The results have been anything but the same. The rest of the world is appalled at our handling of it. It’s part of the reason they are restricting travel from the US to the EU. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/30/europe/european-union-travel-us-graphic-intl/index.html

I know many competitive dancers who’ve talked and have said with everything they’ve seen going on in the world - the idea of spending 30k a year on dancing seems ridiculous now.

I’m in Georgia where studios are opening... nope. Nope. Nope. Not me. Not anytime soon. Especially because I think we’ve opened too early and I’m waiting for the second wave.

They do this because of teachers mostly. And money. If they lumped them all together, then a pro-am teacher could only take one student to a comp at a time. For example- my teacher currently has 3 silver b smooth students. Those various levels of silver in the single dances allows us each to...

Safe for YOU. But you can still

If there’s anything like social distancing in place, even as a recommendation, I’m sorry, but classes at 6feet away? That doesn’t count in and out of the studio, the lobby area, etc. it’s just not reasonable. And if you have to wear masks, you have no business switching partners and social...

Based on all that we’ve seen, read and the guidance we’ve been given, I’ve instructed all events in my organization nationwide through e end of May to be rescheduled to late summer or early fall.

I work in National large events all over the country. I’ve spend the last week in the most challenging professional situation of my life- meetings with CDC, WHO mass gathering alerts, advisories on immunocompromised peoples... It is NOT an overreaction. The only way to keep “a significant...

ME TOO!! I now wear them every day and have for years now. Also excellent - dashing diva... can get at ulta or Sally’s

And sometimes it depends on the teacher. Top independent pros actually make more than many of their students.

One thing to know- NDCA and USA dance have VERY different ages/skill levels/multi-dance structure. Also, this is a great conversation for your pro. They will explain everything to you.

This is a very common practice in other countries. In Argentina, for example, they are called taxi dancers.

Ever tried dance sneakers? I love them! Split soles, usually a super cool spot on the bottom to make turns AMAZING! https://www.lorettasdance.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/capezio-rockit-dance-sneakers.jpg

I’ve managed to add almost 3/4 in across with the stretcher- after I already have Aida triple wides.

I agree with above. My suggestion is to do some lessons with a female pro. First of all, you’ll find you’ll improve a lot faster which will make dancing with your wife more enjoyable for the both of you, and then you’ll probably understand why she likes it- you just get better faster.

Yep, because there’s some leather underneath the station on the straps over your toe box. I have satin aidas and have been doing it this way for years!

Actually, those are still looser than my shoes look when I first get them. I have really wide feet so in order to get the length right, I practically have to pry them in at first. The best thing is to go to amazon and get a high heeled shoe stretcher and some stretch spray. Spray the...

Miari does great practice wear. They’re online but based in nyc- not sure if they have a showroom, but you could always reach out and ask!

I mean, a lot of competitions already do a carribean mix or nightclub mix with salsa merengue, and bachata. It’s just not hotly contested.

It’s not as big as it was back in the day, but better than it was when there was other ownership. It’s not a bad local comp.
