Interesting... I've never had followers tell me stuff like that except for one partner I've danced with for a while. This is where having a solid frame is essential; something I still work on developing. Force I've experienced comes more when you are moving in separate components (arms, legs...

With partner dancing, continued connection is harder to practice alone and maintain due to a myridad of factors (skill & musicality are the two I see most impacting connection). Being paired up with a lower skilled person in martial arts isn't as problematic for both parties; usually the lower...

It absolutely is possible. However, it does depend on the song. I usually dance to melodies that "call" to me but sometimes there is a section where it goes haywire. It's not as though I am enunciating; usually just parted lips with minimal movement. If I am totally f'd and counting out loud...

I was at a social 2 weeks ago where I apologized for mouthing the timing when I found myself getting lost. One absolute beginner asked that I continue. The rest.. well.... they were "polite." I learned to never start by counting out loud (until I'm totally f'd: Dura); only way to save myself at...

From that angle, it looked like a choke defense exercise not "dancing." My first reaction to seeing that for a blink was "why are we posting self-defense stuff on SF? My second reaction was "she's doing the technique incorrectly." Then I read the full thing and thought "wtf..."

: They weren't very good at connecting. : What did they say? : I don't know, they just stared at me without saying anything,was creepy. Then suddenly they responded; seemed out of it. Maybe they just didn't want to dance with me. : I couldn't dance with them; they were on an Apple so our...

Agreed. In all the years, I'd say it happens only once a year...

Yes. There are places in NyC but they're are super rare.

Went to a social On1 in NYC for shzz n giggles and wow! I could not do on1. It started to hurt and my musicality can no longer feel the joy on1. It still feel rushed. On2 just feels natural....

Unless you are running away from a rabid/starving animal. : "Where are you running?" : "Nowhere in particular" : "..."

Of course depending on the content (way the feedback / "criticism") is provided make the "information useful or not. As mentioned, vague stuff is overall useless: ("it's not good; could be better; you don't know what you are doing; don't put the hand in her face; you have to do it faster, etc...

Salsamania did have Cha Cha Cha. BTW check your PM.

Check your PM.

So far everyone does shines but one guy who seems to be dancing more Sensual ..

Well they are doing a Bachata class right now so we will have to wait...

I will try but may bring back poor data :(. Oddly enough, I used to do home visits to patients in there but never knew about the Salsa in there!

It's cool that they are using and electric upright base

I plan to be there. It's pretty close tp me so it's actually one of the most convenient locations for me to go dancing :)
