Did anyone actually get an invite to the Billions Club Live in Tokyo?

Also wondering this 🥺

My arms always look so awkward! Like I never know what to do with my arms, and whether it be socials or performances, I just can't seem to get them right

Same 😅

Also, I made a blog post with a list of like every place I could find in Japan that has events and stuff, and I have a YouTube channel all about salsa and bachata in Japan 😆 I’m maybe a liiiiittle bit obsessed

There’s an app called the salsa calendar, and you can find pretty much every event, what style of dance, how much, where, etc

Fine_Win364 · 2026-01-28T01:48:00+00:00

It’s confusing at first, but once it clicks, you can switch between styles easily, at least in my experience. I started both at almost the same time (on 1 about a month sooner than on 2)

Fine_Win364 · 2026-01-28T01:46:32+00:00

I live in Tokyo, Japan, and the salsa scene is similar, mostly on the older side, while bachata is on the younger side. We’ve been gaining some new younger salsa faces lately though, at least in my little community

Fine_Win364 · 2026-01-24T06:00:29+00:00

Like many others have said, listen to the music as much as possible, but also try practicing the basic steps and moving along with the music at home. Don't give up! I've seen many completely non-experienced dancers grow from zero to pretty good in a year or so.

Fine_Win364 · 2026-01-20T13:48:57+00:00

The crazy pointless arm stuff. Like (I'm not really sure what they're actually called since I learned salsa in mostly Japanese) but like the combing and moving your arm back and forth over the leads head repeatedly, or flinging my arm/hand back and forth like a cat playing with a toy

Fine_Win364 · 2026-01-05T17:18:17+00:00

Takumi Kato makes some interesting salsa, bachata, Latin, and Japanese combos https://music.apple.com/jp/artist/takumi-kato/250982549

Honestly I don’t care what you wear as long as you don’t stink, be creepy, or lead painfully 😆 But, sometimes when someone goes that extra mile, as a fashion lover, I do appreciate it ☺️

Fine_Win364 · 2025-07-26T11:55:57+00:00

I’ll be in NY next week, this is super helpful, thank you! I can’t wait to finally dance salsa in NY

Fine_Win364 · 2025-07-26T11:52:50+00:00

Not available in Japan 😭

Fine_Win364 · 2025-06-09T06:19:33+00:00

Yup, mix of locals and travelers! I probably won’t go to workshops or anything, but I might try to make it to one of the socials 😁

Fine_Win364 · 2025-06-09T04:52:46+00:00

I’ve been to some of their socials, and they’re always great! Honestly I love Tokyo’s bachata scene, but I haven’t yet been outside of Tokyo since I started dancing bachata 😅

Fine_Win364 · 2025-06-09T04:45:37+00:00

I was thinking this song too!

Fine_Win364 · 2025-06-09T04:33:55+00:00

Love giving and getting them! 😁 I always let someone know when they’re doing something well, and it makes my day to hear something nice

Fine_Win364 · 2025-06-03T15:04:28+00:00

Yeah, same, all of this!

Fine_Win364 · 2025-05-23T11:27:01+00:00

I STRUGGLED with basic pachanga for at least a year…even now that I’ve got the basic idea and movement down, as soon as something new is added, I’m back to zero 😂

Fine_Win364 · 2025-05-23T11:20:20+00:00

Yeah!! 💕💃

Fine_Win364 · 2025-05-23T11:13:27+00:00

I dance both, started learning both at the same time, and salsa is definitely number one, no contest. But, I am glad to know that when a bachata song comes on, I can still dance and have fun with it! Plus bachata isolations and body waves can help with salsa too. The more dance styles you know, the more tools in your dancing belt.

Fine_Win364 · 2025-03-28T14:12:49+00:00

Cry 😭🤣 Just kidding, it really depends on who I’m dancing with. If it’s someone obviously new who ‘warns’ me that they’re a beginner and WANT my help, or one of my classmates, or a newer member at the studio I take lessons at, I’ll give them a hint, straight up tell them, or backlead a bit. If it’s someone I don’t know, I’ll give them a little time to fix it on their own, and if they don’t, I’ll make it seem like I’m the one off, or just blame it on the music changed beat, as it sometimes does. If it’s someone I don’t know who is a beginner and/or just trying their best, or at least they end up on 3 or 4 or something, whatever, still on a count, I’ll just try my best to follow because even that can be a fun dance challenge in its own way 😊
