    Salsa open diary

    I generally hate old tinny virtuosic songs with lots of breaks, super fast mambo or Colombian. So I am happy with lots of timba and mid tempo or spritely.

    Salsa open diary

    Hilariously I just got back from an event in a big town, and my friend and I commented on how much we love the mud tempo music now. We fel fast salsa are for self indulgent wankers.

    Going 'off timing' or just dancing musically?

    I like interpreting melody. I'm not good at it, but i prefer it.

    What would it take for salsa to have a revival?

    I have seen an uptick in the 20 year Olds peeping out the street salsa night in town. The 1 time I'll accept a song I don't like as it has helped generate interest (and it is far from offensive like, say.... I love Salsa, or the macarena salsa remix, or any crappy pop salsa).

    He threatened to bomb and take o er the country,and told them the delegates they won't even make it back to their country. But hey. At least the economy is better. And he had a better showing than Kamala. Color me still undecided.

    Mambo Bergen social dance

    Could be sampled horns. I use Reason and all but 1 horn sample sounds llike a fake toy. I can mitigate it with an insane amount of fx chaining, but only slightly.

    Going 'off timing' or just dancing musically?

    Tbh I wasn't offended by it. Well other than his blurb, it looked like a guy dancing to the music. Though the music was low so I couldn't tell how he was accenting.

    Going 'off timing' or just dancing musically?

    After taking several weeks of classnin cuba, I can say it isn't new. Cubans have been doing ghit for ever. In Son (since the 40s), the leader will take 2 steps instead of 3 so as to be on the ladies timing and then take 5 continously steps to get back on leader timing. Or pausing to pose while...

    Overcoming Dancing Jealousy ...(come on shouldn't I be too old for this??)

    Even though I used to be. Aman ***** (for free) I never grinded with gals on the floor in my clubbing days. So naturally sensual doesn't draw mw in. And if my nonn dancing life part ef showed up during a sensual dance, evennif it was just a dance, she would feel real insecure. So I opted not...

    My obsession with minimum hips for men in salsa

    I have good chest and almost good shoulders. Teach me less hios lol

    Basic step: shoulders rotating backwards or forwards?

    I'm not asking. I'm observing. This thread is several years old. And I felt like resurrecting it. And frankly the teachers I have asked have given vague answers or I truly think they arent good at diagnosing other people. Or they live-in cuba and have no phone atm, and j don't want to waste...

    What is this move? What is this kind of salsa?

    It works with anyone who dances bachatenot the younger crowd, but my belief is that it isn't a CLASSIC casino move. Juat like newer or slightly younger dancers, if I try to lead pasea de Olas, it goes tits up.
