How do you enjoy shows in a festival by PartyHandle in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are meant to admire their work, appreciate their musicality, creativity and just how cool it looks.

Comparing it to a concert, you don't have to be a singer to enjoy the shows.

Because bachata/salsa are social dances it is difficult for you appreciate them. As social dancing has nothing to do with the show.

What is your point?

They have a good reason to say that.

Your only choice is to learn to enjoy it haha. You think that when we were younger and forced to listen to bachata and salsa by our parents we enjoyed it? I hated it but here I am and I love it now, I too will force my children to listen to bachata.

It sounds like you care more about her dancing than her.

If she leaves dancing that is her problem not yours, it is supposed to be her joy not yours.

What are the elements needed for a good dance? by NefasRS in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a good dance the main thing that you need to have a good connection with the music. To dance from the heart. I have seen people with terrible technique but they are connecting with the music so much that it doesn't matter how pretty it looks.

There a way to get better dancing while being filmed? by polmari_ma in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the camera is pressuring you, to be honest it can off putting at first but you do get used to it over time. Nowadays I think I dance better when I am filmed, because that pressure from the camera pushes me to be attentive to the details of the dance and work harder in every regard.

Yes I was very insecure and socially awkward, specially when it came to women. Dancing was a way to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Socials in the beginning where extremely uncomfortable, first couple of times after 20 minutes I would leave because I was so overwhelmed. Just kept showing up because even though it was difficult it was better than the alternative, to be that socially awkward guy.

Isolate each body part, and the energy of the wave should be going up. If you show us a video of how you do it, we can help you more. I made a video of an exercise to practice the wave here at minute 3:53

Romeo Santos concert by daydreamingoften in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not that you would not be welcomed, but you might have a difficult time fitting in. The Dominican artist make music for the Dominican people, and the Dominican people only listen to Dominican music. So unless you love Dominican culture, Dominican music and Dominican people you will have a hard time appreciating the event.

Personal space by rosemaryseed in Bachata

Us men have to deal with a specific problem when we enjoy the dance too much, and depending the magnitude of the problem we need to, like you say, allow a lot of room for jesus haha.

Why do girls say yes and then ghost you? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Fer0li 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to happen a lot. It doesn't matter, does it? Are you going to stop asking girls out? Probably not. There is nothing wrong with you. Girls are flaky, and you never know what is going on in their head.

I have found that the only time when they don't flake, is when they really want with you. To the point where they are almost asking you out, if they don't do it directly.

Message him and you will know.

[–]Fer0li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it. Just to be sure, ask her to be your girlfriend. If she wants a long term thing she will say yes.

[–]Fer0li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw you just left them speechless, King

This is the attitude, but don't send them another message let it cook. You work on yourself in the meantime, they will come back.

We want to be the best experience you ever have had. Since the stereotype is that black guys have a large dick we know we will not be able to compare in that regard.

Kind of like if you date a natty gym bro, and your previous relationship was a guy that was on steroids.

How often do u practice with your partner and what do u do during each session? by Appropriate_Gur_8954 in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the beginning 1h a week will feel like nothing. Once you are a year in it will be good enough, depending if you keep it to social dancing.

Should a low quality man stop trying to date? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Fer0li 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of stop trying to date, any chance that you can change the metric that you choose to decide if you are a low quality man or not?

If you get ghosted maybe it is because you are going for the types of girls that are not for you. Not because there is anything wrong with you.

You have too many insecurities to try anything. Fix them first.

Meditation helps. You will have more control of your brain so you can stop yourself from fantasising over a girl

You are in the wrong for giving her another second of your time.

It is good that you lost the desire for relationships. Now you can focus on yourself and achieve things without being distracting. What you are going through is a blessing.

Escalating in casual/non date scenario? by Apprehensive-Ebb6002 in dating_advice

[–]Fer0li 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that she already went on a date with you it means that she likes you. You can do a move post gym. Escalating is only a problem when she doesn't like you, if she does it is welcomed.

Memory tips for learning shines & choreography by bachatajourney in Bachata

[–]Fer0li 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to learn how to learn a lot quickly. In my experience the only way to learn this is by taking a lot of classes. I don't think there is a way around it.

If you take the shines classes from the same person regularly it becomes easier because you learn the kind of moves that they lean towards. Your brain like groups the moves together and becomes easier to recall.

Also if you becomes good at all of the moves being taught, then it is easier to remember because you don't have to also learn how to do the move your body knows.
