wasn’t your usual dance class. It was a combination of sexy dance moves to funky and hip music that made for an excellent work-out. I broke more than a little sweat there as the very next day I felt the aches in my hips, bottom and arms.
 
Despite the painful after-effects of a sudden bout of exercise, since I love Reggaeton, hip hop and all Latin-styles of dance this wasn’t much of an ordeal for me.
