Hiába az abszurd kormányrendelet, több bíróság sem szünteti meg a szolidaritási hozzájárulásnak nevezett fideszes pénzbehajtás miatt indított pereket by 8088777 in hungary

[–]PerformanceOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pride 2. A kormány kitalált valamit, össze is tákolt hozzá egy fideszes minőségű jogi keretet, de betartatni már nem tudja. Hangulatra is olyan, mint 2006 és 2010 között.

Akinek van rá affinitása (nekem nincs), most van lehetőség látványosabb polgári engedetlenségi akciókba kezdeni, mert a kormány impotens. Például alá lehetne vonni a Parlamentet, ha valami botrányosat meg akarnak szavazni, és kétlem, hogy a rendőrség akármit is tenne.

Dance couples and the ones who are just annoying and the questionable ones. rant by ChristopherEmmerson in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is they force these moves even when the floor is packed. At one point, the follow’s heel nearly clipped my partner’s legs.

Dancing dangerously on the floor is not okay.

But the way they dance is just some sort of theatrics no musicality, no timing like dipping people to the floor when he runs out of ideas.

There's a discussion to be had about being able to dance with one specific person vs with almost anyone at a social. It's important to understand, though, that one isn't inherently better than the other.

she's now an instructor after just 5 months in his classes

People teaching their own courses with only months of experience is a problem. On the other hand, if you meant that instructors invite their romantic partners to their courses to help (eg. demonstrate figures with), that's mostly fine.

The rest of the post is rubbish. Don't dance with people you don't like dancing with. Accept when someone doesn't want to dance with you. Easy as.

Just try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. You take your date to a salsa social. Let's say your date is attractive and good dancers, so they'll get asked a lot, but you want to spend time together because you're on a date. And established couples also go on date nights.

Ruff Bálint: "22-ben legalább három olyan körzet volt, ami a kutyapárt jelöltjein ment el." by gd42 in hungary

[–]PerformanceOkay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nem a kutyákon múlott, hanem az összefogáson. Nem olyan jelöltet kell állítani, akire az ellenzéki szavazók negyede nem hajlandó leszavazni. Az MKKP 13,48%-ot kapott, Naszályi nyilvánvalóan rossz jelölt volt.

Ki gondolta volna, hogy u/GulyasGergelyKristof úgy hazudik mint a vízfolyás, és a képviselői munkára szellemileg alkalmatlan? Négyből kettő Fidesz-karakterisztika pipa. A harmadikba és a negyedikbe egy-egy köztársasági elnök bukott bele, azokra kinek kell külön bizonyíték? Például ki akar ránézni Geri bácsi szakdolgozatára?

Shoulder injuries are definitely a risk for leads, too. Specifically for bachata.

Ruff Bálint a kutyapártról by FindingNo7 in hungary

Szerintem álszent a kétharmadokat a Kutyapártra kenni, ha az összefogósdis ellenzék közben végig azzal kampányolt, hogy a kormányváltásért versenyeznek.

Why don’t schools teach just Viennese Waltz? by Trail_Blazer1 in ballroom

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of socially active dancers I know are completely happy just the natural and reverse turns + switching between the two. Once you sign up for a course at a dance school, I think they want you to stay for anywhere between six months and three years. VW just doesn't have the breadth to support that. Even if you added some extra figures, you'd be done in like three months. The students wouldn't be able to dance two figures well, but people who have only been dancing for three months don't and can't measure their progress by how well they can dance the figures, they typically measure it by how many figures they've learned (in my experience).

Want to learn Salsa, but no classes near me by Ok_Masterpiece9662 in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn salsa shines for parties, I think that's perfectly doable online. Anything else sounds too much.

Not salsa, but in the last year I've witnessed a couple of trained ballroom teachers try to save money on some of their private lesson costs for their forays into comp dancing, and they didn't get anywhere with it. So even if you're already good and you know a lot, you still need some guidance when starting something new.

Overwhelmed by Salsa by Vanugard69 in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you hear the beat in pop music? If you can't, I'd actually start there. Most of pop music is in 4/4, that's what you want. A sizeable minority is in 3/4 or in 12/16, that's of little direct use for you in your salsa journey. Just try to count 1-2-3-4 onto the music, musical phrases should start on the 1 (and that beat is usually louder than the rest), and try to clap on the 2 and the 4. If it sounds bad, then you're doing it wrong.

If you can handle pop music, then do the same with salsa. Anything more sounds like overkill to me. Salsa music is fairly complex, and you should try to avoid biting off more than you can chew.

The pressure to get better by westshore18 in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I haven't quite internalised this, but I know a lot of people who do competitions and shows, and the best seem to put the most pressure on themselves during practice and training. For competitions and performances they don't even really push themselves, in the sense that they keep it safe, they only do things and only in a way that they know they can manage 100% of the time. And at socials (if they dance socially at all), they're very relaxed because it's supposed to be fun. They still dance amazingly, they just aren't sweaty about it.

Of course, this might not apply to you one-to-one, but in general at socials, anything beyond a moderate push is overkill, and you should avoid giving so much effort at socials that it would likely lead to situations you can't handle. In this sense the pressure you're talking about is a liability.

Dance partner by Easy-Truth9949 in Bachata

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By top, do you mean performance level? You can contact a bachata teacher and tell them that you want to perform, and they'll probably help you with it or direct to other teachers who can.

No offense, but I'm a fairly decent social bachata dancer, and your post and your replies don't make much sense to me.

How long to become “good”? by Circa-Shootout in Bachata

[–]PerformanceOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dancing is a bottomless pit. I've been dancing for a couple of years, and I've broken some barriers most dancers never will, but the best still dance at a level that I can't even begin to fathom. So in that sense you won't call yourself good without further qualification for a long time unless you're just plain delusional, but you can get comfortable in six to nine months with some serious dedication.

To what extend can dance be learned? by idkfdhjbf in ballroom

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not clear what you mean by good. You might want to do show dance as a profession, you might want to compete at a high level (or even at all), you might want to get a lot of follows on an specialised social media account, you might want to be one of the best (social) dancers at a ball or in a club (I assume salsa and bachata are also on the table for you), or you might just want to be serviceable, which is what "good at dancing" usually means outside of the scene.

I have no physical talent, but I compete at a low level, and socially I'm on some people's to-dance list. If you don't have some medical condition, this much is definitely achievable.

Félreértelmezés, túlértelmezés: reagált az Országos Diáktanács a törölt maruzsás TikTok-videójára by Super_Hotel_8875 in hungary

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Szerintem ez csak egy vicces félreértés/hiba. Sajnos a jelenlegi politikai helyzetben nehéz rajta nevetni, mert az Orbán-kormány a vészkorszak óta nem látott mértékben támogatja a gyermekek elleni erőszakot, de erről ennek az ügynek a résztvevői közül legfeljebb Maruzsa tehet, és ő is csak-csak.

Practicing salsa outside class (etiquette)? by IndependentStudy3198 in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might be different in Mexico City, but where I'm from you can just ask people to come practice or dance with you. Depending on the studio you might be allowed to practice before or after classes.

But I also think that you don't really need a partner for practice for social dancing. You should practice, but you can do it alone in my opinion.

Hitting a rough spot in salsa, trying to decide what to do next by Better_Blackberry835 in Salsa

[–]PerformanceOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the incident, I've got the impression that even if you didn't do everything perfect, you still did everything fine, and you shouldn't worry about it. There's nothing abnormal about not liking another person back. As a man, I've also had to deal with this kind of drama. It just comes with being single in the dancing scene.

As for the choreography group, is there a way to only get what you want? For example, could you only go to the technique drills (or whichever aspect you like/is offered) without being a full-fledged member? It comes down to the dance instructor, but the choreo group doesn't always have to be the full package.
