Great tips! When I find a connection the dance becomes almost meditative for me. It's one of the reasons why I really enjoy partner dancing: fully entering the present moment.
Great tips something I'm working on with my partner! I noticed myself I do listen to follower naturally finding playful middle ground! Easier to do with experience dancer and of course on both sides. I've always been truthful natural light leader , in the beginning I took ballroom lol,🇮🇪🇨🇦
This is the most comprehensive video I've found about connecting on the dance floor. You cover so much: hands, centre, taking responsibility for your own role, eyes, smile, emotion. Really, very useful for a beginner. Some of these things I wouldn't even know to ask a teacher about and would just blunder through it otherwise.
So much truth in this video. You are so right in positivity. Smiling to show appreciation that somebody is dancing with you, especially when you are both feeling the music, leads to spread of positivity when you return to your friends after the dance. And that is one of the reasons I love dancing so much
Hi Rasa, I am new to your channel and to salsa dancing! I went to my first social this past weekend and these tips are so helpful, I love your content and your sense of humor. Thank you for sharing your valuable insights and techniques with us!
Yes Rasa - Great tips; without connection & feeling I simply struggle to dance or think of moves & yet with that connection I don't need to think because I'm IN the dance & the dance flows. Playfulness is the best part for sure.
Thank you Rasa. What are your thoughts on when some leaders in salsa lead with holding wrists and tend to do so through majority of the dance. Do they improve their control this way and does this indicate flaws in my following? It doesn't really feel nice, kind of restricting really. (I am at improvers level)
Leading with the wrist is common especially in bachata but also salsa. It def should not be done threw majority of the dance! If this happens to you with most guys maybe the connection in your fingertips is too weak, but if it happens only with few guys, then there might be smth up with them 😅
Fantastic Rasa, this is perfect especially following the last video telling me how to try and relax more whilst dancing/practice dancing. Thanks again, x
Thank you for posting - so true! Essential between-the-lines stuff for a positive dance experience. And no, it's not too much to ask for some genuine human connection, for the duration of one song only! 😊 If it's too scary, you are free to escape immediately afterwards 😅
