I have to say, this kind of thing happens all the time. We are with instructors now who are very comfortable with the idea that different people...
Winning is nice. I like to win. Winning can be an important validation of progress, especially if you are able to compare yourself against...
Very interesting. My initial concern would be whether the pros would start feeling like "dime a dance" guys and girls. However, I would definitely...
ChaChaChaCat, I'm going to give you a break here and suggest that not everything that hurts on us is attributable to age. I am 5'7" but also wear a...
Just be sure to use proper snow blower technique. Think of it as comp practice. :-)
It doesn't always work out that you can do this with finesse, but if you find yourself paired with the aforementioned feather virgin, you can always...
Ah, yes. Otherwise known as, "Here's something new that will really put you over the top for comp, and which you have only a 50% chance of being...
Had a dream during a nap the other day. I am the director of education for a small college, and I dreamed that I decided to dance for the students as...
Lots of brick, for some reason. Probably will dance on a weirdly sloping brick patio (with a drainage grate in the middle of it) this New Year's....
I love dips in theory. I will request that DH dip me socially, and I'm all about lessons in which pro and I do dips. There is perhaps one other man...

Just a small sharing of the glee in a forum where people will understand: Last week, the voices in my head came out my mouth during a lesson, when...
Heh. I know the feeling, Wooh. I always like to say that DH and still stink at dancing, but we're stinking up higher and higher level material...
LOL! And I'm allowed to laugh; I'm a Hoosier by birth and upbringing. [/OT] I carry the Capezio Jr. Pro (I think) dance bag, and it will hold...
For me, it helps to not think of hand pressure but of lat muscle engagement. If I think of hand pressure, I bend my wrist; if I think of arm...
Oh, that is a good one 3wishes! Any time (I think it has been twice...) my pro says "you feel like X when you do that," it is amazing. Another...
Definitely agree on the disappearance of a continual criticism. After what must have been a year of having everything come back to engaging my lats,...
Lessons humbling. Very, very humbling.
Artemia, I do both belly dance and ballroom as well, and I understand your concern. Depending on how long you've been doing each discipline, it could...
Must. Engage. Lat. Muscles.
