Chapters
I was terrified of salsa dancing. I don't understand the music. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand how beautiful these women are. All these things were intimidating to me. Funny enough, I lived above a jazz club. So every week, I would go and just sit in the corner like that creepy guy, just watching all these amazing dancers. And women would always try to invite me to come out on the dance floor. And I was just like, no, I don't want to make you look bad. It was like the fear of humiliation was strong for me. Well, this one woman just dragged me out there, and I was dancing with her, just, like, intimidated. And I was stepping on her feet, and I was bumping into people, and I was just like, man, this is not good. And after, like, a minute, she hits my chin. She goes, louis, look at me. No one is looking at you. And I went through this obsession for the next few years of going all in on this fear until the point where now I could go anywhere in the world, find the best dancer in a second.
