Ah, this is cool!
I was just looking for something like this for my own forum. I wanted to come up with some good rank titles related to Latin/Salsa dancing. Maybe something a bit simpler, though. Many of these terms are not familiar to me :( :oops:.

[peachexploration]

Hi SW. :D The first five have to do with Salsa Music itself. You can read about them here :arrow: Salsa Music Dictionary (http://www.salsaforums.com/showthread.php?t=147)

[SalsaWinnipeg]

Thanks, peach. I've seen the Music Dictionary. What I meant, I guess, is that those terms were not familiar to me before I saw the post :).

[peachexploration]

Okay, gotcha. ;)

Captain Of The Style :D

[Pedro El Cubanito]

Well wicked, if it's a translation you're talking about, it means something like " Captain of style" or "Stlyle Captain" if you prefer. Although this might have a more subjective translation or meaning, i think!

[salseralon]

Well done you guys... but watch your backs im gonna catch up hehe :P

[Jones, Nikka]

Does anyone know if we can choose our own titles?

After all the number of posts is already indicated below the avatars and it would be cool (and informative) if each poster could give a hint of her/his own view of themselves. We already have our Handles/tags but they aren't really about our dancing.

Some suggestions for titles:

Guaguanco Priestess
Beginner dancer
Shines student
On2 apprentice
Perennial student
Rueda Master
Hoplessly lost
Cool dude
Instructor's assistant
Hot dancer
Newly-minted Salsa Diva
New York stylist
LA style freak
Rookie Teacher

These could be invented or edited at will by each poster and they would change as we evolve as dancers, not by the amount of posts we make.
By the way, I do understand that the current ranking system is set up to encourage participation, but let's face it, those who post here do it because of other reasons than reaching a title, I think.

[pr]

Does anyone know if we can choose our own titles?
No, we can't... Only the administrators can set personal titles for users...

[peachexploration]

Does anyone know if we can choose our own titles?
No, we can't... Only the administrators can set personal titles for users...Right, titles are already preset and we do not set "personal" titles. Nikka, you can always include your own title if you desire, somewhere in your profile i.e., signature line, avatar, occupation or anywhere that can be edited by the individual member.

[Jones, Nikka]

...titles are already preset and we do not set "personal" titles. Nikka, you can always include your own title if you desire, somewhere in your profile i.e., signature line, avatar, occupation or anywhere that can be edited by the individual member.

OK thanks.
I just thought it kind of funny to have the title Son, which of course is a type of cuban music. It is just that here in Montreal we speak french, and in this language, son means bran. As in raisin bran muffins.

WOW! I am breakfast!

[peachexploration]

I see. The following has to do with Salsa in it's early form, origin and roots which is African and Cuban.

I gotta say this is pretty awesome! I knew all but changui but then again I'm what I suppose you could call a Salsa Geek, or at least a Latin Music Geek - if you read my questions they're all about the music; its influences, instrumentation, rhythmis patterns etc. The dance doesn't interest me much, so these names are just too great to not find out about. Stuff like "son" and "tumbao" is pretty basic to me but when u get in2 "pattern police" and "clave commander" that's just straight-up awesome! Thanks for letting me know what the rankings are.

Thanks,
"El Conguero"

PS - El sabroso de conguero ---> Already there, just gotta make the posts match lol :D
