Very interesting and useful video. When I was learning salsa I once was "dancing" off beat/not in time to the music, and the lady I was with stopped, told me I was dancing off beat and walked off! Luckily the darkness of the dancefloor hid my shame and embarrassment 😂 Ever since then, the fear of dancing off beat has been with me when I danced salsa and modern jive/ceroc. On a couple of occasions ladies have put me back on beat when I strayed from the rhythm, and I have sometimes amused them with the story of the lady who walked off😂 I view the dancefloor as a Homeric battlefield where you look for an opponent/partner with whom to do the duel of dancing! And yes, you need to be thick skinned to cope with disappointment which occurs in the world of dancing in the same way as it occurs in the real world! PS keep dancing!
Now all you need is a sword lol
@@SalsaBailaProductions yes indeed, the purely metaphorical sword of having a large repertoire of great moves, to impress the ladies and suit all sorts of music!😂
we all started somewhere and somtimes people forget they also once started with basic steps... It has happened to me that a guy asked me to dance and he is a beginner. I just go with the flow. The guy keeps apologizing and I will answer "we are all here to learn and have fun so just relax and enjoy the night"
We need more people like you ;)
I agree with you when you say that some people are just rude. I've been the plus size,middle aged, beginner follower in a crowd of much younger,thinner,prettier follower beginners, so every type of rudeness,insidious or otherwise I've seen from leads. And only now, a year and a half later, when I can definitely dance better, is my social dancing experience begining to get better. SO, I have always made it a point to smile and dance with every partner I dance with and be particularly encouraging towards the nervous beginner leads, sometimes even surreptitiously bringing them back on to the beat while dancing 😅
Some days back ,someone I don't really remember dancing with told me that he danced his first social dance with me a few months ago, and that he remembers that I was very nice to him.
I think in the quest for dancing with "advanced" dancers in order to improve, many of us tend to forget that it's about "social" dancing and enjoying the party first .
Thanks for sharing your experience! Im glad youre sending good vibes in the salsa jungle we need more people like you;)
Just also want to point out that there is a difference with being a beginner and just doing the basic and that's all. Even the free classes before a social show a few turns and moves.
that being said, I've definitely dealt with a couple rejections from more advanced dancers in my journey. You know who you are; sit there rejecting all less advanced dancers and/or only dancing with the regulars.
My best experience was when I was only a couple weeks into dancing and barely knew anything other than turns and cross body, this absolute pro of a woman danced with me and in the middle of the dance floor told me exactly what to do to lead her into some of the best salsa moves I'd seen at the time. After that dance my gf was like "you never do that with me" and I laughed while pointing out that it was all my partner's doing. I've never forgotten that experience and to this day will always dance with even the most musically challenged.
I went thru a similar situation… dancing with pro that helps you when u start its like being in the clouds;)
I always appreciated the rejection versus the reluctant dance.
It's happened a few times, they said yes and the dance they looked so bored, it's crushing.
Versus, I ask them for a dance and they say 'are you advanced' i would say no, then they would say 'sorry, I want to dance with more advanced dancers'. It's a relief as a beginner dancer.
Too bad we have go thru this to get to those amazing dances;)
Great video ❤
At least she stuck around for the entire song!!
the only positive thing youre right ;)
I'm currently attending socials and luckily have not met anyone like this. I've taken 3 levels of LA style Salsa, been introduced to a number of moves and combinations but I cannot execute a single one properly so i don't try them as much. I danced with 3 girls and told them sorry if i am not fancy with the moves.....they replied don't worry you're doing great. I can dance Salsa i am just not too good at spinning and turns with a partner so that takes practice. A 70 yr old @ the socials i attend can pull moves bachata & Salsa...he doesn't do anything special he just knows how to lead & man!! the young girls were just milking it lol....i felt ashamed for myself..... I'll get there. Guys don't give up....practice with classmates even after your lessons.... it helps. LA style Salsa is great if you know what you're doing....
While we were dancing, a girl started a conversation with me "I just realized why I don't like you. . ." I tried to ignore it, but she continued: "You remind me of a very annoying friend." That's the girl that previous dance left me on the dance floor in the middle of the song.
When my friend was a beginner, a girl said to him after dancing "Ask me again when you learn to dance"
And of course, I had the same experience as a guy in your video. My first beginner class I kept doing the basic step in salsa, looking at the ceiling trying to remember a sequence, ANY sequence. She said "Will you turn me?" and I finally remembered something. I did it once again and she said "Is that all you know?". It wasn't. I knew two things that started the same way.
Girls are awesome! :D
wooooooow epic ;)
Yes I have. Oddly they don't remember. My first congress a women angrily walked away from me during the first workshop. It was "all levels". Well above my level.
And another asked me to dance, broke away did solo stuff (sub par) and after the dance I said she was way above my level. She gave me a curt smile and walked away.
The former, I danced with the next year at congress and she always seems me out. I checked her on it and denies doing it.
The latter, I didn't dance with for 5 years. I still don't have great connection or compatibility with her, but we are cordial.
I am dancing salsa with my wife almost 3 years, with just few hours in classes, the rest from internet, but when we are going to change partners, then we struggle a litt bit because is something new for us. What do you suggest 😮😮?
Here’s what i say to my students and im sharing it with u : if you want to dance with your partner/wife/gf thats great if you want to spend a great evening with her or him… if thats the intention then all good now if you wanna dance with someone else at some point i recommend switching partners because you acquire the adaptation skill:) the struggle is real at first but it gets easier over time… the wonderful thing is everyone is different so by dancing with many partners your lead will become way more clearer … so Mike i encourage you to continue and tolerate the discomfort;)
in the beginning. used to get slapped by chinese women in singapore and more than one woman just walked away as i could not get the counts right. Afte rone yeart of intensive courses and dancing , I am a petty advanced dancer and when the same women come asking i start dancing and then stop and then whow them towrds the door and just tell them that they are just not good enough . give it back to rude people
Karma in action ;)
It touches on the issue of what women like to dance. because it's the guy who still decides, and anyway most women want to lead (!)
In my limited experience in Salsa, so far, women love free-turns (freedom!) and most probably hair-brushes. Not to mention an attentive approach, imho
To your student who experienced that: No worry bro! ! Keep learning and social dancing. There will be a point where you will be an advanced dancer and ladies will ask you to dance. Rejections will be much easier to handle.
I have been dancing more than 14 years and I have many similar stories to tell 😅
At first yes, they might be difficult...then, the dynamics shift.
The dance community is not a utopia, it has the same characters we meet everywhere else And some girls will act like divas it is okay it is not my problem as a leader I just make a note not to ask them again. It is better to avoid their negativity.
I once had a woman at a congress reject me because I was a beginner on2. She asked me after I asked her to dance, "do you dance on 2?" I said, I'm a beginner and rejected me offer to dance. She then proceeded to dance with someone else NOT ON2!
When I was a beginner couple girls show me the face.. I never ask them ever again.. today girls come to me to dance salsa and they are standing watching ..and some girls thinks they are so good and doing all fancy thing and looking so foolish and thinks they are so advance I just laugh at them and never ask them .. i rather dance with a beginners all night with good connection rather than these divas...
Right on !
I've mostly done social dancing and consider myself intermediate (definitely not a pro); I prefer beginners as they are more fun to dance with especially when you make them look like pros in front of their friends. They love it and you get genuine smiles. Also, I guess it's easier for a guy/leader to dance with a beginner than a follower. I cannot stand the "pros" that are too busy styling and counting the steps in their heads to 'feel' the music playing; they bore me to death. Mind you I will still dance with them as I try to dance with everyone that wants to dance.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I always said that connection can be found everywhere regardless of level @@kingindy
I actually know a lady like this. She will tell people "we've all sucked at some point."
This is not uncommon at all. Many women have no problem looking board and giving attitude when dancing with a man who may be a beginner. To the men that deal with this, try to remember that you are not there for them, you are there to learn. If you are consistent, the day will come when you are are more intermediate dancer, and these same women will be asking you to dance. You can then choose how you want to respond...
I never dance with someone again when I get better if the gave me shade. And I'm not talking about "maybe they are just having a bad day" or whatever. I'm always having a bad day lol. I'm never like that.
@@shaolin1derpalm I understand, I certainly remember each and every woman that gave me attitude when I was first learning.
