Funny story: three of the pros my partner has worked with have all told him he needs to skip upper body day. Too much muscle gets in the way, they tell him.

These are serious allegations. I can't help but wonder what meeting just happened, what decision just got made, that caused Ann and Irina to resign within a day of one another. I've been to the site to see meeting minutes, and the most recent meeting minutes are from March.

For hair, Boyko is $90-$110, depending on the comp. Not sure about makeup. I've paid Purple Tiger $75 for hair. I know there was an upcharge for eyelashes.

I respect our mods too much to go here. ;):p

Fill these blanks with words that relate to any occupation, for example: doctors, teachers, EMTs, lawyers, professors, managers, miners, physical therapists, bank tellers, engineeers, etc. Would we say: "You are not granted pro status just because you do it for a living. You earn it" in regard...

I’ve been following this post because I really love your enthusiasm, and anyone who loves to dance as much as you appear to is obviously in good company. :) But I’d like to caution you on this goal you have right here. It is so beyond your control – it’s beyond all of our control. While yes...

I agree, @JudeMorrigan - anything that's a liability to competing globally doesn't serve the "mission." That being said... We want top ams to compete globally, so who will make up the "pro" in the "pro division" then? If the potential purpose of this division is to create a judging pipeline -...

If the NDCA can hold adjudicators hostage, why can't they do the same to competitors, who also have to register with NDCA?

Are the pros going to turn out to be those couples who win champ, and then at some point choose stay with USAD's pro division? For example, Daniel Tran and Taylor Kinney won champ rhythm, then turned pro and went to NDCA events. Or are the pros going to turn out to be those (few) individuals...

I can't help but wonder who the pros will turn out to be.

Anyone have any idea what this "new division" is actually going to do, or be comprised of, or what purpose it will serve? Anyone have any suggestions they're hoping it will do or provide?

Sania's advice is the best advice - me, in a pinch, I took a sponge and used my foundation. Had I had the time, I would have color matched at an art store. (Sidebar: That's yet another reason I stopped with Aida - Russia is too dang far away. Once, an exchange took three months. NOPE!)

"The voices in your head" Oh, you mean Brenda? "Wow, yeah, you're not doing that right. When your coach does it, she's way more flexible in the back than you are. You'll never get that right. Oh, you're going to try? Aw, look at you! /baby voice/ You're twy-ing!" "Haven't you had, like, four...

When my non-ballroom friends ask me if I watch that show (ugh... that question) I tell them I call that show "Dragging the Stars Around the Floor." :D

Ask him what he means by "involved." If it's that he'd like to be kept in the loop about what you are working on, that seems fair. For instance, in high school, my math teacher told me what to work on with my math tutor. But if your instructor expects to be a part of the lesson with the female...

I wore my Aidas for three months, on average ten hours a week, before the heel cup started showing wear and the straps got soft. That's a lot of wear. I think it really will depend on how much you're wearing the shoe.

We use Ballroom Beats for rhythm. BB has contemporary and traditional songs. Love it. Sure, it's a subscription service, but the music changes periodically and the tempos are always correct and varied - sometimes a rumba will be 32 bpm and then the next one on the list will be a 36. Keeps us...

For Renata to have lost by literally 1 vote and then have this role vacant three months later frustrates me to no end. I know nothing about Mr. Davies' situation, and I do hope his resignation isn't for health reasons, but the entire time I've belonged to this organization it's been fraught with...

A couple of years ago, a former instructor at the independent studio where I practice told me they earned $5 per student in the group class.

I've signed up for a combination group class where both silver-level smooth and rhythm dances get taught in one hour. I've found the smooth steps hard to accomplish in my latin sandals, so I'd like to get a pair of practice/teaching shoes to take this class in. I wear a 3 in a Supadance style...
