Boring... Much better was the scene in Tango where the guy dances with two women. ;)
I'm no expert, but yeah, I've never started a bal dance with a rock step. My favored way to begin these days is to squish up to my partner, move...
Yes, you can't really lead those effectively unless you're tight to your partner. Doing a lot of balboa is good practice for that. Speaking of...
Enjoy it while you can. That kind of ratio won't last as you get older. Just thinking of an Argentine Tango class I took last month: 6 men...
Nice. Is the woman licking the spoon the same one who's dancing? She looked different to me and I noticed they never gave us a good look at...
Not weird at all. Most of the followers I know have very little idea what the leader is doing or thinking about even if they're good at...
I took an AT class from a visiting Argentinian instructor once. He had a translator, but I can understand Spanish okay. He said "lideres" and...
One time I saw this guy with the world's worst toupee walking toward a corner where 4 women were sitting (not all together). He was like Moses...
The only time someone shouldn't be allowed to drop into a class is if it will throw off the leader/follower balance too much. I wish more teachers...
Four out of five? Try five out of five for me when it comes to salsa clubs. Oh wait, Allegro's not bad so make it more like nine out of ten....
I really like Corey Harris and you all should too. :wink: He did an album with Henry Butler that, come to think of it, I haven't listened to in too...
Unfortunately, that same luminescence, under bright lights, looks washed out and sickly. I have naturally pale skin that several people have...
No way. A woman of my close acquaintance is a pale redhead. Beautiful. I went to see Forever Tango with her a few nights ago. As we walked...
Well Saturday night is not a dancer's night at any of the regular venues. In my experience what you get is a lot of women who have never done...
What planet did you just arrive from SalsaAmore? This is San Francisco. Women don't ask men to dance at salsa venues. When I go out for lindy...
Here's to topless salsa. Looks like I'll be on my way to Vienna once the weather warms up a bit.
I don't see how you can possibly explain things to the leaders in the class.
Crossbody style? I've never heard of that. Is this just another way to say NY/LA style?
Interesting article in the New York Times that I read about on Yehoodi. I've pasted the text below. The actual article has some photos....
If you go to Allegro, be forewarned that you may get funny looks when you break away. They'll think you're one of those nutty dancers from the...
