This blog was started, because I've come to realize that I've been telling my students a lot of things. Useful experience, lessons that I've learnt the hard way, etc. while teaching Salsa.

All those stuff were never properly recorded. I did write some articles but I guess they were lost in some obscure corner now.

Hopefully with this blog, .... those information/tips can be put to better use.

(also, please pardon my broken English / Singlish.... I prefer to be 'informal' when writing, hopefully people can still understand what I'll be writing. I hope none of these posts sound too obnoxious or arrogant. Do feel free to post your comments as well. :P)

Training versus social dancing

There is a difference between a training and social dancing.

While training and practising, we will try to push ourselves beyond the comfort zone. Focus is on improvement and there will be many awkward moments where things doesn't work, etc. We'll just laugh it off and try again (while trying to figure out what went wrong)

But while social dancing, the focus is on enjoying the dance/experience. Taking care of the girl, charming her, etc. Thus we usually stay WITHIN the comfort zone and will only push the envelop if the follow enjoys that.
