Anyone can become a ballroom dancer... if they want to, if they put in the time and effort (both physical and mental), and if they are getting the...
Aww, shucks :oops::)
I'm sure it was... that said, personally, I would not dwell on it. Your time is better spent working on your dancing - on learning to emote in...
And I think it's just as important (if not more so) to tell OP it's ok if he can't "just feel the music"... so... yeah.
Yeah, without a physical "vocabulary" from dance lessons, I definitely couldn't "feel" the music. Even if I could, I couldn't translate it into any...
IMO, it can be very frustrating to teach or work with someone who is always dwelling on things like "I CAN'T do X" and "I've NEVER been able to do X"...

Yeah, not gonna lie, I usually have to avoid the AT section of this board, let alone actual AT communities.... and mine is not a fragile dance ego...
Wondering why there is no option "e" - see if there are any female coaches of equal or better quality in the area. A new perspective is always good.
I usually watch WDC top-level events on YouTube... I've started watching WDSF events, and it seems like the two organizations are actually diverging...
I whined and moaned about our school not giving us adequate space, forcing us to beg a tiny little floor from a local church. Ugh, useless, we...
