That's easy....bolero. I have to be in a rare mood to do this successfully. If I'm not in that mood, forget about it.

I now "feel" the music so well and when I'm dancing with a partner who feels it as well wonderful things happen. But, in keeping with the spirit of the thread I also don't really connect with Merengue."
I've really been feeling Rumba recently! I'm actually going to be taking an additional Rumba class this December becaue I'd like to learn more. (Gee, duh, why else would one take it. Shall we say I'm not being very poetic today. It must be late.

I guess it's in part, tied to having to endure watching that horrid corny Lawrence Welk Show as a youngin' and my lifelong dislike of corny, overblown Broadway showtues and musicals (Hello Dolly was my first toxic experience), the music just turns my stomach with its in-your-face corniness, it's that insistent whitebread cut-time (2/2) rhythm that GRATES on me (it was used A LOT in show tunes and the like). I don't think I'll EVER like this dance, just too many toxic associations with it. :headwall: :evil:"
Well, that's a bummer. I actually wasn't thrilled with this originally, but somehow decided to give it a try. Now I enjoy it very much! However, sometimes the music really isn't that good.
And then wrote: "Meringue: To me, the Latin equivalent of Quickstep. Cannot stand it, just toooo corny for me!"
Oooh! I never heard it called that before. Hmmm ... and I'm not a big meregue fan either.

Which ones are your favorites?
And then quoted DancePoet: "I have been learning a bit more Mambo, and have finally begun to appreciate more. I'm wondering if I will have the same experience when I take up some salsa."
And wrote: "So when is this happening then? :wink: :lol:"
As soon as I can fit it into my schedule. If you plan on making a trans-atlantic flight any time soon, I'll be fitting it in sooner.

Now if she had said "we may need a ballroom merengue haters club" I would have been the first in line to say "where do I sign up?" :wink:ShyDancer said:Ohh yes, I was just joking!

Ok, point taken. So how about a "vehement dislikers of ballroom merengue club," or a "have you ever seen anything more foolish than ballroom merengue club"?
