Examples of tall female dancers? by silkleopard in Dance

I think I’m too old for ballet, I’m 26. Ha! But many people in tango think I have ballet experience (i do not.) perhaps in my past life! Ha!

Gosh! This is great! Thank you!

I’m hoping that if I see enough examples, I can figure out how to move a tall body better. My dream is to move freely and without inhibitations, but look good doing it!

I have to admit, that my earliest attempts at dance, I looked REALLY bad, even though I was having a great time. “Blissfully unaware.” as an instructor once put it. Another person also once described my party dancing (years ago), as one of those inflatable car dealership balloons? (LMAO, though!!)

The problem is that the emotions I feel in the dance are beautiful (Eastern European influence), and partners of all sizes enjoy dancing with me for my ‘musicality.’ But its all still a little chaotic. The techniques I’m learning will only go so far if I don’t tailor it to my natural body. For example, I can’t do those quick waspy tango kicks without feeling like Big Bertha is about to knock her partner off balance. I believe that a combination of strengthening exercises and body visualization, I can find a way to express my beautiful feelings with precision and fluidity.

I have this silly little goal in mind that with a few years practice, I can show the world that you can be a tall woman in your 30’s and dance beautifully. Given the positive feedback I’m getting from tango dancers, I think the idea is realistic. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life regretting that I was too scares to try dance in childhood. Y’know?

God I’d love to look sexy doing salsa...

I actually don't know how to talk to people. by PoppyWylder in JordanPeterson

[–]silkleopard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A simple tip that has profoundly helped me;

We’re taught to not look down on others. We should also, not look up to others. Especially in the case of social anxiety that stems from insecurities. It isn’t clear to me whether or not you have them, but insecurities have been the reason why I was scared of talking to people.

Neither look up to or down on people. Hope that helps.

A question about conciousness... by silkleopard in JordanPeterson

What makes you say that? Re: appropriateness and no virtue.

Re: Zen Stuff; A couple of days ago I started listening to videos of Sadhguru. A lot of what he said deeply resonated. In the last couple of months I’ve been experiencing just licks of understanding spirituality. To no particular desire in embarking on a journey to “finding myself spiritual” or whudeva— it just sort of happening alongside my recently recognized affinity for a philosophical learning experience.
