I'm fine with it either way - I like it in moderation. My reactions are: Clean man = perfectly fine, pretty safe bet, rarely noticeable at a...
Lots of sensible stuff above, the only thing I'd add is that, disregarding obvious red flags which have been mentioned already, I've always found...
Mm. I've been there, in various ways over time. On balance, I don't think you should worry about it. Basically you just don't want to be 'flyaway'...
I would say that the high one *can* be a totally natural movement and a surprise and not the follower's choice: and therefore I think that (if you...
To some degree (UK), yes. Usually quite minimal in practice, though, as my experience goes. By which I mean it's not actually significant when...
Interesting points. I mostly cannot tell what the man is doing with his feet, especially if he is very quick, and I don't need to, it's not relevant...
Hmm. Thinking about it, I really can't say there's a rule. I wouldn't say it's rare.
Hmm, you put the question very well. I agree with the thread so far on what the priorities are. You are right that 'a nice embrace' is a tricky...
I don't know that I have an opinion about how vals 'should' be danced, but I very much like this one, which is a bit different from any posted so...
Welcome! Yes, all of this is good advice. Lots of people go through this. Don't let it stop you. You probably have a clearer idea what you want to...

For traditional music, assuming the DJ is playing tandas, the only lengths I have encountered are either 3 or 4. Most (by by no means all) DJs who...
Maybe "takeoff" would be a better translation?
I think that's historically very true, in much the same way (and in roughly the same time frame, you could argue) as baseball and Test Cricket....
I shouldn't think so. To summarise, you are right. They are the same. The names are just for convenient reference. Once you can lead the...
I have not taken classes with them but know some people who have, those people being at (deservedly) teacher level with many years experience. To...
Legally AFAIK (in the UK) you are safe. If anyone is annoyed by your activities, their protest or retaliation is more likely to be of an extra-legal...
There are ups and downs to this. It does make sense if you are affiliated with the milonga and you have a real, direct influence on how people...
Interesting idea from captain jep there. I think the process of turning a painful emotion into music has a function, it expresses it in a way that...
Separate names with a comma.
