This one was the worst so far
#me too#got hit with the combo of having a performance the weekend before#and my partner being sick#so basically#we didn’t practice at all#got beat by ppl we have beat before#did ass at the biggest comp of the year in open#I cried#they all told me to get over it#very tragic

Mistigram: oom pa pa, oom pa pa! Other days you can dance your rhumba and merengue, or krump if you're so inclined, but today you need to honour the occasion spelled out in AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen here and observe "Dance the Waltz Day".

dance sports are so silly bc youve got the most beautiful people all dressed up shiny clothes greasy hair doing a passionate rumba and they're just kind of. on a handball court
#LITERALLYYYY#once I went to a comp where we were on the lower portion of like a 2 story gym? but the top was like loft style#so there was just ppl working out and I could watch them while I danced and they were probably watching me too#ballroom dancing#ballroom dance

ballroom baddies do yall have any good yt channels to help with latin technique bc I reallyyyy wanna get better at cha cha and rumba but it’s a struggle out here (those hips do be lying 😔👍)
#I haven’t watched a TON of his videos#but Oleg Astakhov is someone who shows up a lot and might be worth checking out#I also understand the Latin struggle#as a smooth dancer it feels so impossible lmfao

Just do it! Social dancing in general is very friendly and welcoming, and lots of people there go with the goal of meeting people and making new friends, alongside dancing. I help run a weekly wcs social and the ppl who I see come in alone typically have no problems meeting ppl and spending the night dancing. Nobody is gonna be weirded out if you talk to them or ask them to dance, and even if you just do a lesson and no social, you can still meet people and become familiar with them until you’re comfortable enough to go social after! ALSO if you are near a college, see if they are hosting any social dancing events or lessons! A lot of collegiate ballroom teams (at least where I’m from) tend to host beginner lessons or socials that are open to the public :)
the way i wanna learn how to dance soooo badly but i would feel SO awkward going to classes without a partner as a built-in friend/moral support
#west coast swing#wcs#ballroom dancing#v spins#I will always encourage ppl to go social dancing lmao#as a fellow aroace I understand how it soothes the soul

Girl math is not wanting to spend $150 to rent a competition gown so you handmake a worse one for almost that much in materials plus so many hours and every shred of sanity you have left
