Where are all these Amazonian women? I guess I'm lucky in NYC :P

Being willing to learn is nothing to apologize for. If you focus on developing good habits through correct fundamentals (including going with the flow), then there is much less risk of "doing something wrong" mentality; simply work on replicating what was "right." He is not likely saying you...

This is where the it gets "complicated" as there are a few things going on. Learning the structure of patterns is good in the beginning (to get your core fundamentals; all complex moves are only effective with great fundamentals) which is what the instructor (should) instill into you as being...

First off, welcome! Unfortunately, I can only give general suggestions as I don't dance Cuban. But I will simply repeat and expand on what everyone here suggests. I found leading and following challenging in their respective ways with both new and seasoned dancers. I will try to keep my...

You need to train voice to text better. The more time you train it the more accurate it becomes!

People do behave differently when they know they are being watched; behavior increases exponentially as "more eyes are watching."

For "partner" dancing (my definition two + people are physically connected while moving to the music) , we need some "order/structure." Otherwise, it's just shine dancing with someone. People are going to naturally move to the music but that expression will be different for everyone. Even Jazz...

Look at the following schedules: - Monday's at Taj - Anything held by DJ John John. I like his socials the best now. Eventbrite actually lists upcoming or immediate events (both free and fee-based).

I let the feel of the tumbao (but melody at times) resonate through my body and act as my time keeper and counter. Trying to do 1-8 always messes me up and my flow. What if I don't want to follow those rules! Sometims

Went to a Social today. All Dura. But the duration of the Bachata was painful. I started to nod off on the 4th consecutive Bachata song...Luckily it was not BS but still.....

Well you know what they say about liquor, the truth elixir. Yuck, drunk partners...

An awake drunk is all we need on the dancefloor...

She wanted to mark you all for herself. Like a brand
