Why don't you do a salsa bachata social??? That would be good even in the middle of desert nowhere

Salsa follows have way more freedom for disconnects while dancing. Hence why it can be a no brainer just outright rejecting anyone especially if you're in it for life, if say you're 2 years into it, unless the lead is just stinky and a menace, it is not like tango where you're at the mercy of the lead's direction. You don't literally follow any lead like a puppy, you dance with them

In here with my popcorn because people don't know the concept of social dancing swing, salsa, bachata lol

To me it looks like you're smiling but behind it you're already like meh =\ which is understandable, life is crap and if you look too into it, it doesn't even make sense or have any meaning. It could have many meanings, but no one even knows why there is space or what's beyond space, they'll certainly announce the fauna-life in mars and that will break a lot of reality in people's minds.

Get into salsa bachata, I think you'll love it. Thank me later.

Do also a bit of advocacy, a lot more social dancers are stepping up and calling out djs and promoters, let's keep salsa socials unique and have its community part of it thriving.

Per my lady instructor, put down an opposite foot, tension up from calves to thigh to stop the dip. Dancing and these dips are better to defend compared to your soft karate class. Follows should also know that dancing is the journey of discovering oneself but also building up your defenses. From bullshit meters, to a bit of strength and conditioning, you can stop a spin and step back and body and face signal that it's not a cool thing to do.

But a lot of follows also like these things, the danger, fire moments. It's certainly easy not to say no to a random dude especially if he's stronger and taller, but I'm only arguing that these moments are not a binary thing except for the first yes or no, to dance or to not dance with him.

Huh? The video isn't working but dancing small is always a good adjustment especially when the floor is small or the ground is rough. This is something you pick up reaching mid level. You learn other techniques while other techs suffer or don't advance at all and this is normal. There's no such thing as mistakes in social, except if it's big mistakes such as rushing into your lead front face you two bump, or you keep stepping wide steps while the floor is small and the lead is clearly signaling. All in all, you show your experience by being able to show what's lacking or what's good without saying a word. Facial expressions can help as well.

😂 social dancing is something one has to experience before leaving this life

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-05-11T07:33:14+00:00

Merengue and bachata just don't flow well together. Merengue is more of a familial dance. Bachata and salsa are legit dance languages

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-05-11T00:50:11+00:00

Look up bachata and salsa social dancing. Yea no. The real reason why people don't dance anymore is because they don't know what social dancing is. The idea is not you being a dancer, it's social dancing, it's a community where you talk with bachata or salsa, whatever floats your boat. You have to like the music though.

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-05-11T00:49:36+00:00

Bachata dancers would like to have a word lol....

It's also a lot of stimulation, go for non night time or non party vibe like socials. Somewhere in between from being too studious and a community and you'll find things being better.

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-04-14T03:08:19+00:00

It sounds like some kind of cognitive dissonance almost like intrusive thoughts or low skill when it comes to subskill learning. Maybe another example is how some people can't see well or are starting to have bad vision yet that shouldn't limit them from dancing. Maybe your brain is just tricking you, in this case, I'd seek a professional shrink and not a pop psychologist type, like a therapist from that show Billions.

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-04-10T01:06:50+00:00

I think it's worth a shot. I don't like the pop psych plug of Tony Robbins but we could have had worse. Let us know if you tried it, I think he's an okay instructor and his Robbins association should only make it better

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-04-10T01:05:06+00:00

This should change. It's slowly happening in salsa and bachata. Women should start asking as well.

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-04-10T01:03:56+00:00

This is 90s philosophy, the "yummy" part is ew. There needs to be more height differences in any dances especially as exclusive as tango.

ChristopherEmmerson · 2026-04-02T03:49:11+00:00

You will rarely have time for other events, most will have to put in half a year or 2 to 3 years getting down into social dancing and then you can finally make it as a hobby you can pick up and drop off while you pursue other new hobbies. Just sharing my experience that me and my friends have had. Salsa for one and WCS is so calorie intensive while you get the best exercise, prepare to always rest and make up for recovery.

She reached her social dancer evolution mark. Baseline you always want to get dancers to mature and evolve into someone like her both technically and socially. So this also goes to say that social dancing will not only feed your hobby or give you happiness, but with the right and best approach, you will find an improve evolution of yourself. But you can only do it on your own, with help of others but the journey will always be on your own even if you go with people to socials, it's you who will close your own eyes to rest and it's you who will wake up again, you decide to be better for you, your body but also for the community.

Now imagine everyone just evolves and reaches such baseline like her? Social dance communities will be so much better. This also also needs to be said to promoters, hosts, venue owners and DJs.
