    Metatarsal pads for shoes

    It's been a while since I danced (March 2024) d/t left metatarsalgia. However, I hope to go try Salsa once for NYE.

    On1 v On2 in Arizona

    I have been trying to search but having limited luck in finding the thread regarding On1 vs On2 locations. For a friend of mine, do they dance on 1 or On2 in Arizona. I was watching a bunch of YT vids for classes and general socials but not totally certain. I thought I noticed more On2 but saw...

    Salsa On2 in Philly?

    There was a post almost 10 years ago here but that's a long time ago. I've been looking online but still wondering if anyone here knows whether there are any regular places where people mainly dance On2? I'm taking a weekend trip from NYC but not sure if Philly is still mainly On1. If so, I'll...

    They seem to clap on the 2-4-6-8. It's most pronounced starting at 2:50. I'm used to hitting on the odd count (even playing jazz).

    Shoes that don't scratch the floor?

    So I'm looking to get studio space to practice but all the places require non scuff ("no outdoor") shoes. I wanted people's thoughts. I have a pair of Bloch but they are leather sole which can scratch. Suggestions? This would only be for practice. I think suede soles don't scuff? I want to...

    Douche DJs

    So there is a DJ who has been holding outdoor social in Central Park for a few months. Got pretty popular. Then 2 DJs come in the same space and semi drowns out the original DJ. It becomes a slight competition whereby they have to raise their own volume. Mind you these other 2 DJs don't get any...

    Salsa in Colorado??

    So I'm thinking of going on a trip to Colorado (after COVID) in the fall season (hopefully next year) and wanted to get people's feeling on a nice low key place to dance On2. I would actually coordinate my trip to coincide with a few nights of dancing. I hear Denver but I'm also using the trip...

So, I was wondering if people had any ideas on a good simple VST to make some tunes. I've done strictly engineering and...

    Movies

    I find watching American cinema painfully unoriginal after the writers guild strike. Find it unjustified to go see movies in the theater. I watch them when they might show up. Something silly to offset the serious stuff. Saw hoodwinked and found it strangely very entertaining. What movies have...

    How do you start the dance?

    So I've been taught and it's still somewhat stuck in the back of my head on how to start dancing when the music comes on. All of my instructors have said I should always start slow and do the basics to feel out the follower. Lately I've changed to the tone of who gives a F. Many times I like to...
