Hahahahahah. Ooops. Meditation. Though, perhaps we could work with the referee idea too...;)
I can totally relate as well and I think this is very common. For me personally, mediation has helped me with these kinds of problems. It's not...
I'm in Italy too and agree with arslanz that "salida Americana" is very commonly used for the step he/she describes. Surprised to learn the step...
I have a pair of Nuova Epocas and I'm very happy with both comfort and looks.
Ah, yes. I have a friend who dabbles in AT very rarely, but is a childhood friend of a really good dancer/teacher. He's always trying to introduce me...
Yeah, been there. And even though I now dance as much as I want/am able to most of the time, I still get those nights occasionally. Milonga's Law:...
Hmmm, I think that when teachers consistently present AT as a social dance and emphasize the joy to be had that way, lead by example, point out...
I agree with OP: No forbidden steps. BUT the teacher gives the The Lecture on when to do them and when NOT to them. I'm sure you do this, but not...
If with "mediocre" means "I will never be a truly great dancer, but I still enjoy dancing and improving as best as I can", then I agree. Also if this...
I've been played music quite intensively, for a long time. My feelings are similar to Peaches'. I have no real discipline but quite a big obessesive...
If your work is like that then perhaps you should look for another job. I'm serious. Life's too short to spend the larger part of your day suffering....
Wow - in the last milonga the DJ put on this vals, in this version, and then asked me to dance to it. Yay for psychic DJs. (Even if I didn't...
And yes, I *should* and will ask the DJ. But I'm a bit shy and also, I got home last night thinking Must Have This Vals Now Now Now....;)
Thanks a lot, I found it. It actually was Flores del Alma, but in a different version from the more traditional one. I can't post links yet, but if...
I competely admit I'm way too ignorant about the music, but I'm trying to rectify that. I'm looking for the name of a waltz which I really love. It...
Notwithstanding my rant upthread, I do too. Needless to say the idea that one doesn't need to be Argentine to be a good teacher serves the guys...
I agree with two things in the article: 1. Copying/memorising steps is not sufficient and 2. You don't need to be Argentine to be a good teacher....
Went to a venue where I'm usually disappointed. Got asked by a great dancer. Don't know where he came from, don't know why he asked me but :) :) :).
I think what Paula said does hold true some of the time but, I have also found out that some very decent souls were hesitant to ask me (early...
Being filmed doesn't really bother me - I sometimes attend an outdoor milonga in Venice and it's a pretty regular occurrence there. The problem is...
