Mini Greek Yogurt "Cheese" Cakes and Salsa (the dancing kind)

Salsa: My Love for Dance

What does ANYTHING about baking has to do with salsa?

It doesn't really, so if you're not interested scroll down to the recipe below. For them curious folk read on =)

I've always loved dance from the first time I publicly hip hopped at my middle school dance and I got made fun of a little bit but I'll credit that to my friends being impressed ( maybe =S) It's an expression of self that feels natural to me. But after high school what opportunities do you really have to dance. I was never really into the whole clubbing scene. I LOVED the dancing, but the getting drunk and getting stared down or rubbed up on by some random guy (hot or not and most often not) wasn't so appealing.

So when university started, I jumped at the chance to learn salsa! It's a ballroom dance but I think it's one that's used most socially. I love the movement, the structure, the music. It pulses through me and when I dance, there are no other troubles in the world. No school, no family drama, I'm not tired, I just dance. But when school gets busy and personal burdens start to pile up, there's no time for dance. I didn't make time for it for about 2 years and I was always ITCHING to get back into it. Thanks to my salsa talented cuzzie, salsa, like baking, will hopefully never leave my life.
