US (East Coast) I agree. That's why I don't agree with the assertion made in this thread that beginner follows generally have their pick of leads at a social -- much less an advanced one. It's not what I have seen play out on the dance floor. The sad part, to me, is the beginner leads...

It's interesting that so many leads in this thread have encountered follows who have difficulty following. According to many in this thread, an advanced leader can lead a beginner (which would include one who has not been exposed to many different timings) through anything. So, were the leads...

I agree with DJ Yuca that if the term "bachata" is used it needs a qualifier, such as "sensual," to distinguish it from the original. "Latin dance" works for me. It's general enough to encompass the mash-up of zouk and the bachata basic that sensual bachata appears to be to me.

It is on the account for his academy: @rodrigoasya.rcacademy. You have to scroll down a bit to find it. There is also a recent interview with Frankie Martinez that was interesting as well!

A little while ago Rodrigo Cortazar interviewed Tito Ortos on his instagram dance school channel. The topic of the interview was competitions and Tito gave some opinions about the use of orishas in competition routines. I understood him to stay that the movements, if used, should be in response...

I totally agree! Yesterday, I was looking at class offerings in my scene. One of the local schools just finished an eight-week progressive series for beginners. The next session -- and the only class available at this school-- is for advanced beginners; so, it is clear that this course is aimed...

Does anybody have an reviews of Congresses that they have attended recently -- especially if they were in the US?

I agree that learning anything new is difficult. I just am not sure why there has to be a comparison as to who has it harder. However, if we are going to make one, I don't necessarily agree that women have it easier. I'll just be controversial and say that instead of having it easier, women are...

I definitely read the whole thread. And, from what I read, not everyone in the thread is speaking out against what happened. One person said it didn't involve him, his country or its problems. Another person brought up Floyd's alleged criminal past and drug use, but did not address how this...

Some of these replies are so disheartening. George Floyd is not dead because he was a "criminal" or "high" or "resisting arrest." He is dead because an on-duty police officer murdered him in cold blood in front of witnesses. To try to denigrate George Floyd's reputation and paint the...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I have lurked for a long time. ;) I understood the OP to say that he and his girlfriend began social dancing together when they both had other romantic partners. As such, it seems to me that OP would have known that his girlfriend social dances with men who are...

I don't think the issue is with your girlfriend's behavior. Before you dated her, you knew that she liked to social dance while in a relationship. If you disliked the way that she handled herself on the dance floor, I doubt that you would have ended up dating her. I think the issue may be your...
