I’m fascinated by this idea of the dirt or filth in the dance. Tango Mugre – Leo y Flor Tango The notion that on top of the technical bits there can also be this drive to be gritty and emotional and more “street”. I don’t hear a lot of the instructors mention or work with the emotional...

Apparently there was a Facebook post by a lady that travelled to Buenos Aires from Spain that sparked a bit of debate online about expectations of Tango in Buenos Aires and how disappointed she was: English Spanish Source: Eva Masegosa Antolin I found it after the discussion here What...

Would love to hear what you like to wear to milongas and practicas, specially around outfits and footwear. But even practical things like fans, eyeglass holders, socks. What brands of shoes do you like? How did you find them? Do you wear different things to practicas than to a milonga? Are...

Lately I’ve been finding myself getting people dances. A female friend at a tango event saying she’s not getting enough dances or is shy, casually mention her to a more experienced dancer or outright introduce them to her. Chatting with another lead at a salsa event with just way too many leads...

I've been learning tango for two years on and off and have just started going out to more milongas and practicas. Since I don't have a local community I drive out to two nearby cities to learn and practice. I've noticed this weird thing in the smaller tango community with almost no new beginner...

Does anyone have strong opinions on this school in Buenos Aires? I'm an absolute novice that would be interested in a Tango immersion program and found this online. Was looking at it as a vacation / visit Argentina / immersion program. I don't expect to become an expert coming out of it but was...

Does anyone have suggestions on finding practice partners outside of the traditional lessons / performance group route?

Hiya Dance Forums, It's been a while... I've spent a little time building a Facebook application for dancers, it's not quite ready yet, but I would like to get some suggestions from dancers about the content. Assuming you have a facebook account, you can install the app at...

Let's say that you had to teach an informal salsa class to people that are mostly beginners who would like to be exposed to all aspects of the dance )( dips, musicality, LA Style, Rueda, technique, shines, leading and following, etc ), what would you teach? How would you put it together? Do...

Can't translate the word, any ideas ( It's not immersion, that means to dip into water ).

Mana, probably one of the most popular pop Mexican bands, is about to release album #9 - Amar es Combatir. You can already find it in some of the p2p sites. For all of you who don't know them, they're Mexico's version of the Police / Rolling Stones. They were the original authors of many...

DF Chatroom? What do you guys think of chatrooms? would something like a DF chatroom work? Or would it be a complete waste of time. I am thinking of something free and without Java like http://www.shoutmix.com/ or http://www.chatcreator.com/

Ever notice that the 'pure' salsa songs that you listen to and dance to every night are not the ones included in movie soundtracks? In Havanna Nights, all the songs included were the latin fusion bands like Yerba Buena and Orishas. Even though it was a movie about cuban dance, they got guys...

Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances. — Maya Angelou I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around. — Fred Astaire A dance is a...

We had a marriage thread, we had a shaving thread, we are missing... the SEX thread. How young? With how many? What species? Blah blah blah. Is it only with loved ones? One night stands? Discuss.

Ever see your beliefs and attitudes change after you started dancing? As some people have pointed out before, dancing is sometimes seen as sinful, or something that should be repressed. I admit that before I started salsa dancing, I didn't think too much of going to bars at night, but now...

So there some cultures have this whole dancing things down pat. Dancing is part of life, and the music is around you all the time. Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc. The music is just blasting from windows and everyone thinks they can dance. I would say the United States was probably a dancing...
