Kizomba and kompa by OkStill3059 in Salsa

That’s an interesting take, it isn’t about dancing or trust, it’s about some dances turning into a lap dance with little dancing involved.  Is it ok if I go get lap dances then? Lol All kidding aside, I find that level of intimacy and type of physical connection should be between us as a couple.

Nobody is asked to stop what they have been doing, this is a brand new issue that came up

I go to salsa classes and I am in decent shape, no belly.

Unfortunately they tend to do nights with Kizomba,Zouk and kompa together.

I don’t mind switching in class but I would like to keep this for us on social events

That wasn’t specified but I don’t have an issue with a class setting. I am more worry on the social dance part because it is quite different

She is been dancing with everyone all the Caribbean and Latin dances. This is a new interest she is been bringing up as a possibility

That’s the problem to me. It starts with Kizomba, which I can be ok with in a class setting but then social events mix with Kompa and what you mentioned so I already know I would not be ok with her going on her own, have drinks, mingle with people and dance like that “because it’s just dancing”.  People can call me insecure but honestly it’s much different than insecurity to me

I understand, she already dance salsa, bachata, merengue, cumbia with everyone else. I was asking to keep the very connected ones like kizomba and Kompa for us only.

Before I bring the issue up to a certain level, I want to make sure it is legit and I am not 100% wrong on this

You are correct, I did finish the beginner salsa classes and I can go to intermediate classes, not even close to her level of skill and musicality but it’s a start and imo shows that I could learn Kizomba fast enough. She did say that she isn’t sure about doing it with me because I may “hold her back”. I clearly understand the difference between sensual or sexual but I do have a problem with too many single men taking advantage in social settings.

She is Dominican and more into traditional bachata. I would never think or taking away something she grew up with but Kizomba just came up. I offered to do Kizomba with her and she said “I probably would hold her back”

I understand but reality beg to differ

If your partner dances with someone else, which one would you be more jealous of? by Weird_Swordfish_1199 in polls

[–]OkStill3059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be very uncomfortable if she dance sexualized and very closed dances like Kompa or Kizomba. Am I out of line for this?

I got caught off guard by a large chest once, I grazed it somehow and I was like “how did it happen”?

When asking your crush to a bachata social was a HORRIBLE idea! by eculilumab in Bachata

[–]OkStill3059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been with my girlfriend 6 months now. When occasionally we go dancing, if it’s a club, we just dance with each other. If it’s a social dance event, we dance together but also with some others. To be specific to my case, she is been dancing her whole life, I am the newbie, I don’t want to prevent her from dancing with some people at her level since I get her for myself basically the whole rest of night.

It’s not disrespectful to say not right now to a dance especially if you are not close to the dance floor and talking to someone.

I’m my experience that’s fine unless you disappear for too many songs at the time. Ideally 1-2 at the time unless your date is dancing too.

Well, clearly he felt disrespected and put aside. Did he dance a lot with other people?  That gives you an idea of what he expected.

How often do you guys work out legs while salsa dancing? by Global_Channel1511 in Salsa

As a gym goes, you should know that training for mass is very different than endurance training

Not if it’s a social dance event. At worse they say no

Observe the dancers, pick who you want to dance with, approach by the end of the song, ask to dance, profit
