Salsa Creeps And The Salsa Gang Bang
Today, I watched a World Champion Salsa dancer drop a girl on her head. It could have been her fault, but I doubt it.
Last Wednesday, I got thrown into a Salsa Gang Bang scenario. It sounds pretty awful, but it’s actually when a bunch of Salseros take turns dancing with a girl. Normally, they are all guys that I normally dance with. However, this time all these guys I had never seen before were showing up and the song was two things destined to kill a Salsera: fast and long. I was, literally, dancing as fast as I can.
Why? Because I’m crazy.
When World Champion Salsero jumped in, I went with the flow even though he was very aggressive, and flipped me over. I was relieved Serial Monogamist Salsero stepped in. However, I overheard World Champion yelling, “Castigala!” which translates to “Punish her!”
WTF?!
Needless to say, when I saw him today drop the girl on her head, I realized that he wasn’t kidding.
In all fairness, mysoginy isn’t a mentality relegated to Salsa World, but, like toxic mold, it’s omnipresent even when you don’t see it.
I was still proud of myself for keeping up.
Just for today, I can keep up with the Salsa Gang Bang.
