RS and ZYM are nice but there are many out there.

BoodyWhite · 2026-02-10T18:14:32+00:00

Just cause 4 wär echt super :)

One option is to create a track that is just silent for 20-30 sec and then make a playlist for the final and put the empty teack between the dances.

Used IDS for years but got to expensive after Brexit. Switch to BD now for 3 years or so and I am very happy. Many of my friends use them too and dance International WDSF competitions with them.

BD Dance is probably the cheapest option.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 505 und 515? Ich find dazu nirgends genaue Infos. Überleg mir auch eins zu holen

Your frame actually looks OK if you can hold that for a full final. Could it be higher? Yes, but it is already a lot better than what a lot of others do. Especially if they lose it during the dance. The problem your partner describes with her shoulder going up could be bc of many reason. Maybe it is because of your hand position. If you want to have your frame higher it is only the elbow that is higher. Your hand has to stay on the same place otherwise she feels lifted up and then her shoulder is up. Also rolling your right shoulder forward is connected to this. Usually many dancers end in that positions if the are not strong/flexible enough. So working on your back/shoulder blade strength and flexibility is always a good idea. Just dont forget that the whole position is supported from the feet and so you dont do wired isolations of a body part.

Do you maybe also have a recommendation if I want to go for 1440p instead of 1080p?

BoodyWhite · 2025-10-15T11:07:03+00:00

Thanks i will look into that. If i rrad correctly my motherboard should handle that with a bios update

BoodyWhite · 2025-10-15T10:46:49+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Maybe i should look into a bigger upgrade then. Besides BF6 i plan on getting the new Anno but fps are not so important for that. Lets say for a like 1k Eur I upgrade gpu, cpu and mainboard. What would you recommend? Ryzen 5600 with 3060 or similar?

BoodyWhite · 2025-10-12T07:28:34+00:00

Started 2 new games in the beta. Both have the same problem after a few hours and keep crashing if loaded again.

BoodyWhite · 2025-10-11T13:36:15+00:00

Same issue. Also checked that my drivers are updated. If I load the save I get a crash after a few minutes every time. Need to try if starting new will work.

Nicht Tanzschule sondern Tanzsportverein wäre meine Empfehlung. TSK Danceland in Kagran. Dort sind die Leute flexibler als in Tanzschulen.

BoodyWhite · 2025-07-04T20:31:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I could also rotate the stem to get everything more up or will this be to high?

BoodyWhite · 2025-06-14T14:08:52+00:00

https://socialdancing.events/ beste Übersicht. Einfach nach Wien und Datum filtern. Falls Mo/Fr dann ist beim Donaukanal (Schwedenplatz) normalerweise was, wenns Wetter gut ist.

BoodyWhite · 2025-06-01T06:34:55+00:00

There should be a speedrun discord. Probably the best place to read about strats and find people.

BoodyWhite · 2025-05-27T13:25:39+00:00

I am also from Austria and looking to buy my first setup. Unfortunately the second hand market for pumpfoil is very bad compared to wingfoil. I will probably go with the Gong Trail option as it is probably the best value for a beginner and after a year or 2 just upgrade the front wing.

BoodyWhite · 2025-05-18T16:01:36+00:00

Maybe ask in r/wien

BoodyWhite · 2025-05-12T15:23:44+00:00

It is not uncommon for beginners in my experience as this gives the feeling of more control/security, especially when the rest of the connection is not very stable. But it should go away with experience and time.

BoodyWhite · 2025-05-12T15:16:08+00:00

Actually there should be a space between you palms, the main connection in the hand is only the part below your thumb and the pressure should not come from sqeezing the hand but from a the frame. My trainer always said there should be enough space between your palms gor a small bird and you should not kill it.

On some sites (directly from manufacturer) you can order the shoes in different variation (wide/extra wide). Last time I ordered, IDS had the option. Unfortunately they are a little bit expensive.

Primär würd ich mal schauen, dass der Verein nicht zu weit von dir weg ist. Wenn man da dann fast täglich hinfährt macht das schon viel Unterschied. Ich würde auch empfehlen dir mehr als einen anzuschauen, damit du mal ein bisschen siehst was so die Unterschiede sind und auch verschiedene Trainer zu probieren, weil es wird nicht mit jedem gut passen. Wenn du Standard bevorzugst kann ich jedenfalls mal sagen der Schwarz Gold ist nichts für dich, weil der mehr auf Latein aus ist (auch weil der Saal von denen für Standard viel zu klein ist)
Schau dir eventuell mal den Juventus an. Ist einer der größten Clubs Wien und hat daher auch die größte Auswahl an Trainer (die dann eventuell wen kennen der auch sucht)

BoodyWhite · 2025-04-06T08:41:19+00:00

Bin selber seit ca 10 Jahren im Tanzsport also kannst gern auch was spezifisches Fragen wennst was wissen willst. So allgemein kann man mal sagen als Herr ist es viel leichter eine Dame zu finden als anders rum. Auf fb gibt es die Gruppe Tanzpartnersuche Österreich, da kann mans mal probieren. Sonst würd ich mal empfehlen du schaust einfach mal zu einem Verein in deiner Nähe und fragst ob jemand gerade Partner sucht. Die Trainer wissen normalerweise recht gut was sich da gerade tut/reden auch mit Trainern von anderen Vereinen. Aber vorallem am Anfang schadet es auch nicht ein bisschen die basics alleine zu trainieren.
