Aerobics class!

As things start to get routine, I hope i still have some interesting cultural observations to share... but until then, here's something..

Just came from an aerobics class.. oh, did i already comment about how there seems to be a particular dance with each sort of song that comes out on the radio?... like for one dance it's double steps to right and left, hands up, shake booty, hands out shake booty, hands on shoulders, then a hip thrust.. and then this running thing... i've seen it at other places, including from my dance teacher when i was in the language immersion course. but pretty much every other song i hear, i see people doing a particular dance to it... the aerobics class was a lot of fun.. i took two in a row and it really seems like the instructors are alot more passionate about the music they choose for their class than i've seen in the states.. in the two classes (taught by two different instructors)... they played some cheesy, yet hard, gabber that i remember hearing at parties during the late 90s (tho in the dance room that i tended to avoid)... and then they played some cumbia.. gotta love the cumbia... there seems to be a plethora of 'cheesy' pop music here... guess we have that in the states too heh...

at the same time I do enjoy some good salsa music and dancing...

the cumbia is sort of growing on me too.. sort of how George Michael has a place in my heart, it's sort of has the same kind of cheesiness that i could dance to (though wouldn't listen at home, heh)....

So for the gym admission for the day it was S/10.. which is about $3.33... theres a membership for S/85 per month, which comes out to just under $30.... not really that much less than in teh states, hrmph..
