Story Transcript:

Ca: Jordi era un jove amb ganes d'aventura.
En: Jordi was a young man with an appetite for adventure.

Ca: Un dia, va decidir explorar els carrers antics i estrets del Barri Gòtic de Barcelona.
En: One day, he decided to explore the old and narrow streets of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter.

Ca: No coneixia gairebé res d'aquella zona, però els edificis antics i les estretes voreres l'encisaven.
En: He knew almost nothing about that area, but the old buildings and narrow sidewalks fascinated him.

Ca: Camí a la plaça Sant Felip Neri, es va adonar que s'havia perdut.
En: On his way to Plaça Sant Felip Neri, he realized he was lost.

Ca: No sabia cap a on anar, i els carrers empedrats s'assemblaven tots.
En: I didn't know where to go, and the cobbled streets were all the same.

Ca: Va començar a caminar sense rumb, esperant trobar algú que l'ajudés.
En: He started walking aimlessly, hoping to find someone to help him.

Ca: De sobte, va sentir música i riures provinents d'una petita porta de fusta.
En: Suddenly, he heard music and laughter coming from a small wooden door.

Ca: Va decidir entrar i el que es va trobar el va deixar sorprès.
En: He decided to go inside and what he found surprised him.

Ca: Era una classe de salsa improvisada en un ball local.
En: It was an impromptu salsa class at a local dance.

Ca: Jordi no tenia ni idea de ballar salsa, però les melodies alegres i els moviments excitants despertaven la seva curiositat.
En: Jordi had no idea how to salsa dance, but the cheerful melodies and exciting movements piqued his curiosity.

Ca: Es va acostar tímidament i va preguntar si podia unir-se a la classe.
En: He shyly approached and asked if he could join the class.

Ca: Els ballarins van ser molt amables i li van permetre participar.
En: The dancers were very kind and allowed him to participate.

Ca: Durant les següents hores, Jordi va aprendre els passos bàsics de la salsa.
En: During the following hours, Jordi learned the basic steps of salsa.

Ca: Va sentir la música en el seu cos i es va deixar portar pels moviments.
En: He felt the music in his body and let himself be carried away by the movements.

Ca: Es va adonar que ballar li feia sentir viu i feliç.
En: She realized that dancing made her feel alive and happy.

Ca: Quan la classe va acabar, els ballarins van animar Jordi a continuar ballant salsa.
En: When the class ended, the dancers encouraged Jordi to continue salsa dancing.

Ca: Li van donar l'adreça d'un estudi de ball proper on podria seguir aprenent i ballant.
En: They gave her the address of a nearby dance studio where she could continue learning and dancing.

Ca: Amb una nova passió en el seu cor, Jordi va seguir els consells dels amables ballarins i va anar a l'estudi de ball.
En: With a new passion in his heart, Jordi followed the advice of the friendly dancers and went to the dance studio.

Ca: Des de llavors, es va convertir en un ballador apassionat i va guanyar molts amics en el món del ball.
En: Since then, he became a passionate dancer and won many friends in the dance world.

Ca: La seva confiança i felicitat es van reflectir en altres àmbits de la seva vida.
En: His confidence and happiness were reflected in other areas of his life.

Ca: Jordi va descobrir que, a vegades, perdre's et porta a llocs inesperats i increïbles.
En: Jordi discovered that sometimes getting lost takes you to unexpected and incredible places.

Ca: Amb el temps, Jordi va aprendre a ballar molts altres estils de ball i va convertir-se en un ballarí reconegut a Barcelona.
En: Over time, Jordi learned to dance many other dance styles and became a renowned dancer in Barcelona.

Ca: Potser hauria estat millor no perdre's aquell dia, però si ho hagués fet, no hauria descobert la seva passió pel ball.
En: It might have been better not to miss that day, but if I had, I wouldn't have discovered her passion for dancing.

Ca: I així, Jordi va viure feliç ballant per sempre més.
En: And so, Jordi lived happily ever after dancing.

Ca: I tot va començar gràcies a una petita desorientació als carrers estrets del Barri Gòtic de Barcelona.
En: And it all started thanks to a little disorientation in the narrow streets of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter.
