weird... fingernails have taken on blackish-bluish hue... from ink on something i'm touching, i wonder? haven't ID'd what i'm handling today that's different from any other day... weird.

looks like my fingers are frozen blue, but they're not...
 
i really love the internet station "luxuria"... found it through windows media player radio tuner, and it has kept me company so many times when i've been stranded at work without my ipod... or when i just want some variation. great music to work to. love the vibe...
 
ny folks -

i'm thinkign about visiting a friend in nyc in the next couple of months. i've heard that its best to be clear in clubs that you are wanting to dance on-1, and i dont' have a problem with giving heads up to ladies that i'm asking them to dance on-1. but if i do that, will i still be able to have a good time or would i be one of those guys who will be turned down by most dancers ?
 
i bet you'll find a salsa thread where you're question will get tons of response, quix, from the peeps who frequent the clubs there. me, i haven't been, so... dunno. :D

i've heard so much about how snobby the on-2 community can be... and have certainly seen it. IMHO, tho, fwiw, i think it's the work of the follower to follower your lovely on-1 lead! i'd certainly be happy to. :D

that's sad to hear. the on-2 community is seattle, although very small and generally very advanced, always tends to wear a smile when an on-1 dancer asks one of them to dance. it ends up being a fiasco and the said on-1 dancer will usu. never ask again, it certainly doesn't lack in etiquette. the on-1 community makes up for that though by forgetting good manners :rolleyes:

if it was possible to lead in a way that will clearly take someone used to on-2 to dance on-1, many of us wouldn't ask such questions :) salsa, as in many other dances, is danced based on certain mutually agreed upon structural rules. the on-1/on-2 difference breaks one of the very fundamental structural rules about the dance in a subtle way that only very advanced dancers who have tried both can adapt from one to another seamlessly, and the rest will have a hard time making the switch. i've tried to follow on-2, so i can relate. So while I certainly expect someone who can dance both on-1 and on-2 to accomate the wishes of a guest in their city, I'd certainly understand when someone refuses me a dance because she really believes that she can't dance on-1 and keep her sanity also!

I was just trying to poll to see if there were many salseras in nyc who are ambidextrous, because if they are, then I might not be too disappointed.

i'd certainly be happy to.

i'd love to dance with you samina :) I often think that we need a DF dance camp. Maybe pick a city that many of us want to visit and have a get together. It will make for a lot of dancing, and much good socializing :)
