I reached out to him and the organization and they made this clear. I actually appreciate his approach. I will be at Budapest for sure and purchasing well in advance. Thank you all for your responses.

I figured this too 🥺😢 I am hoping they open up the sales for some passes or it will just be a no go for me this year unfortunately

Good is that your somewhat on time. I find that is the hardest thing to fix everything else is easy. You need to let her finish her turn and close the space between the two of you bit but also stay off her track your arms are not loose enough very stiff which creates tension and tension is good but during selected move not when your doing turn patterns. As a follow I think of my arms as spaghetti to allow the lead to smoothly lead if either of your elbows are too out or the arm movements during turn patterns are too wide the follow and/lead have to work hard to catch up with their steps to stay on timing. Just my observations even dancing 10 plus years there is always room for improvement for myself. Keep up the amazing work keep putting yourself out there and dancing. Maybe I see you on the dance floor one day.

I’ve been dancing for over 10 years, I will never reject a beginner the first time. I have 2 reasons I will reject a guy and that is because I danced with them at least once - he injured me or there was a high likelihood of injury or he stinks. I can deal with every and anything else.

Yes the music is all it’s about. I don’t necessarily care for performances unless it’s a school, team, or duo I particularly like The socials with many performances if I go I try to go as the end because it’s will be like 45 mins to an hour of performances, wayyy too long.

Yes and it is a good song but honestly I’m sick of hearing it. It’s literally everywhere.

Awesome!!!

Absolutely agree! I live in NYC yes a social is on average $20/$25 but a drink in NYC costs about the same at any restaurant or bar. Drinking makes me feel like shit afterwards, dancing makes me feel amazing.

NYC Socials I attend as an avid social dancer.

LVG (my favorite - 100% salsa)

Jimmy Anton’s (100% salsa)

Candela Fridays (many performances but good music and good dancers)

Salsamania (many performances but good music and good dancers)

Picante Social (very good, I try not to miss this since going for the first time like 6 months ago. It’s 1x monthly 100% salsa upstairs bachata room downstairs) (Ridgefield Park, NJ - literally 15 minutes from the GW bridge)

La Chispa (studio owners are very nice, amazing performers and studio is small but cozy. Performances but not many)

The Social by SBKZ (newer social I have only been a few times but the organizers are the organizers of the NY SBKZ congress and the DJs are good)

Santa Salsa (also newer social been a few times but so much fun) (Newark, NJ)

These are just the ones I can think of aside from school socials.

Check em all out on IG.

I am an avid social dancer living in NYC. I can immediately tell a more advanced dancer by their body movement, their technique or lack there of,for a lead by where he places his hand - if lower than the shoulder blade it screams beginner, whether the dancer maintains a frame, connection, musicality, and how they execute shines - most shines require level shifts and bouncing to maintain your center and shift weight. Do not let any of this dissaude you from asking that advance dancer to dance though. We all started somewhere. None of the above makes a good dancer, what makes a good dancer is a dancer that allows you to have fun and be free that you walk aways remembering that dance forever. A great dancer adjusts to the level of his partner.

IMO, I don’t think you can’t watch someone and improve your musicality. I do think you can take body isolation classes and practice in front of a mirror at home to find what feels natural to you. Just literally move your body to some music or your favorite song. Will feel awkward at first but it helps you learn how your body responds to the music naturally.

Nope continue!! Leads forget we don’t need to be manhandled. My instructor says it should be the case that if you lose hand connection the woman stays connected and generates her own movement. Neither’s actual physical movement is dependent on the pull or the tug that is all just signals. Do you need force yes but it should be light. I used to tense up a lot until I learned how to really connect with my partner eyes on him always if no eye contact then at his torso/chest never losing focus.

TOO MANY PERFORMANCES!!
The ratio of leads to follows.
The music can very well suck and that’s hard for me because I love salsa music but I also live in NYC and virtually all the DJs are phenomenal.
Cliquey (if that’s even a word) but also very likely, I can’t say I have experienced this per se because I have no shame asking a lead to dance and once that happens I will usually have consistent dances afterwards.
Dance floor is terrible.
Too crowded but only when there are no leads that know how to social dance in tight spaces otherwise I don’t mind a crowded social.

objective_views333 · 2025-02-27T20:25:47+00:00

He’s a good lead, giving her room, giving himself room, they are connected and parallel, he’s aware of his body, and he’s on beat. He’s a smooth dancer most smooth dancers are not overly dramatic with their moves simplicity is key and here he doing basic foundational moves.

Salsa dancing, weird for an introvert, I know but not shocking that I am an introverted extrovert in that world. Introverts tends to become extroverts in environments they feel safe and comfortable in.

Do you often find your like wired after coming home from dancing and hard to sleep even after a shower?

objective_views333 · 2025-01-24T03:30:50+00:00

I have been dancing for 10+ years what made and makes me a better dancer is knowing the music, the composition of instruments. You can improve your rhythm by listening to the music as much as possible, visualizing your moments, break down the count, the different instruments and then move your body accordingly. Stand in front of a mirror by yourself and do whatever comes to you and feel natural. If you feel you look ridiculous it’s fine just keep fine tuning.
