I got it into my head that I wanted to take up salsa dancing - I thought it would be good, enjoyable excercise that wouldn't be too hard on my joints (I have arthritis)
I googled local salsa groups and found one that seems to have classes all over the county, with a contact email.
So, I dropped them a nice email that went something along the lines of: "I am really interested in taking up salsa, could you please let me have details of classes local to me, I live in XXX, I would also be much obliged if you would give me your opinions on whether salsa would be an appropriate excercise for me as I suffer from arthritis and should steer clear of anything too "high impact" thanks very much...."
After about three days I got an email in reply that said:
"details on website. As far as arthritis goes, try it and see"
That was it. No hello, nice to hear from you, thanks for your query... nothing.
Now, my dilemma: I really want to go, but I'm not sure I've got the nerve to just turn up ( I don't know whether they are drop in classes, or if you have to book) and I'm doubly unsure now that I have a very curt email... is the person likely to be as short in rl?
So... AIBU to feel really, really put off by this?
(sorry it was so long, didn't expect it to be)
