Life in a London Start Up
In: London
3 Jul 2008I love my job.
Because I had gone to the line dancing class and mentioned that I enjoyed dance classes in general, Sarah, Spoonfed’s Out and About editor asked me if I wanted to go to the press night at a local salsa club. This meant free drinks, free dance lesson and another chance to write an article for the site (I realize my job is online marketing. That doesn’t mean I don’t love writing the articles).
I had a great time, although it was a bit of a let down as they clearly wanted us all to pay for the intermediate lesson after the beginner lesson (the beginner lesson was very, very basic). It was sort of a cross between a work out video and speed dating (lots of left and right and left! and left and right and left! alternated with switching dance partners along the line every few eight counts) but it got me moving and gave me an excuse to get some free drinks (a good move because everything’s so expensive here!).
