    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    That came put. ATad more aggressive than intentes. Frustrating work day. on an aside I also believe it is my kinetic changing order out of whack (I suspect that I am moving my torso to early whichnis un centering me. Also perhaps pushing my upper torso movements to their maximum range. Some...

    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    But still appreciate the detailed reposnse. However I do donall of that. Perhaps hownj articulate the description is not what works for me. And I most certainly use my back, not my shoulder.

    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    I don't like Franklin duaz aesthetic,. Effeminate as well, and not my cup of tea with his confusing technical profundity. FYI it's my hip that are the issue, which I suspect is weak stabilizers, as well as how deep i step into the ground and as stated, i want almost zero hip sway.. Also your...

    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    I'll let my teachers who live and grew up where the dance was created and oliver Pineda that they are wrong ;P. To me that whole statement was just semantics. You use your shoulder nodes, the shoulders roll. You roll your shoukders. Some do, and some don't. Most of my teacher ( cbaan onez)...

    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    I'm reviving this briefly as I havd been obsessed with trying to have the basic I want: more masculine and street vs performance team/congress. Tl;Dr, I find that "rolling forward" has produced a squarer frame, more masculine and broad. Rolling back seems to be a bit slithery and feminine on...

    Song with semi-clave ?

    I enjoyed the harmonies greatly. I bopper along to different clave strikes. Felt the most intuitive with guaguancó clave most of time rather than Son (arguably actually Yambu) clave. Not sure if it is because I consume timba vs salsa when not dancing. I don't hear semi clave, or maybe I don't...

    My salsa in Japan Youtube Channel

    The TL;DR: I look forward to watching more videos. Once upon a time I tried to force myself to learn on 2 (the et2 timing), convincing myself that it was the only way ro be considered advanced and it was the next logical.step, but I don't find it any more musical, and I don't think it fits my...

    My salsa in Japan Youtube Channel

    I just peeped a video with rueda. What is your preferred style? Mine is cuban but I am in a linear dominated scene. So my goal, which I'm failing at, is to have a more masculine cuban aesthetic, even when dancing linear.

    He has stated since the 80s that the u.s should just go to war with Iran, with a Smirk on his face. No wonder there was an attempt.

    What is something you wish Latin DJS would do more?

    I'm. O superstar, but I was about to lament that alot of the cuban dancers in a couple scenes only learned the rueda way to dance cuban (I call "salsa en Banana) so almost fixed structure and present moves. They only learn so far tge. Stop going. And they sy they dance cuban, but when you try...

    What is something you wish Latin DJS would do more?

    I can only assume they play the same 2 songs over and over again for timba. And periodically "me dicen cuba" when they aren't cuban and there is no cuban in sight.

    Adjusting as a lead and musicality

    It is good to know as a lead that when/if I get good I do not need to adjust to my follow. Thank God.

    Using Hip Leads in Salsa

    I'll never chin lead. I'm to clumsy and don't trust myself. I frequently do the basket, lasso or around the world depending on where you live (cbl turn into check, passing in front of follow across the path and finishing with usually cbl turn). With the hips. Some dot like because of my arm...

    Using Hip Leads in Salsa

    Depends on ypur follow, ypur social status, how you touch when leading it, your anatomy on regards to theirs and if they find you attractive, which may or may not be tied to your social status. It depends I guess. I have a regular dance partner who loves when I hip lead her, and also enjoys...
