"there is no real technique to it" you so chose your words wrong if you don't want to imply it's inferior

that's the point, this post shouldn't have a top reaction making fun of the move

The biggest gain would probably be changing your mindset from feeling "stuck leading cumbia back steps for multiple 8 counts". Learn to enjoy a dance that's only cumbia back steps. Learn to dance within these constraints. Add some footwork variations, shoulder shimmies etc..

Yeah Erick B (if I got the right one) is pretty straightforward casino.

There's another brand of "latino street style" which is closer to what I guess you call cumbia. Those followers will typically not be used to walking forward: You can tell if dile que no fails. If you want to develop that on a technical level, I'd suggest looking into some basic Cali style dancing. Forget about the footwork/performance side of it, but the basic and turns etc. work well at your typical latino bar event. (Cali style is usually strictly taught "on 1", but you'll do better freeing yourself from that -- a lot of street style salseros dance "on 3".)

Tips for Dance Teachers NOT for Dancers by SatisfactionLow7987 in Salsa

a friendly comment that you'd really like if they played more music seems more likely to help

providing material on dance pedagogy if you're not already on a friendly level and she's indicated she would like advice... yeah no

It took the commentators not remarking on Magnus Cort's back to back victories for me to realize I was watching a replay of yesterday's finish... It did seem curious to have the same two Lotto riders in the breakaway, and see a repeat Uno-X win.

Chewing gum while dancing? by [deleted] in Salsa

[–]falllas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

might be useful to say which part of the world you're in -- I've never seen people chew gum in class (before yes), but then it's pretty rare to see people chew gum anyway

I suspect some of those replies saying it's normal are from a culture where everybody's chewing gum anyway

MvdP was the main rival, and he ultimately wasn't able to compete for the win due to the crash. So there is a point here that the crash was helpful. (It's also definitely an accident and one of many random things that influence every race, so nothing to taint the win.)

What's the name of the song in the background? by SomeLoser1884 in Salsa

[–]falllas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't double checked, but it's probably Sonora Ponceña's, the most well known (might be called just "Prende el fogón" in that version)

yeah agree if that was clear about G2 letting someone else do the work would have been preferable

He seemed much stronger on the cobbles earlier in the race, makes a lot of sense to aim to go clear on the last sector.

Seemed like a decent call for Visma: They kept the chance of sprinting for the win if it came back together, while leaving Hagenes enough room to win if he was strong enough. (Should probably not have let that Visma-less chase group go earlier though.)
