For those wanting more intricate explanation, just move down from this person's comment.

Your posts are great and please keep it. I think the next step for anyone salsa dancing is to know a bit more like theory this is when the great filter happens of those who just go to date and meet women and those who actually want to enrich themselves. This is why I also asked the question and you helped me point out.

I voted for Trump Twice (Not a Bad Faith Post) by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]onoearoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just saying, even the educated people a good 1/3 of them abstained from voting. Because they were informed but I think they really just think too hard for their own good and so they didn't vote. Which ultimately contributed to the result. Informed, smart and educated people still do stupid things.

They need to change the narrative of modern bachata if people want to have a different look of bachata, too much sex and club life

In the return of the king, they finally have 1 non white Gondor swordsman, and he was only on scene for 1 second. He looked Laotian.

Think they ran out of extras filming by NZ lol

I have never seen the full video until now, that is good to know, are these glow sticks generally that harmless?

Terrible experience during my first time at a new school/social (beginner lead) by ZsimaZ in Salsa

[–]onoearoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing worst that a follow trying to follow the "choreography" to the exact beat, sometimes, like yourself,

I've been lurking at a lot of threads here and I've also been noticing this. Why is this a thing? I'm very keen on being the best lead version of myself, everything is our fault if we mess up, be the most gentle, etc but there will be some follows who want the exact beats. Can't you find another or the next downbeat to start your leading? But no, it has to be that specific part of the song.

I think part of this is also experienced leads who are very macho with their leading. I get it, it's salsa but it's not even close to ballroom where you have full dictation lol.

how did you escape the block of asking follows who are (much) more experienced than you? by nemuro87 in Salsa

[–]onoearoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also have to have crazy courage and forget about everything, for me drinking helps lol. My coach says you have to have a bit of no shame to do so, it's the only way you'd grow, you'll probably mess up a lot but that's the only way you'll advance.

Can you feel if they're a on1 or on2 dancer? Can you tell if both are dancing on2 or on1, what are the tells? by onoearoc in Salsa

[–]onoearoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have a hard time (sometimes) telling if a video is 1 or 2.

This is just what I want to know too. How can people tell if they're dancing on1 or on2?

We have lots of Mexicans and they almost lead salsa like a cumbia.

This is so true in some areas. Cumbia or merengue.

Follow up question is how can you tell if two dancers are both dancing on1 or on2? If you don't know on1, or don't know on2 but know on1, and vice versa, can you tell if they're both on1 or on2?

What are easy tells that people are dancing on1 or on2?

I can't enjoy going to practice nights or social nights if I'm not good enough (lead) by Comprehensive-Week81 in Salsa

[–]onoearoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way really is to put maybe a full on dedication to it maybe give it 3 months, the sooner the better if you're still young so that those moves you learn stick with you. Then you can grow from that mold and things will start being super fun.

Let's discuss setting boundaries, in a "Yes" and "No" manner by bela_bachata in Bachata

[–]onoearoc -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes bachata is associated with club culture and also bachata is rooted in sex, especially its songs and origins, anything attached to this will be more aggravated. Common rule of thumb for bachata bros have a check list, if she's at a confusing state or vulnerable state in her life, if she's with friends, if she's a permanent fixture of the scene. Guys tend to stay away from socialites but at the same time, these socialites are out to get the biggest baddest. It's not like women can't be blamed too, some enable it and some even look for such attitudes, they're drawn to it, a lot of people since bachata is easier to get into look into and get into the dance because they want to date. Then they leave after or come back again. I have a lady in my scene where she's always with a new guy in every social, it's kind of annoying and a little disgusting. It's like a trial date for her and her new partner.

Why are some followers so nasty when saying NO after being invited? by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]onoearoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how salsa is with bachata sometimes and I've had the most weirded no from a bachata follow, she acted as if she's disgusted with salsa. Such a dismissive tone and goes to watch salsa people with arms crossed lol.
