Rollercoaster ride continued - obtaining new momentum

After the somewhat despondent posting last week this week's entry is much more upbeat, precipitated by a very intense dancing session.
There were several changes which resulted in matters brightening up considerably
First we did change partners less than we normally do and I had the pleasure to dance with someone who's roughly at the same level and this made it much more enjoyable.
Secondly we also learnt a couple of new moves which were challenging but were also explained very well, not only by the teacher but also by an advanced dancer who has joined the class recently to provide extra support.
Finally we were, for the first time asked to string together a series of moves we've learnt in previous sessions, initially 2, then 3 and so on until there was a total of about 8 or so. This was cleary developing into a proper dance and although it was exceedingly challenging to remember the sequence of those moves it worked remarkably well, apart from the fact it was physically very exhausting.
For the first time though one could feel the sensation of real Salsa dancing and the affirmative looks of the teacher confirmed that real tangible progress has been made.
I think we're approaching the main learning outcome.
