Flag Pinhole and Salsa Dancing in Suwon

I’ve started taking Salsa lessons on Sunday evenings at a little place called ‘Turn’ in Suwon. I’ve always loved watching dancers…at a performance, in a club, on TV, in a musical, on youtube, at a show, on random street corners, at burlesque shows, in plays, in my living room, at a party…
I tried taking swing dancing lessons once but my dance partner wasn’t as enthusiastic as I, thus resulting in a never ending yearning to learn some form of organized dance. I’ve had 2 lessons and am delighted to report that I know my basic steps and turns! AND when I dance with the instructor I even feel like I know what I’m doing, obviously he’s a terrific leader and I just follow, but the feeling is there!
After our lesson the club is transformed into a spectacle of colorful spin-tops twirling across the dance the floor. Feet repeat the pattern never missing a beat. The cadence of dance shoes compliment the rhythm of horns and drums. Hips swing you into a mesmerizing, hypnotizing gaze…
If you wish to partake, Turn is located by Hwaseong Fortress and The Big Chill and start at 5:30.
Hi,
Ive just arrived in Suwon and really want to have some intermediate lessons. Do you know if they do this, or is it just for beginners. I might pop by anyway and see what it’s like.
cheers
