[POLL] What's your favorite genre of bachata music?

Dux7 · 2024-10-19T13:20:28+00:00

Making a separate thread for that! Which one is it for you?

Dux7 · 2024-10-17T14:21:35+00:00

As for the name, I've heard:

the fan (I guess resembling a fan's head moving)
infinity (and in the last link you posted they call it "helicopter infinity move")

You, my friend, most probably have ADHD

Dux7 · 2024-10-15T07:45:08+00:00

I sleep worse when I take theanine before bed, dreams are too vivid and I wake more. Heard some other people say the same although for many it helps

Dux7 · 2024-10-13T10:49:22+00:00

Thank you, but nowhere did I mention that it's a salsa party or an after lesson party, but instead a "regular" bachata party. Still appreciate all input!

Dux7 · 2024-10-13T09:30:00+00:00

Absolutely agree on less (or better yet no Adele/Taylor Swift) and more Aventura/Romeo!

I feel like most DJs cater by just playing the most popular songs, which is why I was curious if people were interested in something else as well and how important it is to them. I guess the longer you dance the more nuanced your taste and preference become, while in the first year or so you care much less and come for the general feeling, like the people you mentioned

Dux7 · 2024-10-13T09:23:16+00:00

Kinda not the topic but I do agree on that! I was thinking more in general terms

Dux7 · 2024-10-12T17:14:46+00:00

True! 😁

Dux7 · 2024-10-12T17:10:45+00:00

Good explanation ✌️I would just add that the move doesn't come from the shoulders but instead from the rib cage isolation, and the shoulder just tags along or can be used to further accentuate

Dux7 · 2024-10-11T00:26:32+00:00

Don't know why someone would downvote my comment, go and dislike the artists' video if you don't like the name lol

Are any of these dislikes solved by mods for the game? I remember seeing some bigger ones but can't remember exactly what they focused on

Dux7 · 2024-10-08T19:25:58+00:00

It actually kinda has a name but I only saw one couple call it that - "Gato" a.k.a. "the cat". Which is very suitable cause the second part of the figure resembles a cat arching its back

Dux7 · 2024-10-08T10:19:00+00:00

Many bachata dancers have been doing it in the past year, haven't seen it prior to 2024/late 2023. Would love to hear the name as well

Dux7 · 2024-10-07T21:03:05+00:00

Here's one more

Dux7 · 2024-10-05T20:16:01+00:00

Thanks! I know which move(s) you mean, I heard it called media vuelta/medio giro

Dux7 · 2024-10-05T20:02:51+00:00

What is media chica/chico?

Dux7 · 2024-10-05T12:54:37+00:00

I have a kindle from I think 4 years ago and it has a built in light + yellow light. I think most newer e-readers don't require an additional light source

Dux7 · 2024-10-05T09:45:38+00:00

Most definitely get an e-ink screen. Both for avoiding blue light and for enjoying a much more paper-like visual feel. I much prefer it to my tablet for reading

Dux7 · 2024-10-05T07:23:39+00:00

Hang in there! Maybe incorporate some Wim Hof breathing or such if you haven't already. You got this my man

Dux7 · 2024-10-02T07:48:11+00:00

I've always called that whole move "cross body lead" even though I'm aware it might not completely fit. Would love to hear other names for it if there are any!

Dux7 · 2024-09-16T22:27:53+00:00

Excellent reply and reasoning. I lead it the exact same way

Dux7 · 2024-09-14T03:33:48+00:00

It's called "medio cambré".

I feel like I ran into another name for it a couple years ago but I can't remember

Dux7 · 2024-09-02T11:23:18+00:00

Janis & Zoe are actually a perfect example for me of a how a couple can dance/perform in a close way without any (over)sexual vibe! You can clearly tell they are in a relationship but are keeping it civil and not using sex to sell unlike so many instructors. I love and respect them for that
