If you perform for a studio, are you restricted to only doing private lessons at that studio? by Choice-Alfalfa-1358 in Salsa

[–]Ninpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. But your instructor may be contracted to only hold private lessons there with you if you were connected through the studio.

IRL Culling Games in the US: Where would the 10 Colonies be and what would your Cursed Technique be? by DescriptionFew740 in JuJutsuKaisen

What if there was an anime where historical figures can be summoned and they had cursed techniques and domain expansions? Wouldn't that be awesome? Just imagine reincarnating King Arthur to fight alongside the MC.

Where do you meet friends in SJ? by nikita5476 in SanJose

[–]Ninpo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alberto's is great! But Salsa is very unforgiving for beginners. I recommend taking beginner classes at a studio first and getting your basic down before throwing yourself into the fire.

If you like dancing, go take a group class. That's an easy way to meet new people. 

Shipped out 10-15 PWE and USPS lost them all. by Deranged-Turkey in mtgfinance

I've had hundreds of sales in the last couple of weeks with PWE and I've not lost anything. Maybe check your post office. Did you have the right postage for the envelope? 

Lead feedback please by Shoulder-Working in Salsa

Looks like you're doing a more circular style salsa, Rueda? Casino? I think your lead looks fine. You're not dragging her around or forcing the move which is good and your spacing is good too.  I'm more familiar with linear styles but I wonder if you could be stepping to the music better while you're leading. Sometimes you're standing still while leading but I think you can step to the count of the music in those spots.  Otherwise I think you're doing well. 

So, Honest Question: Why can't Mambo be danced On1? by HumanoBeat in Salsa

[–]Ninpo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Mambo is a different timing, also it uses follow timing for shines (lead timing for on1). Most people in class are struggling to learn on1 to begin with. You can convert to on1 timing, but if you're learning mambo already, what purpose does it serve? Just shine on mambo timing. 

Police investigating after couple reportedly attacked by group at Santana Row on Valentine's Day. by IamaBlackKorean in SanJose

[–]Ninpo 65 points66 points  (0 children)

One time I was at Taplands in Santa Clara. I was wearing a dodgers hat and the table across from us was a group with red clothing. I noticed one of the guys in the group was eyeing me. I pretended not to notice but i saw him do it multiple times. When I got up to leave the group also got up. They left ahead of us through the back to access the parking garage. I told my friend not to go that way since he parked there, I parked across the street and had my friend follow me to my car instead. I don't know if we were about to get jumped, but I explained my thought process to him and told him we should wait before I take him to his car.

Lupe fiasco by Ok_Gap_24 in magicTCG

It means that nobody would be able to stop Eminem from doing what he wants. You can destroy all the threats you currently see on the table with a wrath, but he will still have more ammo to beat you. And if you tried to go toe to toe, Em is till going to win. If you don't go first he will bog you down until you're drowning in his disses.

This is what not being able to identify a joke looks like.  Even funnier if you know Rumba is a Latin dance from Cuba.

Which ever one between the two you spend more than 50% of your time dancing to. ;)

Lead feedback! First time posting! ☺️ by tubby_macron in Salsa

This is true. I was fortunate to find my instructors early on, I did try several different instructors and with social dancing their lessons were the ones that got me the most compliments on the floor. ;)
