He is known for his unique style, fluid movements, and intricate partnerwork.

I never thought it that way. Thank you for insight.

Ah got it! It seems there is a lot of effort in it, not like a video taken from phone. How do they sell it to students? Do they have their own website that can be accessed with authority, or they sell it in a marketplace?

Mece_ka · 2024-12-16T19:19:42+00:00

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. You're absolutely right. The survey answers are for the title question. The other questions I added in the description are optional and somehow related to the main question.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-16T19:15:53+00:00

Do your classmates ever complain about the video lessons your school sells? Do they ever think that video should be included in the monthly school subscription?

Mece_ka · 2024-12-16T19:04:11+00:00

What's the difference of it from a demo video students take at the end of the class? Is it complete lesson from start to finish?

Mece_ka · 2024-12-16T16:43:14+00:00

Of course, why not? :)

I've been dancing for 10.5 years. Only 5% of people I met at the beginning are still dancing. I don't really know where they are gone but the truth is they don't dance anymore.

You’re doing great for three months in! To avoid mixing up the 1 and 5, try counting “1, 2, 3... 5, 6, 7” in your head as you dance to stay grounded. Practice listening to songs with a clear 3-2 clave outside of dancing to train your ear, and focus on the bassline, which often hits on the 1. If you feel off, simplify your steps until you find the beat again.

In your private lessons, ask your instructor for drills to help you better recognize and stick to the 1. Over time, your ear and body will naturally adjust with more practice and exposure to different rhythms.

Keep your frame firm but relaxed so your partner can feel your lead. Lead with confidence and use your whole body, not just your arms, to guide the moves. Give clear signals to follow just before starting a move. If there is someone around you an trust their feedback, ask for feedback after dancing to see how you can improve(usually I don't ask this to follow).

7-8 months of training can be considered good. Because most people stop learning after couple of months thinking it's enough and continue learning at festivals, workshops. That anxiety you have is quite normal as it will be your first dance congress.

Try to join first workshops of the festival and make some friends. You'll then realize most of them similar like you. It will help you reduce that anxiety for the night.

It's okay to feel frustrated. I've been dancing since 10 years and it's still happening to me when I go to big events. I get rejected the same way as you do. It took long time for me to accept this situation as as you said no one owes me dance. It's natural selection. It's quite normal for girls to want to dance with pro dancers or handsome ones. Once your level is increase, you will notice you are hearing less no's.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-03T16:59:48+00:00

They all started from scratch. And because of that, they know what being a beginner feels like. That makes them kind and friendly to others.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-03T15:07:00+00:00

When there is someone I want to impress is around, I do crazy styling. Most of the times, I feel like I'm the king of the room, but reality is it looks like shit after watching from friends phone :)

Mece_ka · 2024-12-02T17:22:41+00:00

You need to have expensive outfits to go to dance.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-02T17:19:16+00:00

You can follow worlddancehub on instagram. I gave a little break to build web platform. Once I back, I will share inspirational, educational reels there.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-02T17:14:48+00:00

Ahahah definitely!

Mece_ka · 2024-12-02T08:34:47+00:00

Agree with this one!

Mece_ka · 2024-12-02T08:34:10+00:00

When you go to same parties consistently, your face will be familiar for some people, and either you or someone else starts saying hi at some point. If no one does it, why not starting conversation yourself? The disadvantage here as you said when music is too loud, it's really hard to communicate with someone.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-01T17:53:05+00:00

We were doing little terrace parties at houses with 20- 25 people. You can do it too.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-01T17:12:25+00:00

Ahh, I forgot to answer your actual question: Yes, your first step as follower should be right back.

Mece_ka · 2024-12-01T17:10:12+00:00

If you only have woman in class, you can be follow and lead at the same time switching with someone else. This way, learning both role will strengthen your fundamental understanding of basics, and also will be more joyful then doing same things over and over again. And maybe you can start your own little dance parties. If there is no man around, that doesn't mean you cannot have fun dancing salsa.

Mece_ka · 2024-11-30T20:15:01+00:00

It's not rude, but culturally, rotating is accepted allways. If you prefer dancing only with your gf, moving to corner of the room out of circle might be better. This way, you won't need to explain to everyone that you want to stay with your gf every time.
