					<description><![CDATA[  &#8220;If I was a dressage horse I would have tilted you by now&#8221;, I joyfully yelled at our salsa teacher in the students&#8217; hall tonight after the first latin song. Today there was a strong mood for fast tempos and continuous spinning, so we suffered a lot of that for about two hours. Everyone was just trying to learn the steps. I was imagining a dressage horse doing horsey dancing stuff, well, while I was trying to learn the steps as well! I was turning, being turned, pushed, held and the like, all that the Cubans do, but today&#8217;s session was just a huge disaster for me -and the other dancers. Somewhere after the first hour (we hadn&#8217;t realised that, really), a tutee of mine went to greet two female friends. And it took him forever, so the others started imagining me picking my whip and start beating and were also imitating the noise of it! But in the end, I messed up with everything, making my pairs desperate and made the whole situation so hilarious, that we really started laughing and could not stop. Students who were watching us at the cafe were laughing too. Thank God nobody got hurt! So, here are the steps for the absolute disaster: Avoid practicing for 2 months Forget everything Lose counting and tempo Don&#8217;t concentrate Don&#8217;t synchronize with your pair Don&#8217;t figure out what to do after that specific move where your hands are on somebody else&#8217;s head in a weird way Step on people and let people step on you (by messing up) Make them laugh until they become as awful as you Keep dreaming of your equine friends Enjoy the results of your efforts! But anyways, if you need a cardio programme to improve your equestrian performance (including speed of movement and balance), go for salsa! Shhh, this is why I&#8217;ve joined!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Who has watched me riding knows it well; my sitting trot needs improvement. Desperately. And I know it well; I go mad every time I think about this. And my instructors both in Crete and England are often frustrated. Why? Why can&#8217;t I trot like other beginners who also ride just once a week? So, my instructors have reached the following conclusions: My legs need to get stronger. I think too much when I trot. More thinking than feeling. I rise up to the sky, which means that it takes me ages to return to the saddle (here&#8217;s some difference. It took me ages to rise from the saddle in the past). And this is mine: when they say &#8220;well done&#8221;, I get happy (too happy I would say), lose my concentration and mess up again. This is why I remind them not to tell me that phrase until I get off the horse. Ever. And I wish they never forgot it. So, yes. All these get mixed up, I guess, making my sitting trot infuriatingly messy. And the problem is, that even if your instructor sits there screaming instructions at you all day, everyday, your own effort is what matters the most. Especially if you know what to do, but simply can&#8217;t do it! But I&#8217;m determined to fix this, ladies and gentlemen! I&#8217;ve been serching around for tutorials with exercises and demonstrations. So, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been watching today, focusing on what I can do during the week-long break. I hope to see some progress, sometime soon! Any other suggestions?]]></description>
