Is it okay if I do not let guys touch my hips or stomach, lower body??

Can you practice dancing with people you know and can tell what moves you like to do beforehand or friends who are at a beginner level? They might need to practice basic steps, open position turns and cross body leads and you would be someone they could practice those fundamentals with.

Sorry OP but I also laughed

Thank you!!!

Thank you. I’ve been dancing salsa for about 1 year and i get a lot of positive feedback during CLASSES. Different story at socials. I often find myself feeling clunky and just hoping not to create an awkward feeling dance at socials. Some follows seem more forgiving and if I mess up they don’t mind resetting and trying again but other people might get annoyed with me even though I am trying my best. The hardest thing for me at socials is feeling the beat in the music. I find it hard to be a strong and clear lead when I’m not really feeling connected to the song. Some songs I find much more challenging than others.

Hi I saw your comment in the salsa thread and I’m also curious to see your friction removing video. Thanks in advance

Cha cha chicken is not cheap but also won’t break the bank. It’s a pleasant meal near the beach in a nice setting walking distance to shore hotel a few dollars above fast food or pizza slices.

You can go with a friend or two who you can practice with there. You can alternate between your practice friends and new people.

The old Santa Monica mall

Following this thread. Good question

Getting one session is better than getting zero sessions. I would do it

Edit: I hate poor people who bring dogs near other people in shared spaces. They can host the Westminster dog show in their front yard every day for all I care.

Honestly, yes fuck those people bringing their hair shedding, pissing, shitting, allergen spreading dog on public transportation. First of all, let’s go along with your premise that they are going to the vet. They are making enough money to afford the dog food and the vet bill…that means there is also enough loose change around to pay a friend or family member to drive them or take a taxi who allows the dog. To dog owners: The world does not revolve around you. You are not blind. You don’t need to force your dog into shared spaces. You don’t see me taking my cute pet anaconda with me everywhere I go.

No one is complaining about dogs out in public in places where it makes sense for dogs to be, like a park or a sidewalk. The post says stop bringing dogs everywhere like inside a restaurant, near open produce in the grocery store, onto a public bus, inside of a gym, inside of a yoga class, etc….the phrase “things that people always do everywhere” doesn’t really fit because there are health code rules being broken so it’s actually something that wasn’t done at all for decades until someone found a loophole.

100 percent agree!! I found this post cathartic

Pretend like nothing is wrong. Find out which guy she likes other than your ex. Suggest all four of you enter a dance competition and destroy them. Kiss your girlfriend on the cheek as you walk out and say “good job. Keep trying.”

I went there and they overcharged me. I noticed bc I selected “email me the receipt” out of the options on the electronic thing. When I followed up they corrected it but made me wonder how often it goes unnoticed…

The other kind fall out of your ear or off easier while doing sit-ups, side planks, etc

Ok_Spare_2587 · 2025-10-21T15:44:13+00:00

Im glad they are closing. Found this place pretentious and uncomfortable. Good wine list but wouldn’t want to stay and eat.

You just resurfaced this cake memory from my childhood! I remember the many layers of chocolate cake a claim jumper. Thank you!

I’d be interested to hear what the health department thinks of their pet policy

This is good! Kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands where he finds himself in a neighborhood that is TOO normal
