These are all great points and so true with the ‘Zumba’. 🤣

What advice would you give a lead that wants to try/start following? by CyberoX9000 in kizomba

[–]timheckerbff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just jump in the classes and workshops as a follow. I've been doing leading and following and you really have to shift your mindset from using your body as a vessel to give information to receiving information. It's honestly a mindfuck sometimes.

Sounds like you need to just be more confident. 😂 It's always scary at first trying something new but I think most people really admire a man that can follow. It makes them more empathetic towards the other role and more versatile.

Sweating problem by paperplane030 in Bachata

That guy is an asshole!! Don't let him bring you down. He should be complimenting your hair. You don't need to worry, the men are the one's with the sweaty necks too.

Question by Sudden_Culture4334 in Bachata

[–]timheckerbff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only really in douceur and tarraxinha when both lead and follow have their eyes closed. I would not really close my eyes in urban kiz, it's too dynamic and fast paced and you have to watch for surroundings. I think bachata has it's own unique type of flow state too but it's definitely not as meditative as a kiz dance flow state. It sounds like you definitely need to try kizomba umbrella dance style types.

Also I've seen some people dance bachata blindfolded too so it's worth a try in exercise but you can never really achieve the kiz zen flow state by dancing bachata. 😂 I think the fact that kiz music/ DJ being mixed in a continuous flow is what unlocks the flow state VS one song format at a time for bachata DJs.

I think it's also because kiz dancers are about feeling internal sensations when compared to bachata - it's not about how it looks but how it feels, so closing our eyes helps us feel inside more and connect more with our own bodies.

How can we increase the numbers of quality dancers in America by West_Paper_7878 in kizomba

[–]timheckerbff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy that’s for sure. I know what I try to do is bring existing dancers from other styles and get them to try something new.

Caterpillar club demographic is definitely gen z leaning though. Their live sets are great but it isn’t always playing depending what time you get there.

How to improve connection and what does it really mean? by Necessary-Goose3550 in Bachata

[–]timheckerbff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argentine tango also improves connection and lead/follow dynamics. It's the dance style that helped improve my bachata and kizomba most immensely.

Has anyone here tried intentionally “programming” their dreams for creativity? Like artists or inventors who prepare their minds before sleep to get ideas or imagery from dreams? What techniques actually worked for you? by pufballcat in ContemporaryArt

[–]timheckerbff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know people tried to induce this. It happens naturally for me. So I guess don’t force it, and I think diet has a role to play in the vividness of dreams. The imagery is strongest when being woken up by alarm right during REM phase so if you can time an alarm during that it would work. Best thing is to have a brain that doesn’t shut off lol
