very interesting.
I think getting familiar with a few of the songs (to begin with) would be a great idea. I don't plan on being stuck to a routine or only having a few songs that I know, and that I can dance to. But at first, I need something solid to build with: familiarity with a few songs.
Also, I recognize the need to lead. I can kind of do it, but, I definitely need to get better. I had this one friend of mine trying to show me how to salsa, and his lead was amazing! I knew what to do, without knowing how to salsa! I can't explain it, but I want to be like that.
But here's a problem: in the beginning, I will have to allow the girl to lead me, so I learn what the moves are. But, I'm adventurous, and willing to try things out, so I'll start taking the lead. SOMETIMES, though, the girl I'm dancing with doesn't seem to want to relinquish the lead. What's up with that?
its hard for some girls to totally follow. sometimes, they are used to dancing with one person. i once had an opportunity to dance with a professional swing dancer, who spent most time dancing a choreographed routine with his partner. when i danced with him it was really comical, bc i wasnt going to lead and neither was he apparently. it was still fun.
i can lead a little, like helping my lead to stay on beat. some guys seem to have big problems with this. but i dont like to really lead. part of the fun of dancing for me is the surprise of not knowing what is going to happen next. plus, id rather spin -alot- and know someone else has my back.
ok seriously, now you're taking the fun out of it...
wait, Pat, why!? what did I do?
HAHAHAHA! Todd i'm kidding, it's just dancing, don't think, just dance...Listen to the rythm..
ooh, miami sound machine?
