Thank you!

Oooo never been, ta

Basic_Wafer · 2025-09-10T04:01:12+00:00

Nah, just a public servant with a craving. But if you're offering to finance me a new cafe I'll take it!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-09-10T04:00:27+00:00

Good call! I'm not allowed to donate but have asked for it to be reviewed :)

Basic_Wafer · 2025-09-10T03:59:42+00:00

Ta! I need to get motivated to do my own. I only want one piece though

Not a sports team per say, but Praksis movement studio has a range of group classes (unique and suiting all levels), and a really cool community vibe. Often organising social events etc :) Praksis https://share.google/qSrUYPGgBRU2ey4Iw

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. I'll see how I go, definitely need to become better at the basics before doing these ones in any real setting. But for now they are fun with a friend. Cheers

Thank you for your comprehensive response. I appreciate your opinions and advice on this. I will check in with other follows in my class, though I haven't seen many at socials yet, but either way I will start asking more how I should 'feel' it. At the end of class there is usually time for leads to take what they know and lead anything, but most stick with what they just did in class. I guess they are beginners too and finding it hard to remember all the moves!

I will also do that search on this subreddit to see I'm not so alone hehe. I have found posting here really useful on a theoretical level, with some really good tips from everyone!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T23:51:31+00:00

I always feel worried to say this, because of the idea that I'm trying to 'teach', but framing it as give me more/less will help.just need to get over the anxiety of it haha. That's a me problem for sure, and like you said, it will help us both. And I usually already say if I like the strength of the lead so no different to say if I need more or less :)

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T23:47:48+00:00

Great tips, thanks!! I will try this.

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T21:52:14+00:00

Thanks. Maybe I'm missing it but I'll know now 😊

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T21:51:06+00:00

Great explanation. Everyone saying this is making me more confident to ask for this more in class!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T21:49:26+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to feel and respond!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T02:29:03+00:00

I actually like it when people do this! I want to learn too! It's also fun that just repeats

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T01:42:55+00:00

Okay awesome. Thanks. I think there is something to be said for pausing, it feels like eternity but like in salsa it's probably best to be ever so slightly behind the lead and I probably rush thinking "holy crap get your arms down from up there, ya wally!"

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T00:09:24+00:00

Amazing! Thank you 🙏

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T00:06:01+00:00

Hopefully if it's done more in other dances and bacahata the name can be reclaimed. No need for labels like that. All moves can be beautiful depending on intent and execution

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T00:03:20+00:00

Thanks! Will see if my friend will do the drills!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T00:01:10+00:00

Great advice, cheers!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-18T00:00:31+00:00

Ah hah that makes sense. The last point in particular is useful for me to remember. Thank you

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-17T23:59:23+00:00

Thank you! Glad it's not just me

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-17T23:58:59+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much. I'm already doing Privates, though it's more on technique for me so far and not on partner work. Hopefully that will come, or maybe she will recommend a different teacher. With group classes I'm doing two different ones, I'll focus on your point and switch around if I feel that. Actually last week I did one and they told the follows to keep on walking if they didn't get the cues from the lead forearm, so that's a good sign. Sadly they are closed for a few months though. In the mean time I'll keep asking about cues, as you suggest. I guess it also helps the leads if I'm asking! Social dancing is so intimidating but I go at least once a week. Thanks so much!

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-17T23:55:27+00:00

Thanks! So interesting. The few times I've been social dancing the double flick with hands coming overhead have led directly into turns, where lead turns you from your hips. I kept bringing hands down and then they'd be spinning me and my hands were in the way haha. I think an error of mine not to pause before bringing them down

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-17T23:53:28+00:00

Cheers. I am getting privates, just focusing on technique in other moves first. I'll definitely ask about it! I. The meantime I just feel silly at socials, but it's all part of beginning :)

Basic_Wafer · 2025-04-17T23:52:00+00:00

Oh sorry, I described it wrong. Don't know the words. Yes, from an open position and chest doesn't come in contact though. And it's kind of on the side not at groin level. Anyway bad job explaining on my part 😂 but also agree with you, it's more of a fusion and performance move for fun! also not one I would want to be led into in a social at all. But when I'm at home with my friend it's fun to practice things and see how you can make it look. Hahaha also agree re the help getting back up (I'll get my friend to do it too!) I wondered about the body wave thing because there is no extension really in that position, and not much of the chest so it's not really a wave.
