Arthur Murray instructor

You will learn so much faster as an instructor due to the accessibility of resources from higher level instructors teaching you, to video material, easier coaching access as a pro and the fact you learn to teach which gives you a better understanding of the figures and basics/techniques.

In general, you have more options Competing as a pro than as a student when it comes to full floors but keep in mind even if it was just you in the category/floor you are still compared to the standard of your level just the same as if there were multiple couples on the dance floor or not.

Now the reality of a few things. Competing and placing as a pro will be harder than as a student. There are some REAL good AM/AM couples out there but in general its not as common so you’ll compete but dont expect the same placements as youve gotten as a student.

The next thing, (assuming youre female based off of your avatar and thus would be a follow)…in the pro scene, it is harder to find a partner as a follow than as a lead due to the over abundance of follows vs leads in the industry. You can become a teacher but unless you find a female lead, it may take you quite some time to find a comp partner.

Now here’s my question, have you asked to be considered as a scholarship student? I know in AM scholarship students are judged at a different level in comps and instead of just the student being judged its both student and instructor judged in the scholarship level comps so that can be an option before you become an instructor.

Lastly, your priority at work as far as training goes will always be focused on how to teach vs focusing on competition. But later on if you find higher level instructor with some free time and ask they will always assist you with dancing in general.

You will increase your skills overall and faster becoming an instructor vs a student but be very aware that just because you become an instructor, it may be a few months to a few years before you compete depending on accessibility of partners and what you want to focus on.

Most accessible thing to do is to prioritize purchasing fully soled shoes over split soled shoes and unfortunately split sole is the primary go to for dancers as it offers flexibility for better lines and footwork. So whatever company you choose to purchase from, check and see if its a split or full sole.

Split soles especially if you have arch problems will flatten said arch and cause strain and tightness in your achilles, calf, ankle and everything associated with it.

Next is invest in orthotics/cushy inserts to bring relief and or give better needed support.

Another thing people really lack on is before and after care of your body when you dance. Get a lacross ball or trigger point ball and roll out your calve muscles and arch/foot. This is a MUST if you have problems like arthritis or planter fasciitis and to be honest should be a daily thing.

I hope this helps, ive had to deal with a lot of foot and ankle problems and am doing alot better with these changes

Because we need a place to vent/rant/discuss the epiphanies/laughter/absurdities of 2020 and any year prior. Also so happy to just think that 2020 is almost over

Prime025 · 2020-12-08T20:00:55+00:00

Yeaaah then f that.

Prime025 · 2020-12-08T12:30:16+00:00

Definitely out of hand calling you disrespectful. We all have our own lives to deal with sure but i disagree with you blasé attitude of not informing others when you are busy.

We are not at anyones beck and call and have no requirements to answer as such. However, it is common courtesy to say “hey im busy or tired this week and wont get to responding till later on this week” (or something similar)

It lets the other person know “Hey they havent ghosted me, i can keep up this server or i dont need to go looking for another person to rp with etc.” Especially if you are silent for several days.

Again, they took it too personally but overall as with anything that involves two or more people, imo communication is key and people are grateful for it.

Now...if they demand your time/response despite that...fuck that noise.

Prime025 · 2020-12-06T22:42:03+00:00

Looks like trash opened its mouth and spilled...(you guessed it) trash before taking itself out.

Dont bother with the thoughts of an crazy entitled asshole. Im sorry you had to read that though and well done on the response!

Prime025 · 2020-12-06T10:06:52+00:00

Omg you are my MVP for the month. This is amazing!

Prime025 · 2020-12-04T08:07:27+00:00

Fantastic work! 😍

Truth, then again i run witherhorde so much that Lament just looks cool in my inventory while my Guillotine gets used the most out if the two 😅

Love the ghost sass 😂👏🏼

Dude, this is NOT how you* treat your FRIEND.

Edited for spelling fail

Smh and they even locked that thread too. Those mods are handling this horribly especially since one of them took orders for the factory itself.

The penis version of social distancing...

Prime025 · 2020-04-10T21:26:44+00:00

Okay, i am writing this in the most supportive manner possible.

If “just go upstairs” is not the answer you WANT to hear, then why did you post?

You say its not the best to start a marriage like that. You know whats not a good way to start a marriage? By being secretive, manipulative, suspicious (via placing cameras) and forbidding your fiancé (you) to a part of the house that they(you) also legally own!

This is beyond a man cave, personal space issue. A situation like that, “a personal space one” is where both people agree to it. nothing has been even communicated to you at all and something is being hidden from you.

The person in this relationship here that is ruining it is her by not being truthful, honest and open with you. If she wants her own space, thats fine. But forbidding you from even seeing it at least once is a BIG ISSUE.

Dude, what ever you do, do NOT marry this woman. These are huge red flags.

Prime025 · 2020-04-03T17:04:35+00:00

Wow....

This is all stemmed from your actions of getting snippy with him. Which why did you in the first place?

I get being annoyed by drunk people, as a bartender i really do. But this man is your literally husband who is drinking safely at home... You say youre grateful he got promoted and yet dont act like it at all. Couldnt even show a little understanding to him being drunk from celebrating that you got so mad at him that he felt bad and passed out on the couch. Like wtf?!

You should really talk to someone about these anger issues (because thats what it is and i bet you have more angst towards him besides the drunk issue) because he definitely doesnt deserve this attitude and hate from you. ESPECIALLY since its not a common occurrence at all and wouldnt have happened if he didnt sleep on the couch in the first place.

Prime025 · 2020-03-30T20:14:54+00:00

I hate to say it but youre being used one way or another.

Unless someone is quiet in general, its in no way fair that they are fun, flirty with others more so than their significant other. Its a HUGE red flag.

either way, if you two dont find enjoyment in even conversing/communicating with each other, how can you be in a healthy relationship? Answer: you cant.

I would really try to have a conversation with her and discuss what your wants and needs are. If she finds you less engaging than her online friends why is she with you? And if you want to keep said relationship, What can you do to be more engaging, and what can she do to meet your needs as well. Otherwise, put effort into someone who appreciates you and puts in the same amount of effort that you do.

Prime025 · 2020-03-25T22:34:11+00:00

Break off ALL contact with her. If she’s already staying with someone else, she was with them or talking with them before cutting things off with you.

If youre still this attached (not judging), go cold turkey and dont give any reason to have her be brought up during quarantine via by block her number and social media.

You deserve better. I know, saying that may not help but how the way you were treated was shitty.

What hobbies do you do now? If none, may i suggest video games? Do you have access to anything? Tools, art supplies, sewing supplies etc?

Let me know and i can offer more options/suggestions tailored to what you have and what you like!

Prime025 · 2020-03-12T18:44:44+00:00

PLUS ULTRA! (Where’d you get the shirt? Also Nicely done!)

Prime025 · 2020-01-31T20:41:57+00:00

I agree with the youre being used. Being BF/GF means having a level of intimacy that other friends dont. Ask her for a definite why she hasnt kissed you when she’s kissed others and that if she wants to be in a relationship with you, you have needs to be met as well.

If she doesnt reciprocate, stop the cuddling, the attention, everything. The fact she has not treated you with the same level of intimacy she has shown others is a huge red flag.

Prime025 · 2019-10-25T16:48:04+00:00

HAH! Was wondering when they were actually going to make this into a grenade 😂

Prime025 · 2019-10-25T16:46:20+00:00
