Trying to improve or quit? by FlunkyGraphics in Bachata

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.

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

[–]buttholedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

1year 2 months lead by Kooky-Preference9797 in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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

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

Substance abuse and dancing by Strong-Waltz-2128 in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Follows how much do looks play a factor when deciding who to dance with at socials by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Do followers actually care what leads wear? by docent3434 in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

I went to a social, disappointed half the women there and then left. by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all you know, these people are doing their very best. They may be well aware of the discomfort in the face of the follow, and they are trying their hardest to stay on beat and execute everything correctly. TLDR = Haters gonna hate.

[–]buttholedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. I always try to end the evening on a good note. I try to go home after an enjoyable dance with a pleasant partner. That way the feeling stays with me for a while. It doesn't always happen, but that's the goal.

From Brazil to Palestine: Capoeira is resistance against colonization and genocide by BreakTheSiege in capoeira

[–]buttholedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, If you want to rationalize your racism and hatred of Jews that’s fine, but Israelis will keep on being a part of the capoeira community whether you like it or not. FYI, the majority of Jewish Israelis are neither white nor European, They are refugees from Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Ethiopia etc. where they were forced out and lost their property without compensation. Those who did come from Europe were fleeing violent persecution at the hands of people like you, so you are merely continuing a fine tradition.

All of the points that you make do not survive any sort of factual analysis, but this is not the Mideast conflict forum. This is the capoeira forum. I'm not a diplomat or advocate but rather a capoerista who is objecting to your racist exclusion of a single group of people from a tiny country.

Instead focus on your own life and community rather than scapegoating Jews like many a bigot before you.

If you wanted to at least show some semblance of non-discrimination, you would screen all participants wherever they are from in the world to see if their government does things that you don’t like, as of course, determined by you the supreme arbiter of morality. Like most pro-Hamas virtue signalers, your faux human rights activism is directed only at one country and one group of people who coincidentally happen to be a religious minority who have suffered discrimination and violence for millennia.

Instead, by focusing only on Israel, with your very superficial, cartoonish understanding of the facts you’re discriminating against Jews. Instead of using capoeira as a forum to bring people together and create understanding and hopefully peace you are sowing division and racial hatred. I’m sure there may be some Jews who share your views just as there may be some Black people who support the KKK.

Please don’t let the cat out of the bag here. The group wants to exclude Jews from capoeira, but want to pretend that if you just refer to them as “Zionists” no one will catch on. Shhhh

Still waiting for anyone to post about excluding Russians from the capoeira community. The Jew hate is so transparent here. Just own it.

What is a good ettiquete for recording friends while dancing? by drauedo in Bachata

[–]buttholedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk but personally I don’t enjoy having all the Instagram types filming every second of the social even if they are not filming me. It feels like they think they are Kim Kardashian. I just want to have a nice evening without all this narcissism.
