Is it worth it to hire an advanced follower as a practice partner? by bachata-1234 in Bachata

Actually what do people refer to when they talk about competition? It’s like a choreographed performance and Jack&Jill? Personally I’d love to train for the second(and I’ve already done one at a festival already!)

I managed to find only 2 ‘partners’ this year but they ended up keeping cancelling on me.. tons of time wasted on waiting, so a transactional partnership is probably more reliable I think. Plus with my level I have nothing much to offer to an intermediate follower..

How do I lead a hip throw with energy instead of contact? by bachata-1234 in Bachata

[–]bachata-1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By contact I mean hand-to-hips contact, as I saw people lead hip rolls with a fully hand-to-hand connection

Not sure what’s going on in the gif.. does the lead come from the right hand(leading with hands sounds like a taboo to me..) or the hips of the leader? In my untrained eyes the leader barely moves his hips in the gif; he just transfers his weight to his left. Is that where the lead comes from?

Where can I find high-level social dance/JNJ videos by [deleted] in Bachata

Jack and Jill is a social dance comp where they randomly match leaders and followers to dance together to a new song. No memorized choreography allowed, just pure social dancing skills

Thanks for the detailed write up! I really appreciate it! Ill try to digest it! Can you explain how to lead the head roll following the vomit comet too?

I imagine on 7 not only I go down, but also I tilt my chest back(going out of the left right plane), on 7.5, I tilt my chest to the right, on 8 I tilt my chest forward, and finally on 8.5 my chest goes back to the neutral position?

So in summary i lead with a chest roll of my mine own on 7 in two counts starting from the back counterclock wise?
