    Not even in "underground" venues? "Give me dancing or give me death!"

    Being a "ghost in a shell" is a terrible fear. Slow your roll before your shoulders fall off next? Then your shimmies look like the "Greasers" doing shoulder rolls in gang style. I see that "urgency" a lot resulting in people pushing themselves too hard and injuring instead.

    Oh these types of mistakes are terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep reminding people, slow the F down, double check your work as incorrect results = delayed treatment for those with false negatives because you did not assign the values to the correct charts!!!!!!!!!!! In the US, even for the most...

    NYS uses the app (I don't like carrying papers). John John's NYE social was a blast (no performances; majority Salsa) so when I read he was doing performances... feels bad man... Gah, I saw LVG change too :( I work in healthcare. In addition to meeting with clients, I provide supervision and...

    You will need to show your vaccination card. You can bring a screenshot of it if you have one but I just use the official NYS app which identifies it. That may be the surprise :) It takes a while for me to get back into transitioning from spectating to dancing if something interrupts my mojo...

    Perhaps :( the soles are almost new leather. The uppers I've had for 2 years. I like to have my stuff for years and condition the heck out of them: leather cleaner, conditioner, boot dressing and spit shine regularly to keep the leather protected. But maybe I should spend the 400$ on a really...

    Well this is for new people to the scene. I am noticing a greater "cycling out" of the "regulars" since COVID so now I kind of have to start from scratch.

    The night overall was great. Lots of great energy and good connection to all the follows , except one. Ug. I saw a follow who had Sabor but had their OFP. I thought it was the other leaders. I couldn't tell WTF she was dancing. I had to strong arm the sh** out of her. She had no play. Well at...

    What shoes please?

    Welcome. ^^^This. I've seen numerous instructors say dance whatever is comfortable but doesn't give too much resistance to turning (to preserve the knees and ankles) so it's surprising when I hear them say no socks. You can Google search "dance sneakers" to find something of your liking. My...

    :mad::mad::mad: Still recovering from a twisted ankle (of a while ago!). Sadly, I'm becoming more DGAF and comfortable with doing shines yet... yea. Getting more comfortable with syncopation yet... So I am now working on distracting the lack of footwork shines with upper body isolation and...

    So I already got a ticket for a NYE party fro DJ John John. Interestingly enough, he is keeping us all up to date and has changed his requirement to attend to having BOTH vaccinations (previously it was just one). They actually check at the door for proof which is nice. I noticed a 50/50 split...
