Since I started dancing I lived in 5 different cities. Sometimes also increasing my daily travel to other major cities, thus having had 8 relevant agglomerations as my "daily dance area" so far. Some areas had dance calendars, other hadn't. Specially the 3 choices since 2020 don't have. And...

(For sure has been discussed elsewhere, but I don't find it.) My knees and ankles are hurting from some sticky floor right now. And the girls for sure are MUCH worse off than me. I am not new to the game, so I have my remedies, but I would like to know if someone knows better. My remedies: -...

... or are they general and lacking them simply means you lack skill? So, the story: I was originally a Salsa dancer, but as my dance style got smoother and smoother I drifted into Zouk. And there of course into the smoothest corner, too. I still enjoy dancing Salsa and Bachata, given the...

The situation: It's a weekday evening. I show up at the party, which will last for another 90 minutes (before it changes to Reggeaton). Chances are high, that there isn't a single exceptional dancer. Most likely a bunch of older long time mid level dancers - many of whom I dance with regularly...

For me, shine patterns are a presentation of solo dance skill outside of the partner dance interaction. The focus of the dancer is on himself, the partner is distanced, more of a spectator, than a partner. There still can be interactions like call and answer, but they differ from physically...

Hi, during the last years i have myself worked out from being a shy beginner to have no real trouble, finding women on the party for a dance. But during that time i had a lot of time watching the people and i am seeing a huge difference, from what people write here in the forum and what the...
