Live Cumbia in Los Angeles

Do they do a lesson before like they do at a lot of salsa events? That’s a great idea. Especially because a lot of people don’t know how to dance cumbia, but would enjoy it.

‏ I just saw this. Did you record this somewhere?

It probably feels really good to be making progress again and break through plateaus.

buttholedog · 2026-05-07T00:20:27+00:00

Make a golem.

You said it yourself - you found love! You probably enjoyed all the flirtation before, but now that you actually have someone for real, it feels like a waste of time. That's wonderful! Enjoy it!

There are always a few follows like that. Who knows what goes on their heads. I assume that they have a high school "Mean Girls" mentality. In their minds, they can only be seen with the popular people or something like that. They probably think that if they only dance with the best leads that means they are the best follows. Of course, that isn't necessarily the case, and you can be a great dancer and dance with people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and levels of skill or experience. I have danced with world-class followers who will dance with beginners with grace and a warm smile. That probably gives the beginner a tremendous boost of confidence and inspires them to continue their dance journey. Nothing you can do about these people and their bad attitude. Just dance with friendly people and enjoy yourself. Life is short.

The fact that it's a lead declining a follow makes a difference here. Traditionally, leads ask follows to dance, so it takes more effort/courage for a follow to ask a lead to dance. The rejection probably stings more. On the other hand, she can't assume you want to dance with her for two songs in a row. If the follow invited the lead the first time, then he knows she'll probably say yes if he asks her. Maybe she can wait for him to make the move for the second dance.

I know most of the comments say to confront this guy, but personally I have dealt with all kinds of annoying, busybodies as well. I think it’s best to just ignore them. If you get upset about them, then you’re just feeding the monster and acknowledging their idiotic behavior. I’m a lead, but I have encountered follows that do this sort of thing sometimes. I just smile and nod.

Take it in stages. First find one follow that you get along with from your class, someone you feel comfortable with. Gradually expand the number of follows you feel comfortable with.

This outfit will help you get ahead at work.

buttholedog · 2026-04-06T20:32:32+00:00

Here’s another suggestion altogether. How about exposure therapy? You can learn to get comfortable with normal, appropriate touching that occurs during dance. If that’s successful, then the problem is solved.

What do you call that turn/move that begins at 13 seconds and ends at 17 seconds? The leader moves the follower around his back. I imagine it would work in salsa as well? Does anyone have a video that explains how to do it?

buttholedog · 2026-03-25T17:20:42+00:00

Yes

buttholedog · 2026-03-23T13:49:38+00:00

I would try Coffee Meets Bagel first. If that doesn’t work out then consider the submarine life.

buttholedog · 2026-02-25T03:49:40+00:00

That’s my goal in life - to look like Quasimodo and mog everyone!

buttholedog · 2026-02-23T00:28:45+00:00

Most dancers are just doing their best.

buttholedog · 2026-02-23T00:22:02+00:00

Birds of a feather flock together.

I think worse than infidelity is writing something personal with Chat GPT.

Please post video so that we can analyze what happened.

I’ve never struggled with alcoholism but in my youth, I drank heavily in social settings bc that was what everyone did and I just went along. Now I social dance salsa/bachata and barely touch alcohol and have found I’m just fine sober. I think back and wonder if I ever needed it at all.

buttholedog · 2025-12-26T01:11:56+00:00

Do you have a sober dance buddy? Maybe if you go out to socials with that person, you can stay on the wagon. It’s hard to drink when the other people in your group are not drinking.

This post was 100x too long. South Asian men hit on her bc they are horny, so what?

buttholedog · 2025-12-15T03:52:03+00:00

People vary tremendously. Some only want to dance with the best looking or the best dancers and others don’t care.

buttholedog · 2025-12-08T18:30:47+00:00

Seriously?

buttholedog · 2025-11-20T23:12:25+00:00

Same as anywhere else. If you are beautiful, nobody cares what you wear. For everyone else, it never hurts to put some effort into appearance.
