At the movies

You know the feeling you get after watching a kung-fu flick? When you feel like kicking some ass? Ok, I have a similar feeling after watching ‘Shall we Dance?’ not really kicking someone’s ass but actually dancing, ballroom dancing to be more specific. I think I already know the answer but let me give it a shot, Do you know of any dance schools here in Kuwait? I think I heard of people teaching dancing and stuff privately but they only accept women (as far as I know).

Earlier today and upon the recommendation of one monkified girl I went to see baraka. Click on that link if you need to know about the film because I’m not going to say any thing about it. However I will write about the things bothered me the most while the film was playing, Like how they stupidly censored the film by actually blocking the projector while it was playing, so we were left to the soundtrack and a black screen. I didn’t really get it the first time, I thought it’s some kind of a technical problem but when it happened again (longer) I kinda knew what was happening and my blood was boiling like hell. I was this close of saying something stupid or maybe throwing a shoe at that fat guy in front of the projector. I might write them some hate mail or something like that.

Another thing was the very smart ass who sat next to me (almost next to me, the corridor was between us) he was the only one who had a problem shutting his mouth while the film was playing. There was a scene showing some skulls and he was like ‘جماجم’ … another scene featuring holy Mecca and people around it and he was like ‘حج’. I don’t have to mention the fingers cracking and loud rude yawns and the totally useless and unnecessary comments. I seriously considered shaking his hands and thanking him for his precious information he’s sharing with us.

    Taters, there’s this dude - Bader Al-Duwaisan’s his name - and I know that he used to teach salsa dancing at Messilah for the longest time. I may or may not have heard that he no longer works at Messilah, but I know for a fact he’s still teaching somewhere. If you’d like, I can get his number for you. If you’re not interested in salsa, I’m sure he can at least put you in touch with the right people.

    Lemme know.

    Haven’t you ever thought that they dont have dancing lessons available for men because its gay. I don’t care what anyone thinks but I think if a man dances then hes gay. But thats my own personal opinion. Hmmm. Actually I would like to marry someone who knew a few moves. Then again I do want my husband to be a bit gay.
