Hey team,

Happy to share ecstasy. I just had a MAJOR breakthrough at the Sydney salsa congress. Not sure where from or why, but I went from not being able to dance a step in New York to dancing on2 and LOVING it. Having great fun dances.

I even followed 5 songs in a row (thanks Jag75 for leading me (VERY nice clear lead) who made me look so good that some girls asked me to follow them).

Anyway, to those struggling at the moment or in the future (including me), please keep hopeful and working, you will get there and past your limits. My journey has been like a slingshot. If you imagine a person in a slingshot (not sure why a person would be in a slingshot but work with me here ha ha), the person would feel they are going backwards at first but then zoom! Progress beyond belief. And the analogy works for me better than 1 step backwards/2 steps forward because the further back/harder the plateau is, the further you go/develop when you have that breakthrough.

In closing, GO TEAM :) :) :)
 
Hey, smiling28, congrats on slingshotting your way through the On2 barrier! Glad to hear it. :D

I still have trouble "feeling" the music when I try to dance Salsa On2, so I've tended to ignore opportunities to develop that part of my dancing (not really a problem with Chachacha, though). However, I promised myself that I would try to practice it more often with some of the local Salseras who like dancing On2. Luckily I know a few who wouldn't mind indulging me every once in awhile. ;)
 
Thanks for the compliment re my lead smiling!!! Mate to be honest you're following is brilliant - I had more fun dancing with you than a huge number of the women I danced with! Your On2 felt really good - absolutely no lagging feeling which was very nice indeed :)

Good to see you at the congress (and pumphouse!) and look forward to seeing you again on da dancefloor 8)
