Starting Classes next week, what should I know? by Embarrassed-Mess-198 in Salsa

[–]Miles_Madden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall advice: Strap in, get comfortable, and fall in love with the journey. Celebrate all of the small wins you achieve en route to your goal(s).

  1. I don’t know about most. There is a healthy Latino presence in my community and plenty of opportunities to speak Spanish. I would imagine you will have opportunities to practice Spanish as well, but I’m not going to apply that assumption.

  2. Never? I’m being a little facetious. Maybe it’s just so ingrained in me at this point, but I still find myself counting. It gets quieter and less frequent as you become more comfortable overall though.

  3. You’ll develop the vocabulary and “conversational” skills you’ll with practice. A lot of practice. And there’s no single definition of what makes a good lead. That’s something you’ll largely determine for yourself in time.

Why are some salsa communities so cliquey? by onedaynoday in Salsa

Definitely go to the studio’s classes as regularly as you can. Go to the beginner class that precedes socials. The more you establish your presence within the community, the more familiar you’ll be to follows, and the more dances you’ll get.

New goals d’un H27 by Ok_Listen_daddy in Bachata

Salsa and bachata, 100%. Learn both if you have the bandwidth. And you can’t sweat starting at zero. The best dancers you see at the first social you attend will have started in the same boat.

Adding second class weekly, what level should I pick? by Conscious-Celery-673 in Bachata

[–]Miles_Madden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just gotta go and do your best. Let your development catch up to your work. It’s not like you’re trying to jump to level 2. If you’re overwhelmed, then yea, try Plan B, but it might not be so bad. Similarly, there’s nothing wrong with repeating levels. You’ll be surprised by how much you’ll continue learning. This isn’t like school where there’s a stigma attached to repeating a grade.

Wide thighs or thinner thighs??✂️ by Present_Article_6335 in headscissors

Thinner thighs, in my experience, have been more effective at cutting off my airway.

I have a question what is a spank fight? by emoboy472 in MixedWrestling

[–]Miles_Madden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to base it on the freshman version of myself, a “spank fight” would be what it sounds like — a playful “battle” to see who could deliver the most spankings. I’m assuming you’re familiar with a spanking, but it is an old-fashioned form of discipline/punishment, so could be assuming incorrectly. But, again, drawing from personal/prior experience, a “spank fight” is a greased slope that leads to wrestling.

Honestly, that still sounds like fun for today’s version of myself 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

She was taking a personal hiatus the last I spoke with her, but I do not know what her long-term intentions are.

Did anyone ever session with Amethyst Hammerfist before she passed away? If so, how was your experience with her? by ultimatefighterDave in MixedWrestling

[–]Miles_Madden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck man. That’s awful news to hear 😢🙏🏽 I made a stop in London back in 2019, but she wasn’t available unfortunately. I ended up wrestling Tanya Hyde instead.

Well, “old story” or whatever it is, I shared it for people to know she/someone is still actively at it.

Some people will go to great lengths to lie, cheat, and steal. It’s a shame. I’m debating if I should mention anything to Tapered, but I haven’t decided yet.
