&lt;P&gt;From the DJ (I can’t remember her name) to the people&lt;BR&gt;singing and dancing, we all had a pretty good time.&lt;BR&gt;Since I don’t need to be drunk to make a fool of&lt;BR&gt;myself, I was one of the first people to sing a song&lt;BR&gt;in Karaoke, which by the way, offered songs in English&lt;BR&gt;and in Spanish!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There was a table with like 10 people, most of them&lt;BR&gt;women, and they were singing most of the songs. &amp;nbsp;As&lt;BR&gt;time was passing, one could see the liberating effects&lt;BR&gt;of the alcohol, seeing that more and more singers were&lt;BR&gt;up to the microphone. &amp;nbsp; In between singers, there was&lt;BR&gt;“dancing” music, and it was a great pleasure to see&lt;BR&gt;real Bachata dancers! &amp;nbsp;There is a trick on the feet&lt;BR&gt;that not everybody knows how to do it!&lt;IMG title="courtesy projectfun.it" style="WIDTH:213px;HEIGHT:250px;" height=250 alt="courtesy projectfun.it" src="http://www.projectfun.it/easyUp/image/KARAOKE_SINGER.jpg" width=270 align=right&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So, if you are in New York, or you plan on coming any&lt;BR&gt;time soon, this is a great place to party&lt;BR&gt;Latino/Hispanic style.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The best thing for me was to see real women. &amp;nbsp;I mean,&lt;BR&gt;women with real curves! They were not afraid of their&lt;BR&gt;few extra pounds, and definitely not ashamed of moving&lt;BR&gt;to the rhythm of whatever music was on! &amp;nbsp;Those Latinas&lt;BR&gt;were shaking everything and having so much fun! &amp;nbsp;I&lt;BR&gt;wish these women were the ones we could see more as&lt;BR&gt;role models and in the cover of magazines. &amp;nbsp;I wish I&lt;BR&gt;could be more like them… &amp;nbsp;because I might be able to&lt;BR&gt;carry a tune every once in a while, but when I try&lt;BR&gt;dancing, I’m a sack of potatoes!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;-Sally de la Puerta.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
