Dead Man Dancing
The founder’s reprieve between funding rounds never feels long enough. Way too often, you find yourself in a room asking your investors to pull out their checkbooks again.

There’s a great Salsa dancing scene in the new movie “Meet Dave” and it almost makes me want to go see the whole movie. Almost.

Eddie Murphy’s character goes on a date to a Salsa club with a beautiful woman and when she hears one of her favorite songs, of course she wants to dance. She’s going to teach him, but since his body is actually controlled by aliens, this isn’t a simple task.

Eddie Murphy also plays one of the aliens and it turns out he just doesn’t have what it takes to take part in this spicy dance, so one of the more “feminine” male aliens takes the helm and really busts out the moves.

Check out this video smuggled from a movie theatre over at DimeloLife.com, which is also a Social Salsa community so you may want to sign up while you’re there too.
