Thanks to Jim for letting me take pictures of the Toronto Salsa Practice group. Taking salsa lessons years ago, Jim suggested a few beginners meet up to practice. Now every Saturday, dancers have to arrive early to get a spot in one of three two-hour dance sessions. The place is buzzing with excitement and energy - high on dance.

I had to take pictures from the balcony, because the Saturday afternoon practice was sold out (as usually happens) and there was no extra space for me.

I am most interested in capturing personalities and interactions. I don't really know enough about salsa to look for the finer points of the dance itself.

I'm sure I'll be back there taking pictures again, if I can manage to squeeze in somewhere.

dweiskir Shooting from the balcony was perfect. I love the perspective, looking down on the dancers. Beautiful set.

????? Great pics! Can't decide which is my favourite - maybe number seven, the electrocution one, 'cause the angle of the arms is like the hair sticking out all over, and the big burn-out upper left - looks like she's pulling the guy out of a fire (or throwing him in?).

Thanks for the kind words about the practice; I hope to see you there again soon - it's supposed to be sunny this Saturday . . .

mhannah55 this is such a great set. i can definitely feel the movement. it's interesting to see the different interactions between people and the concentration on some people's faces. other seem like it comes naturally to them. i guess that's what practice does for you! i like the second and third from last the best i think.
