Viva Havana!

Seeing Cuba removed from the official United States terror list, in itself a form of terrorism, is an excellent thing.  Havana was one of the party capitals of the Universe and those days will come again.  That may not be so good for the city as big bucks may turn it into another Miami and I'm sure no-one wants that.

Even so, it's time to learn to salsa and do learn those spins, slinky mama, and also learn about 'spotting' or ... well ... you'll get dizzy and fall down.  I have never seen such incredible dancers as Cubans.  Puerto Ricans are very good but Cuba ... unbelievable.

'Spotting' is a technique bellydancers use for spins.  They pick a point in the room and focus on it each time around the spin.  In some way this keeps them level.

It's such a short hop to Cuba that it's an obvious choice for an inexpensive vacation as you have to go almost to Venezuela to get to Aruba.

This makes me happy for Cuba and America as peace comes after all these years.  It's a beautiful thing.
