Obi-Wan-On-2
JPLogan decided to up Nova’s salsa training by taking her to Jimmy Anton’s. That place gets too hot for me right now, but it was good to get a taste of the on-2 performed in its glory scene. There are some amazing dancers there. And some teachers cloaked as dancers. I had a Star Wars Matrix moment on the dance floor. Does it get better than that? I met a real Obi-Wan-On-2. Odysseus had Athena, right?
I warn guys I’m a beginner when I’m offered a dance. Obi-Wan-On-2 wasn’t hearing it. “I didn’t ask you what level you are. I asked you to dance.” (points for confidence, check).
He wasn’t taking apologies for mistakes. “Don’t be sorry”.
He also said the equivalent of, “You’re are not following the force.” What he said was “You’re not feeling the music. Forget the numbers. Feel the music.” Neo, hear the matrix? It calls you.
Obi-Wan-On-2 then noticed that my moves were based on something treacherous: eyesight. Silly girl, every Jedi and Neo knows that the world of sight is a horrible illusion. So Obi-Wan-On-2 asked me to dance with my eyes closed. “Follow my lead by how I move my arm and hand. That is where our dance should originate: touch”. And because I really knew this was a Obi-Wan-Kanobe I agreed to do it…
Do I recommend doing this was just anyone? No. You have to be sure it’s really Obi-Wan. It did make me realize that in all these numbers and instructions and angst about following them, I need to remind myself to tap into what really beckons me to the dance floor.

I give you a lot of credit. I thought about it… don’t think I could do it. Trust issues… plus I always cheated at pin the tail on the donkey at birthday parties but nobody ever suspects the quiet girl, I was never caught.
I don’t know how you did it!
Very well Nova on the dance floor did. The force is strong in this one. Proud she will soon be the best puertogriccan become.
