While I know there are many more pressing matters at hand, there's been a distinct problem I've noticed onboard in the most recent karaoke nights.  I won’t name names, but I have noticed a lack of rhythm that can be rectified with a little practice. Luckily, I am here to help, and there is no singing required.

This Friday, I'll be hosting a group salsa class in the community room.   You don't need to have danced before; all prior skills you need are the ability to count to eight and how to stand up straight.

All are welcome, though anyone who is judgmental towards others just learning will be asked to leave.  I don't have patience for that, and it's supposed to be fun.

See you Friday at seven.  Wear comfortable shoes.

i’m not rhythmically challenged, but i don’t know how to salsa. i’ll be there.

[adequacies]

You’ll catch on quickly.

foxy.

[jinking]

Hey there!
How's it going
I hope this message finds you well
So I owe you an apology

Hi! [...] How's it going?

[searlait]

There's not enough opportunities for less comfortable shoes.

[adequacies]

There’s always trying to teach how to walk in heels.

[finotti]

What if I can count to 10 but slouch a bit?

[adequacies]

You might be trainable, so I’ll see you Friday.

[jaxsons]

God, I haven't salsa'd in years.

[adequacies]

Has Papá failed you all?

[agyieus]

what if we're not beginners

[adequacies]

Then you’ll be expected to show off as an example to others.

[highvolt]

whoooo exactly were you looking at, tho?

[witlessbay]

you

[loculus]

Are experienced dancers allowed to attend provided they aren't eaten by a bear later this week?

[jaxsons]

No one's being eaten by a bear.

[reidings]

It’s nice of you to offer to teach us, I’ve never done it but I’m always looking for a new skill.

[adequacies]

It’s been a bit for me, too, but I grew up dancing and miss it.

[delilahs]

Not an experienced salsa dancer but will be there if I don't get sacrificed to the bears! We probably won't become bear food though

[adequacies]

I am growing concerned that more than one of you has mentioned being nibbled by bears. Does Jax have his hands full? (I know he does)

[andcaboodle]

I hope you all have a wonderful time but unfortunately I have an incurable slouch and I get fuzzy on the numbers between 5-8

[adequacies]

I can give you a very important job to incentivize your attendance.

[stayonscript]

How do you feel about non-participating spectators?

[adequacies]

The more the merrier.

[foundlostfound]

Why are we dancing

[agyieus]

having rhythm is important

[archiees]

I'll give it a go.

[adequacies]

Yes, excellent. I’m happy to have you.

[agueyegrey]

It's karaoke, a distinct lack of rhythm is the point.

[adequacies]

I thought the point of karaoke was wailing with enthusiasm?

Regardless. If we ever manage to enjoy a concert once again, they’ll all be made fun of for clapping on the wrong beats.

[dochenka]

Maybe.

[adequacies]

I want you there, but you don’t have to learn if you don’t wish to.

[heelhook]

since everybody's going. dibs on the squat rack

[adequacies]

Don’t forget about cleaning up your exertions.

[jinking]

I've been known to cut a pretty decent figure on the dance floor now and then.

[adequacies]

I’ll prepare to be amazed.

[chemveil]

What if our heckling is concentrated on one person?

[adequacies]

Is it creative or basic heckling?

[ithax]

I only got boots. That going to be a big issue?

[adequacies]

Shouldn’t be. How light on your feet are you?

[jetting]

[…] Everyone’s been working hard this week. Enjoy the downtime.

[adequacies]

[…] you don’t have to participate to be present.

[griiff]

I'm afraid I've got two left feet and neither of them know what they're doing.

[adequacies]

Ah, but I do, and am an excellent teacher.

[adrii]

It seems you will have your hands full.

[adequacies]

I should have anticipated it. Are you coming?
