    It's ok to voice your opinion, it's just how it's communicated ;) (and if your coach is willing to listen).

    Well, lima beans aren't going to kill me either, but that doesn't mean I have to eat them. And if they're on the list of what comes with my filet, I'll ask for a substitution, thank you very much! :argue:

    Mine are done in shadow, so I'm not knockin' any opportunity to have a good looking guy at my back... *grin*

    Hummm, you're making it sound more fun now!
  15. latingal Moderator

    you know the old saying, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! and in this case, it's not much of an effort. *grin*

    Yes, corta jacas are much more fun in shadow position. And I love voltas...pretty much everything in samba. Chicken walks in jive got better for me after the fabulous Kristina Staykova showed me they should be all about T&A. However, much of the rest of the jive syllabus, ugh. And ditto for a lot of paso syllabus.

    paso syllabus is pretty awful; and I do agree, if I have to do corta jacas, shadow position is it for me.

    As I am not good at them, they are my least favorite, but I am sure that once I get them under the belt they would be fun, we have them in a samba routine and when DP & I do them they look stilted.

    But on the professional front, If my instructor thinks I could handle the steps then I will do them whether they are a favorite or not, as the whole point (to me) is to be challenged.
