Taiwan Salsa Festival 2006
Man! Time flies when you're on holiday...
Juz came back from Taiwan... Superb place! Lots of food, clothes, frenly ppl... The Taiwan Salsa Fest was a great blast! It was small, but real cosy. We met Israel and Juan Carlos who are both really fantastic Cuban dancers. They way they isolate their shoulders and bodies just make you gulp... and drool. The great thing about taking part in overseas festivals is that you get to see the different ways each country dances Salsa. For example, Singapore's version of Bachata accentuates the hip on the 4 and 8, while the ppl in Taiwan do not do that! Instead, they glide their hip up slowly on the 4 and 8. It creates a totally different feel to the dance, and it'll be cool to incorporate it in our Bachata. And ohmigosh, the way Juan Carlos dances Bachata is fantabulous! haha... I can't describe it except that you have to follow him coz his rhythm changes as he feels it and as the music flows. haha... That's dancing from the heart for you!
The Taiwanese
The Taiwanese people were super friendly. On our first night there, they brought us to eat Tai Chung's most famous stinky tofu... It was cooked to perfection lah! Haha... One our students in the workshop, Sugar (tt's her name! =p), offered to drive us back to the hotel from the place where we conducted our workshop, on both days! She also bought us chicken feet and some crackers that were famous in Tai Chung... So sweet of her!
Taiwan Culture
Taiwan's a great place to go... the night life's fantastic, the variety of food is amazing and intoxicating, the people are fun-loving and shopping's great!
Sooooo many clothes tt's diff from Singapore. The rates are not very cheap, abt the same as Singapore actually, but a lot more blinnk and dressy... Their hip hop culture is cool. The clothes are so erm, hip and they juz dance on the streets! We went to a tourist spot which is an old place of worship and now a cultural arts centre, there were kids dancing all over, wherever they could find reflective glass doors for mirrors. So cool... harder to find in Singapore... 10 ppl consider illegal gathering?? and is basking licensable in Singapore? *shrug* I love their culture there... It's nice. But I love Singapore too... heehee
