Tibor, I just wanted to say that it was cool to see you dance last weekend after seeing your posts here on DF so many times. You (and your partners)...
To just cough up the appalling sum and stay at the comp hotel, because the convenience is worth it. Otherwise, all free time is spent shuttling...
You guys are so good! I am passing these on to our friends. Thank you so much! TC, I'm trying to think if I've ever heard "Friend Like Me" played...
I'd forgotten about "Friends and Lovers"! You guys rock. TC, you're right about the Tim McGraw song. I was hearing the tempo wrong before. Maybe...
DF brain trust, can you help me come up with song suggestions? My husband and I are helping a couple of friends prepare for their first dance as...
My husband and I have competed am/am at a couple of RSF competitions and been able to pay a flat rate comparable to USA Dance comps' entry fees. So...
Thanks, Larinda and thanks everybody who chimed in on the tempo/pitch thing. I hadn't thought about it in those terms so I'm glad to know that the...

What I learned just by looking at the pictures of Smooth heats from my last comp: -- I appear to be split-weight and flat-footed WAY too often. -- I...
+1. I also wear 1403 and have found that they stretch a good bit, especially if I sweat a lot. My current pair is a 5 (I wear 8 or 8.5 in a...
It depends on how annoyed I am at the time. Hee. Very little pressure is needed. Your arm is just propped there; I think I am more conscious of...
My partner/husband's biggest frame problem is that he tends to lead with his forehead and right side so he's often too close to me à la Dirty Dancing...
I'm not a teacher either (well, not a dance teacher) but I might even put posture/frame before steps & terminologies. Once a beginner knew some...
Totally. But if you are gracious to the same people a few times, they might start to become your friends. ;)
