I like how she has to force herself to look bored in the first one but still can't help smiling- it's impossible to dance salsa and not be happy at the same time! xP
Tie your hair. Guys will never say this to you face-to-face. No matter how funny chainsaw is represented in this video, I had to go to the eye doctor after a dance with one of them.
You need to make a video on the worst salsa couples to complete the trilogy. Here's some: - Big backsteppers - Couple unaware of surroundings - Super show offs - Overly sensual couple
Hilarious :D Though for the "reject" one I politely disagree. We have one salsa club in my city so you know most people's dancing. I used to say yes even to people I know I don't like dancing with (those that always get too close/ smell of alcohol/don't follow the rhythm/etc). It took me a lot of courage to start rejecting them but it's worth it!! Now they don't invite me to dance and parties are more enjoyable.
Thanks for the comment;) i completly are with you on that one... the message is definitly not that people should do that or not... but more to caricature a situation that every beginner man went thru at least once when he started to dance.
I definitely understand and support the reason for rejecting as "I don't like dancing with that person" rather than "I reject often, I'm not obligated to dance with anyone" = "I'm too good for you". But in both cases at least we avoid seeing two people dancing and one looking clearly uncomfortable. After going to classes and having no choice but to dance with some "I'm bored" ones and also "'Lady leaders", I have lost some love for dancing and so I will always appreciate a time-saving "no" or a quick partner change than a forced "yes". There are a lot of partners to dance around, different levels, attitudes, interests so better to invest on those that match with what each one is looking for.
You were not likely as good of a dancer when you started as you are now, yet people danced with you to let you have fun and to learn. If someone is invading your space, or drunk that is different from not being able to hold the beat. If you won't dance with people who are learning you are not being considerate of others. Everyone has to practice to get better, and people have helped you.
Hi David, I agree with you. I am fine with people who want to learn, they are usually friendly and respectful. What I had in mind was a very particular sort of dancers. They never went to classes, confidently go into fancy moves and spins without a consistent basic step (often switch if they start with their right or left leg and usually go faster than the beat and spin you when you are least ready). They are not trying to learn because their idea of dancing is "followers should follow the leader not the music" (exact words). End of rant.
Or the ones that sweat a whole lot, which makes it even worse because it's not only stiff from the liquid, but also salty because, well, it's sweat. My eyes get watery just remembering that.
I'm very beginner and i'm unfortunately the chainsaw (i consider to cut my hair now ^^) and I had the wardrobe malfunction once with the skirt turning too much (i learned the lesson now) ... anyway i don't know how your video appeared in my suggestions but i loved it :):):)
a. I always remember all the girls who danced with me when I was a beginner. I owe them a lot. Thank you. Especially because of the weird 3:1 male:female ratio in Silicon Valley. b. I always dance with beginners; I remember how it was for me. c. Rude rejections: I just don't ask again. Sometimes I forget and ask them some other night and then I smack myself. Sometimes I remember in the middle of a dance but keep on dancing ... d. The most enjoyable dancers I have danced with? Ladies who dance with everyone (creeps excepted obviously). They can range from beginners to experts; their level is not important to me. I have a lot of respect for them because they take the time and effort to help less accomplished dancers and are able to calibrate their dancing appropriately. e. Flying hair is fine except once it went in my mouth ... it led to a funny chain of events.
Dance floor brings out the type of human you are is what i have found . Really met many ( dont know all their names ) dancing in many countries as a beginner and some women are so nice and amazing and its a pleasure to dance with . Especially in malaysia and some latin americans . Some people on the other hand are obnoxious and i avoid them . I can understand what you wrote very well . I am not an expert dancer but could really dance and enjoy as well as make most of my partners happy .
Once at a salsa conference in San Francisco, my follow-a stranger-had a wardrobe malfunction and one of her “ladies” popped out. She didn’t notice. I went to closed position and told her to her ear what had happened. She just pulled me closer so that my body was covering her and my face was on her shoulder so I couldn’t see anything while she fixed the situation. She thanked me for telling her and we continued dancing.
Ha! Had something similar happen to a follower of mine once. Suddenly both straps that supported the dress on her shoulders were gone, so I stuck to her kizomba like to keep that dress in place and I danced us out of the room so she could take care of it in some dark hidden corner of the place.
I was raised dancing salsa as it's part of my culture- I never went to a formal class. I learned to feel the music, know the basic step and follow. I have had a couple of guys who learned from formal classes in the U.S. get really nitpick-y about details of how I was dancing (also shown as the teacher in the other video). There is no one strict way to dance salsa, so we need to be open minded about other ways people dance. It's so much about just getting in tune with the other person and having fun. P.S. the videos are excellent and hilarious, I just feel strongly about this and reading the comments compelled me to share.
@@bennysum8252 it does, that’s what I’m saying, you can learn to lead and flow, but these ballroom people often get caught up in the technicality of it. It’s been a bad experience for me and other latinos I know.
@@bennysum8252 i hadn’t heard this before, so i quickly looked it up: “Musically, Salsa has its roots firmly based in the Afro-Spanish musical traditions of Cuba but its worldwide popularity should be attributed to the Puerto Ricans of New York.” Sounds like both are historically important.

My family and I are watching it again . My daughter just did the overstyler and fell down the stairs 🤣😂🤣😂she's ok. We all can't stop laughing . Very funny!
I consider myself between an intermediate to advanced salsa dancer and I've been stuck with the "bored dancer". Seriously deflates my evening even to point of pissing me off.
There’s often a good reason to reject certain leads. I really don’t like turning a dance down or risking offending anyone but I have said yes to leads who are rough and physically inconsiderate with me and I have been injured in the process, I have known of follows who had to end their dancing career due to these leads. I’m sorry but everyone has a right to say no, it’s their prerogative who they want to dance with. They are few, but some leads can make follows feel just plain uncomfortable-for instance the “creepy comment” leads or the drenched in sweat and body odour leads. Some people are just plain unpleasant to be around and we don’t owe anyone anything beyond common curtesy-and that goes both ways.
Yeah I agree with you - I'm a middle aged man,but I reject any women over 30 - I don't find them attractive to dance with no matter how good they dance! Same goes for fat women.
I thought we were on the same page? Didn't you just state that "everyone has a right to say no" and " we don’t owe anyone anything"? You must be over 30 or fat...or both. As you can see - it does go both ways...and they older you get the more it IT will be going your way!
user7897 you are entitled to say no for any reason, your reasoning make you a nasty person, and someone most would prefer to avoid, likely of any age or size if they knew your thinking. I’m sure many have picked up on your creepy attitude, but you go ahead do you bud, I could not care less 😉
It's good you don't care...When men reject you women, they suddenly become a nasty person,a creep...and I didn't want to dance with him anyway...hahah! Oh yeah, I forgot - only you entitled to have an opinion and preference!
Great couple. Hilarious. Great enactment. They are naturals i laughed all the way thru.. i think i got a little of each if you catch me at the right time 😜 lol.
There was a man who would harass me at a weekly dance social with invitations dance after dance and be very persistent even after I told him I do not wish to dance exclusively with one person the whole night. He even trying to follow me on my commute home one time. One day I finally got the courage to tell him outright that I would not be dancing with him and the next guy that asked me to dance told me he saw me reject the first guy and that it was rude. HE KNEW NOTHING OF HOW HE WAS HARASSING ME FOR WEEKS! Needless to say I did not return to that place after that.
Its definitly not rude to say no to a guy... especially in your situation... this clip is a caricature of a situation most guys went thru. its a beginners man’s shocker... its not so much the No but the way it happens...thanks for sharing your thoughts;)
Haha, you are right. Yeah, my heart does go out to all the guys that get a "no" simply because they are beginners or not on the same level. We all start somewhere and need practice to work our way up~
Some women are uncomfortable with social situations: A girl was taking group classes, 2 hours a night 5 days a week, was going to socials once a week for about 2 months. She was reasonably friendly, not dating anyone, then one day a guy asked her out, it was the only class he came to, he was not a regular. she disappeared and I bumped into her at a club a year later, said she felt so uncomfortable refusing him she stopped coming to class for fear of having to face him again. I told her he never came to class again either for fear of having to face a girl that turned him down, he wasn't obnoxious or a freak, sometimes you ask thinking you may never see the person again and don't want to miss your chance.
Is women like you that shouldn’t be part of the dance community. Because I myself never turn down women to dance even if they really suck. I tried my best to help them but if that man was stalking you and he would harass you then that’s a different story. But I hated how when I was a beginner and trying to get better some women would reject me the next week or party. How in the hell am I supposed to get better if that kept happening.?
Guys, you made me laugh so hard. The facial expressions, the gestures, sooooo gud. Saw the first part was not disappointed, came here for more, ended up laughing on the ground. Thank you
you forgot the girls who sweat allot and don't hold up there hair and shower everyone on the dance floor aka the lawn sprinkler and the one that come to dance from work with out showering and smell horrible we call them las sorrillitas or the little skunks.
Of course everyone should shower, deodorant, tooth scrub, and everything to be clean if they are going to be dancing with various people. I brought a clean shirt to change into for the dance class, because I was out running around a few hours right before. I can't help being sweaty 30 mins into the class, but at least I don't stink.
Super cool! This reminds me to the girl yesterday: she really had this overstyling behavior. Finally it was the easiest way to dance together if I introduce a turn and wait for the next 5 minutes until she ended her style and then initiate the next basic dance move...wait another 5 minutes...
I agree with all except “The Rejector”. I generally dance with anyone who asks but if he’s a Creeper on the dance floor (staring into your soul, every move is sexy, smells your hair when dance) or he’s off balance/offbeat/doesn’t know how to support you while trying to dip you...I’m going to protect myself while dancing and politely say “No”
I got one more for you!! The walker!! She walks off cause the guy isn’t “good enough” or ideally a performer, so he doesn’t dance well enough!! Then, she goes and starts teaching at a new studio, and her bio reads “oh, love to help learners, patient with learners, love fun, joyful blah blah blah!”
Sounds like my ex-wife. Actually I have seen over 400 married couples start taking dance lessons together and I have only seen ONE couple last past 4 lessons, the wife uses the same arguments claiming the guy is not trying but the big one I hear from nearly every wife is"why is the teacher so good and you are so bad?!!" maybe because the teacher has been doing this for 15 years I have been doing it for an hour? I even saw it happen with a girl who danced for 4 years and got a boyfriend who was killing himself trying to learn to dance and when they did interntional rumba(which requires competition level of frame to social dance) used exactly that comment, "the teacher is so good and my boyfriend is so terrible." I called her on it, they broke up but 3 months later she couldn't find another partner and they are dancing to gether again.
thats an interesting question. in some ways the rejector might be better. you don't start anything. the walker leaves you hanging, it's really bad, i see it once in a while. actually just saw one last thursday, not sure what went down, but i saw here leave and the guy was left on the floor, i think he was able to get another partner to complete the song.
thats so awkward!!! i've seen a few of those, too. one they always take lessons together and social dance, but they are older more mature, so they're settled. they seem to be beyond the judgmental stuff so they're together. but i've also seen one, they came together and the guy wasn't too much into it, while the girl was. they're not together anymore. and i've seen others. usually, it seems to be the girl who's into it, and the guy is being dragged to the venue. we've all known guys who come and aren't interested, so they seat and watch their girl-friend dance with other guys. i just feel sorry for such a situation. i wouldn't drag my girlfriend or boyfriend to salsa if he's not interested. i'd simply not go or id go alone. id probably just not go. its such a bad situation unfortunately. I've seen a girl who chose to go alone every week cause her husband wasn't interested. a few months later she met one guy and they kept dancing together every week, they'd hand out. now they're having a child together. that was quite interesting. there's probably tons of such stories in dance all over the world!! somewhat unfortunate circumstances.
Another great post! They were all great, but I especially loved the overstyler and overdipper. I’ve had my hair painfully yanked by overzealous salseras. Ouch!:-(
I am huge fan of long hair, but sometimes when you are just leading basic moves, your hand is on their shoulder and it presses the hair between your hand and their back and they turn their head and it pulls. I use a touch lead, but at some point i apply pressure if only for a fraction of a second and unless there is some slack in the hair it can "pull".
Avery Baumann I know exactly what you mean and while that can happen, the tug by my leader is never as painful as the one caused by the woman dancing next to me who doesn't care that there's not a lot of space but still is so intent on doing as many different styling moves as she can before the song finishes. 😂
You also forgot The Friend/The Hugger, a sadly underappreciated species. She runs to hug her friends passing by the dance floor in the middle of the dance, preferably when you just started to lead a complicated move. Oh yeah, she will return with a wonderful smile after the hug (and perhaps some small talk) :D
The 2 Rejection that women should give is the “No Thank you” when you don’t really like to dance with guy. Then the “ Not Right Now” when you’re just taking a break. Because it’s irritating and rude when the women use the Not Rights Now, then dances with someone else, once the guy turns around.
Hahahah most of them are pretty accurate. Good job on the video! It is good to see someone speaks up for salseros As a social dancer whom met his wife on dancing floor, here my humble personal thoughts about each one of the character: Traditionally, The Lead:Men The Follow:Ladies ==> Disagree %100 (1)"Reject": I totally disagree on this. Fellas, ladies are watching you while you are dancing with other women. And they consider "if you are a good lead", "if it is safe to dance with you" etc.. Every follow should pick whoever they wanna dance with. After all, they invest time to come dancing venue, and they have 2-3 hours to enjoy it. I think men should pick their follows too! It is ok to be picky. =>Agree %100 (1)"bored": well if you are giving your lead that face at dancing floor, if dancing is not cheering you up, why the hell you are there. Very annoying! (2)"Overdipper": Gosh! That's the most dangerous one. Random over dips during dancing. One should avoid to prevent back pains after a social dancing night!😁if you were to dance with an overdipper, and you are too polite to leave your follow on dancing floor, please keep bending your knees my friend! Otherwise your back will hurt real bad! (3)"Can't seem shut up": So true. I have 2-3 hours to dance at a dance social. You better wrap it up, so we can dance some! Plus, it is usually difficult to hear each other due to loud music. (4)(5)"Chainsaw""Bumper Cars": Yeah, it is very challenging, dancing with these leads. Leads, please try to keep your movement area very small at dancing floor, also try to keep your steps small too. In that way you will minimize the damage. Try to give feedback to your follow if she is ramdomly hitting other couples with her arms. That might help her realize how dangerous it is. Hope you can see end of the song in one piece!😧😂 =>Neutral/Controversial (1)"Stalker": As long as Lead is focused on dancing and his follow, he should be ok. (2)"the sex bomb": If the lead makes it clear, he doesn't wanna get "touchy" most of the ladies won't gonna persue. Unless, you pick a drunk one 😁 Make sure you don't pick a wasted follow if you are at dancing social for dancing! (3)"the overstyler": I have seen this one among many dancers. If the follow doesn't exaggerate this, and at least she keeps her hands available for lead, most men are totally fine with it. (4)"Wardrobe malfunction": Well, this one is controversial. This can happen to any follow, specially newbies whom hasn't got dancing gears. This is similar to overstyler in terms of dancing. As long as the follow keeps her hands available for lead, it should be ok to dance with.
Ha! Ha! The two videos are so good! I've experienced these 5 types of guys. As for the woman, not really my kind of things... Aawww... Except for the car bumper!! And the chain saw!! :) Oh the overdipper too... :) I try to avoid the wardrobe malfunction. Not at all the rejecter - except with the gropper.
I totally agree with the reject one. I've danced with many girls who I did not want to dance with, but I did anyway because it's the polite thing to do. Dancing is a social activity. If you're at a party and someone comes up and starts talking to you, would you say "No, I don't want to talk to you"? I agree you shouldn't dance with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable, but that's not what this video is portraying.
The problem with the reject, is that she danced the same song with someone else right away in front of the first guy she rejected (at least try to be polite and convincing)
I don't dance salsa, but when I did, same things happaned. Also, it happens in other dances like bachata, kizomba... When some girl refuses, I ask her again only if there is no one else available to dance. But those who refused and danced that song with somebody else but did't tell me they already agreed to dance with someone this song, I never ever ask them again. Not even if no available ones are there. Just some weird principle of mine, I guess... :)
i hear you. its a very very bad culture in latin dancing for some strange reason. i used to do a lot of swing and folk social dancing back in school before i took up salsa, and i had never experienced some of the behavior i sometimes see in salsa or other latin dances. its so bad sometimes. its not many people, but i never saw anybody behave like that in other dance forms. if you go to a contra dance party people are so down to earth and friendly, they don't judge your skills, they are happy to help you. you just dance and sweat. salsa and latin dancing are so different. most people are good, but there's way more nasty people than in other dances in my experience. i wonder why??? it's so unfortunate. i think part of it is that many people who behave this way often do latin dance with little experience of social dancing in any other dance form. so, they misunderstand what social dancing is about. i think it may also be that many people come to latin dance parties with the wrong ideas, motives, or stereotypes of salsa or other dance etc. whatever the explanation, its quite sad and ignorant, and then when they're criticized the classic reason they give is "its my right!!!" that is a big clue about how bad they are!!! we all have many rights that we don't use to hurt others, because we know they would hurt others. i like people who state a good reason plainly, say, i am tired, or something. but even then, i've never seen anybody in swing or contra dancing say "i am tired!!!" and some of those dances can be more physical. contra dancing is quite physical. and these are younger people, they can't be tired!!!!! i know older people who dance all night!!!! there's no way some of these people can be "tired" they're just mean!!! then there's the "my feet hurt" haha!! thats a great one, if anybody ever says that, it just means "i don't really find this party exciting, its boring, i am not in the mood to dance." i think 90% of the excuses are meanness!!! at best 10% maybe less are real!!! a dance lasts 3 or so minutes, there's really no reason to behave that way. its just nasty nasty nasty people. some will even start the dance and then walk away. i think there was one in the video. totally ignorant. its usually women, to be honest, but i have seen men who behave that way, too. one man i saw said no to a lady who doesn't look so attractive, and then went and asked a better looking lady, and the same goes for women, too. they will judge somebody. if the person looks poor or is not very well dressed or doesn't look particularly "modern" etc. they just judge you based on something superficial. usually it is really stupid reasons, and sometimes its just plain badness. and sometimes there can even be a touch of of intolerance of some form involved. its a tough land out there if you're a salsa dancer, especially if you're starting out and especially if you're a guy. the best way to fight it, i found was to work hard, take classes and improve. then, you see the people who used to be mean to you look stupid. sometimes you even find their skills have gotten poor and you remember the times they were mean to you!!! so, don't get discouraged. take classes and if you can, travel and dance in larger cities around the country or world. you'll meet amazing people and you'll realize the people who behave badly are just stupid and a tiny fraction. you'll even find many of the best dancers behave much better than some of these nasty people surprisingly enough!!!! also, if you take classes, you'll make friends to dance with, so you won't have to deal with nasty people!! or the nasty people, if they are in the same classes, they might treat you better after they've met you in a class. i've seen that, too!! generally, the best medicine i found is to get better. then, you have many more dance partners, and when you dance more you learn to "navigate" the dance floor to avoid mean people!!! you can tell sometimes who the difficult ones are and you avoid them!!! also, the mistake guys make is asking mostly the better looking ladies, i see it a lot. guys judge who to dance with by their looks. although i've also met not so good looking women who behave badly, only enough!! i'd suggest throw your net wider, older dancers, etc etc.
Free Wheel I only ever reject people who have very smelly breathe (which I don't suggest you do). I agree that it is a social activity and there shouldn't be any picking of people, although when someone clearly doesn't maintain basic hygene? And I mean both sexes - than it is disgusting.
Merci Ilias pour cette vidéo pleine d’humour !! Ces situations sont tellement vraies, bien que je n’ai jamais fait l’expérience de la Sex Bomb haha ! Au plaisir :)
Wardrobe malfunction was me last night but oh well it’s all about having fun and not many ppl have time to learn salsa dancing they just want to dance and learn and enjoy the night as best they can with the professionals 😂
Yeah.. I'd say The Backleader can be worse than The Reject: The Reject (rejects and jumps up to dance with another guy to the same song 10 sec later) only hurts you for half a minute, till you find the next lady. Backleader hurts you during the entire song. And sometimes BL can be simply unsafe for the guy!
It's when the lady, well, leads back. The guy (the leader) is trying to lead a move, and instead of receiving his signal, processing it and responding to it (as it is supposed to happen), the girl (the follower) starts "helping" the guy by doing the lead for him. Now, the extent of this disaster can vary, from her actively finishing the lead to her actually leading herself into moves while there was no lead at all (the guy is just doing basico, and she tries to do a spot turn, this has happened :-). This attitude (or call it very poor technique, or lack of ability/interest to learn how to follow) is extremely annoying, but sometimes, in the fast dances like salsa, can be plain dangerous for the guy, for the girl, for both, and/or for other couples around. Once you discover that the girl backleads, you will probably do your best to stay away from her in future. Now, I am not talking here about ladies dancing as a leader (with another girl or with a guy who dances as a follow). These are usually upper-level dancers who can dance for both leader and follower. The same goes for guys. Most international instructors can dance almost equally well as leader and follower, and can switch during the dance. When I am talking about backleading, I am talking about typically beginner/improver girls who do not find it interesting (exciting enough) to invest much effort into learning the basics. Backleading, technically, can be fixed over a few private classes, in fact. The issue is aggravated, though, if this is not a technique issue, but an attitude issue.
He didn't put it because he's a good dancer so he doesn't realize how often women will stop dancing to give a dude instructions on how he should have led a move.
1) Counter lead / Reverse Lead. 2) Follows whose facial expression and body language that says “is that all you can do? I’m not impressed” ( this is different from “I’m bored” kind) 3) Ladies who stop in the middle of the dance and say “Thank you” when there’s still 2 minutes to go in the song. 4) Ladies who in the middle of the dance break to say a one minute bye to her leaving buddies.
I’m the one who says “sorry” every 5 seconds
Better than curse words :).
Never say sorry just keep dancing and dont forget to smile :D
nothing to be sorry about you're there to enjoy yourself !!
Haja no, that's me. . .The Apologist.
Same! 😂😂
You forgot the lady leader hahaha. Ladies who likes to lead the man during the dance haha
samir skif I think he forgot the lady teacher, too!! There’s the guy teacher, but believe me the lady teacher may be even worse!
Man, that's me... And when a guy tries to lead I get stiff, idk how to change it :(
@Gloria, just believe in us. leqdeer must communicate to soften you :)
aworldofsalsa awos, haahhahahaThat is even THE WORSE hahaha
samir skif, ahh yeah, the backlead is the worst!
I like how she has to force herself to look bored in the first one but still can't help smiling-
it's impossible to dance salsa and not be happy at the same time! xP
@Clint R you didnt have to say that........ but b you did
I don't knowww, I've encountered a few.

Ok fine I'll shut up when I dance 😂😂😂
Chatting is great, but as with any good conversation, it has to be a two-way, not yapyapyap.
I actually start talking to a guy or a guy starts to talk if we dance a few songs and have a good connection. Why not? It eases the atmosphere :)
The I'm bored one can hurt a brotha's feelings. Especially when you are a beginner.
true
With exp, you get over the bad ones, Adrian ;)
@sam 7 rejected is better than bored as long as they don't accept someone else in like 2 seconds.
Bumper Cars had me cracking up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 These videos are awesome. Lol 😂😂😂😂

Hahaha gold!
My days of once being the sex bomb are so embarrassing to think about now 😂
That was the moment I realized.... I AM the chainsaw 😩😩😂
Tie your hair. Guys will never say this to you face-to-face. No matter how funny chainsaw is represented in this video, I had to go to the eye doctor after a dance with one of them.
Hahaha, yeah, I met woman like that too, but no worries, I find it rather funny... I got used to it after some time :D Not a big deal, really :D
MY Dance teacher is the chainsaw! :D :D
If the chainsaw is the worst thing that happens to me that night, it’s been a pretty good night.

You need to make a video on the worst salsa couples to complete the trilogy. Here's some:
- Big backsteppers
- Couple unaware of surroundings
- Super show offs
- Overly sensual couple
Hilarious :D Though for the "reject" one I politely disagree. We have one salsa club in my city so you know most people's dancing. I used to say yes even to people I know I don't like dancing with (those that always get too close/ smell of alcohol/don't follow the rhythm/etc). It took me a lot of courage to start rejecting them but it's worth it!! Now they don't invite me to dance and parties are more enjoyable.
Thanks for the comment;) i completly are with you on that one... the message is definitly not that people should do that or not... but more to caricature a situation that every beginner man went thru at least once when he started to dance.
Brilliant! Shit happens and you get fat. Guy not keeping the rhythm passes by does not invite you. Party is more enjoyable, for him this time.
I definitely understand and support the reason for rejecting as "I don't like dancing with that person" rather than "I reject often, I'm not obligated to dance with anyone" = "I'm too good for you". But in both cases at least we avoid seeing two people dancing and one looking clearly uncomfortable.
After going to classes and having no choice but to dance with some "I'm bored" ones and also "'Lady leaders", I have lost some love for dancing and so I will always appreciate a time-saving "no" or a quick partner change than a forced "yes". There are a lot of partners to dance around, different levels, attitudes, interests so better to invest on those that match with what each one is looking for.
You were not likely as good of a dancer when you started as you are now, yet people danced with you to let you have fun and to learn. If someone is invading your space, or drunk that is different from not being able to hold the beat. If you won't dance with people who are learning you are not being considerate of others. Everyone has to practice to get better, and people have helped you.
Hi David, I agree with you. I am fine with people who want to learn, they are usually friendly and respectful. What I had in mind was a very particular sort of dancers. They never went to classes, confidently go into fancy moves and spins without a consistent basic step (often switch if they start with their right or left leg and usually go faster than the beat and spin you when you are least ready). They are not trying to learn because their idea of dancing is "followers should follow the leader not the music" (exact words). End of rant.
The Chainsaw should have been called The Whip.
And boy does it hurt when they decide to take a shower and wash their hair just before the salsa party.
Or the ones that sweat a whole lot, which makes it even worse because it's not only stiff from the liquid, but also salty because, well, it's sweat. My eyes get watery just remembering that.
@@marinmarinhola mate.. I had a drop of sweat spun into my mouth just last week
I'm very beginner and i'm unfortunately the chainsaw (i consider to cut my hair now ^^) and I had the wardrobe malfunction once with the skirt turning too much (i learned the lesson now) ... anyway i don't know how your video appeared in my suggestions but i loved it :):):)
Glad you enjoyed it😀
a. I always remember all the girls who danced with me when I was a beginner. I owe them a lot. Thank you. Especially because of the weird 3:1 male:female ratio in Silicon Valley.
b. I always dance with beginners; I remember how it was for me.
c. Rude rejections: I just don't ask again. Sometimes I forget and ask them some other night and then I smack myself. Sometimes I remember in the middle of a dance but keep on dancing ...
d. The most enjoyable dancers I have danced with? Ladies who dance with everyone (creeps excepted obviously). They can range from beginners to experts; their level is not important to me. I have a lot of respect for them because they take the time and effort to help less accomplished dancers and are able to calibrate their dancing appropriately.
e. Flying hair is fine except once it went in my mouth ... it led to a funny chain of events.
Dance floor brings out the type of human you are is what i have found . Really met many ( dont know all their names ) dancing in many countries as a beginner and some women are so nice and amazing and its a pleasure to dance with . Especially in malaysia and some latin americans . Some people on the other hand are obnoxious and i avoid them . I can understand what you wrote very well . I am not an expert dancer but could really dance and enjoy as well as make most of my partners happy .
Once at a salsa conference in San Francisco, my follow-a stranger-had a wardrobe malfunction and one of her “ladies” popped out. She didn’t notice. I went to closed position and told her to her ear what had happened. She just pulled me closer so that my body was covering her and my face was on her shoulder so I couldn’t see anything while she fixed the situation. She thanked me for telling her and we continued dancing.
Youre a pro gentleman!!! This exact situation happened to me during a performance
Ha! Had something similar happen to a follower of mine once. Suddenly both straps that supported the dress on her shoulders were gone, so I stuck to her kizomba like to keep that dress in place and I danced us out of the room so she could take care of it in some dark hidden corner of the place.
Whaaat! I thought the most obvious one was the "Iron arm" 😂 when you try to do a figure but you have to go to the gym to move her arm 🤣
hahaha that's definitely a category.
I was raised dancing salsa as it's part of my culture- I never went to a formal class. I learned to feel the music, know the basic step and follow. I have had a couple of guys who learned from formal classes in the U.S. get really nitpick-y about details of how I was dancing (also shown as the teacher in the other video).
There is no one strict way to dance salsa, so we need to be open minded about other ways people dance. It's so much about just getting in tune with the other person and having fun. P.S. the videos are excellent and hilarious, I just feel strongly about this and reading the comments compelled me to share.
Agreed:) salsa should be a tool to have fun thats it! Thanks for watching
@@bennysum8252 every latinam country and region within each country has their own version.
@@bennysum8252 it does, that’s what I’m saying, you can learn to lead and flow, but these ballroom people often get caught up in the technicality of it. It’s been a bad experience for me and other latinos I know.
@@bennysum8252 oh and don’t forget it was invented by puerto ricans in New York. From there, it has evolved into unique styles in each region.
@@bennysum8252 i hadn’t heard this before, so i quickly looked it up: “Musically, Salsa has its roots firmly based in the Afro-Spanish musical traditions of Cuba but its worldwide popularity should be attributed to the Puerto Ricans of New York.” Sounds like both are historically important.
You enjoyed this video? Here's the MAN version th-cam.com/video/kKddyS3IulM/w-d-xo.html The first online completely bilingual salsa school. All content will be in french and english…All the time;) www.bailasalsaonline.com
Awesome now I'm even more self conscious and nervous about dancing salsa in a social setting 🙃🙃🙃
😔
This is so funny! Thank you so much for these hilarious videos!
And also a drunk woman, and a woman who does not hold hands (weak hands)
You left out the timing correcter. The one who thinks the guy is dancing out of step
I'm guilty, guilty, guilty.
That’s me too! I can’t help it. I try to as polite as possible but if the guy is offbeat I can’t follow or time my own moves well at all.
Lol, yeah.
Oh yeah, very true. I’m a musician and understand timing and have been dancing over 10 years and still I get one of these every once in a while.
Wouldn’t she be the one to know?
My family and I are watching it again . My daughter just did the overstyler and fell down the stairs 🤣😂🤣😂she's ok. We all can't stop laughing . Very funny!
Lol
I consider myself between an intermediate to advanced salsa dancer and I've been stuck with the "bored dancer". Seriously deflates my evening even to point of pissing me off.
I think it's fine to just end the dance before the music stops. Neither of you are enjoying it and it's ok.
There’s often a good reason to reject certain leads. I really don’t like turning a dance down or risking offending anyone but I have said yes to leads who are rough and physically inconsiderate with me and I have been injured in the process, I have known of follows who had to end their dancing career due to these leads. I’m sorry but everyone has a right to say no, it’s their prerogative who they want to dance with. They are few, but some leads can make follows feel just plain uncomfortable-for instance the “creepy comment” leads or the drenched in sweat and body odour leads. Some people are just plain unpleasant to be around and we don’t owe anyone anything beyond common curtesy-and that goes both ways.
Yeah I agree with you - I'm a middle aged man,but I reject any women over 30 - I don't find them attractive to dance with no matter how good they dance! Same goes for fat women.
user7897 congratulations middle aged man, you’re a d-bag.
I thought we were on the same page? Didn't you just state that "everyone has a right to say no" and " we don’t owe anyone anything"? You must be over 30 or fat...or both. As you can see - it does go both ways...and they older you get the more it IT will be going your way!
user7897 you are entitled to say no for any reason, your reasoning make you a nasty person, and someone most would prefer to avoid, likely of any age or size if they knew your thinking. I’m sure many have picked up on your creepy attitude, but you go ahead do you bud, I could not care less 😉
It's good you don't care...When men reject you women, they suddenly become a nasty person,a creep...and I didn't want to dance with him anyway...hahah! Oh yeah, I forgot - only you entitled to have an opinion and preference!
I absolutely LOVE this one too! Just as fun (and real!!) as the man version! Thank you!
Awesome! I hope you do another one that includes elbows of doom. I've seen less elbows thrown in a UFC match.
Confession: I used to be the over styler 😂 until I realized it wasn’t helping me follow well.
Very annoying to dance with. More is less
@@mrcolemore5831I feel like the male version of this is portrayed it as "rockstar" in the other video.
Great couple. Hilarious. Great enactment. They are naturals i laughed all the way thru.. i think i got a little of each if you catch me at the right time 😜 lol.
We r all guilty of at least one of them;)
Where I can find that salsa track. Amazing video btw. It's so nice made
Please, can anyone tell me what MUSIC is in this video?
I can't find it anywhere!
There was a man who would harass me at a weekly dance social with invitations dance after dance and be very persistent even after I told him I do not wish to dance exclusively with one person the whole night. He even trying to follow me on my commute home one time. One day I finally got the courage to tell him outright that I would not be dancing with him and the next guy that asked me to dance told me he saw me reject the first guy and that it was rude. HE KNEW NOTHING OF HOW HE WAS HARASSING ME FOR WEEKS! Needless to say I did not return to that place after that.
Its definitly not rude to say no to a guy... especially in your situation... this clip is a caricature of a situation most guys went thru. its a beginners man’s shocker... its not so much the No but the way it happens...thanks for sharing your thoughts;)
Haha, you are right. Yeah, my heart does go out to all the guys that get a "no" simply because they are beginners or not on the same level. We all start somewhere and need practice to work our way up~
Some women are uncomfortable with social situations: A girl was taking group classes, 2 hours a night 5 days a week, was going to socials once a week for about 2 months. She was reasonably friendly, not dating anyone, then one day a guy asked her out, it was the only class he came to, he was not a regular. she disappeared and I bumped into her at a club a year later, said she felt so uncomfortable refusing him she stopped coming to class for fear of having to face him again. I told her he never came to class again either for fear of having to face a girl that turned him down, he wasn't obnoxious or a freak, sometimes you ask thinking you may never see the person again and don't want to miss your chance.
Grey Sweet Potato I understaned you...
Is women like you that shouldn’t be part of the dance community. Because I myself never turn down women to dance even if they really suck. I tried my best to help them but if that man was stalking you and he would harass you then that’s a different story. But I hated how when I was a beginner and trying to get better some women would reject me the next week or party. How in the hell am I supposed to get better if that kept happening.?
The guy looks so happy the whole time! I love him!
Guys, you made me laugh so hard. The facial expressions, the gestures, sooooo gud. Saw the first part was not disappointed, came here for more, ended up laughing on the ground. Thank you
What is the name of this salsa song? Como se llama esta canción?
you forgot the girls who sweat allot and don't hold up there hair and shower everyone on the dance floor aka the lawn sprinkler and the one that come to dance from work with out showering and smell horrible we call them las sorrillitas or the little skunks.
It seems we need to do another vid;)
Of course everyone should shower, deodorant, tooth scrub, and everything to be clean if they are going to be dancing with various people. I brought a clean shirt to change into for the dance class, because I was out running around a few hours right before. I can't help being sweaty 30 mins into the class, but at least I don't stink.
Super cool! This reminds me to the girl yesterday: she really had this overstyling behavior.
Finally it was the easiest way to dance together if I introduce a turn and wait for the next 5 minutes until she ended her style and then initiate the next basic dance move...wait another 5 minutes...
Lol
Again, hilarious, accurate and well done!
This is awesome! I have never laughed so much! And you dance very well guys!
I find him sooo funny!!! Had to pause, coz of sore tummy laughing so much!!!
Ambriel Apps he is hilarious !!!
HAHAHAHA! This has gotta be the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Everything was so accurate! The reject was soooo funny!
Cheers Marco;)
I agree with all except “The Rejector”. I generally dance with anyone who asks but if he’s a Creeper on the dance floor (staring into your soul, every move is sexy, smells your hair when dance) or he’s off balance/offbeat/doesn’t know how to support you while trying to dip you...I’m going to protect myself while dancing and politely say “No”
For sure u say no! The rejector was more a caricature of ladies that dance with rockstars only;)
Omg this is helpful! I will be on my best behavior next week when I go dancing. 🤣❤️
They make it look easy. Antics without losing a beat! LOL
Favor alguien puede decirme el nombre de la cancion
video simply perfect, even in Italy the same thing in dance clubs
I got one more for you!! The walker!! She walks off cause the guy isn’t “good enough” or ideally a performer, so he doesn’t dance well enough!! Then, she goes and starts teaching at a new studio, and her bio reads “oh, love to help learners, patient with learners, love fun, joyful blah blah blah!”
Which is worse, the Walker or the Rejctor? lol
Sounds like my ex-wife. Actually I have seen over 400 married couples start taking dance lessons together and I have only seen ONE couple last past 4 lessons, the wife uses the same arguments claiming the guy is not trying but the big one I hear from nearly every wife is"why is the teacher so good and you are so bad?!!" maybe because the teacher has been doing this for 15 years I have been doing it for an hour? I even saw it happen with a girl who danced for 4 years and got a boyfriend who was killing himself trying to learn to dance and when they did interntional rumba(which requires competition level of frame to social dance) used exactly that comment, "the teacher is so good and my boyfriend is so terrible." I called her on it, they broke up but 3 months later she couldn't find another partner and they are dancing to gether again.
thats an interesting question. in some ways the rejector might be better. you don't start anything. the walker leaves you hanging, it's really bad, i see it once in a while. actually just saw one last thursday, not sure what went down, but i saw here leave and the guy was left on the floor, i think he was able to get another partner to complete the song.
thats so awkward!!! i've seen a few of those, too. one they always take lessons together and social dance, but they are older more mature, so they're settled. they seem to be beyond the judgmental stuff so they're together. but i've also seen one, they came together and the guy wasn't too much into it, while the girl was. they're not together anymore. and i've seen others. usually, it seems to be the girl who's into it, and the guy is being dragged to the venue. we've all known guys who come and aren't interested, so they seat and watch their girl-friend dance with other guys. i just feel sorry for such a situation. i wouldn't drag my girlfriend or boyfriend to salsa if he's not interested. i'd simply not go or id go alone. id probably just not go. its such a bad situation unfortunately. I've seen a girl who chose to go alone every week cause her husband wasn't interested. a few months later she met one guy and they kept dancing together every week, they'd hand out. now they're having a child together. that was quite interesting. there's probably tons of such stories in dance all over the world!! somewhat unfortunate circumstances.
who hurt you?
Vraiment bien joué , j'ai tellement ri !! :-)
Merci Carolyne
can you tell me the name of the song? shazam and soundhound can't seem to find it. ;-(
Omg I love it! You guys are hilarious! So true !!! Thank you for making this vid lol
Que buen video me gusto mucho y muy linda la bailarina alguno sabe cual es el nombre de la canción ??
This is good. But the man version is 100% more funny!!
Another great post! They were all great, but I especially loved the overstyler and overdipper. I’ve had my hair painfully yanked by overzealous salseras. Ouch!:-(
I am huge fan of long hair, but sometimes when you are just leading basic moves, your hand is on their shoulder and it presses the hair between your hand and their back and they turn their head and it pulls. I use a touch lead, but at some point i apply pressure if only for a fraction of a second and unless there is some slack in the hair it can "pull".
Avery Baumann I know exactly what you mean and while that can happen, the tug by my leader is never as painful as the one caused by the woman dancing next to me who doesn't care that there's not a lot of space but still is so intent on doing as many different styling moves as she can before the song finishes. 😂
You also forgot The Friend/The Hugger, a sadly underappreciated species. She runs to hug her friends passing by the dance floor in the middle of the dance, preferably when you just started to lead a complicated move. Oh yeah, she will return with a wonderful smile after the hug (and perhaps some small talk) :D
Yeah, never dancing with her again. Girls complain when guys are looking at other girls around the room while they're dancing, but this is WAY worse.
Best vids! Fu, funny, smart. And some good lessons thrown in.
Tx
Song name ?
OMG I can’t stop laughing at the bumper cars one. LMAO
Zthat was hilarious! Both played that very welllll. 🤓
Cheers
I'm barely learning to social dance, so thank you for the heads up!
I honestly feel bad when people ask me to dance and all they get is a struggling beginner
I'm a horrible dancer so that's what I need in a partner.
😂😂😂😂I've definitely been several of those, hahahaha
Hola alguien sabe cómo se llama la canción de fondo ?
You definitively forgot the "Handbag"
I can't leave the purse a foot(30 cm) away from me, it's gonna get stolen in a second 😂
If a chick brings her bag out to the dance floor, I literally leave her on the floor.
The last one, that was really a nice shirt, man!
Can anyone tell me name of the song? I love it
Wish I lived near this studio it looks like FUN! :-)
You both are totally adorable :D. And you (the gent) can make a perfect "Mr.Bean" impression when making faces or trying to exaggerate movements.
Thanks for the kind comment;)
The 2 Rejection that women should give is the “No Thank you” when you don’t really like to dance with guy. Then the “ Not Right Now” when you’re just taking a break. Because it’s irritating and rude when the women use the Not Rights Now, then dances with someone else, once the guy turns around.
Bumper cars 😂😂😂😂 just killed me 😅😅
This is so absolutely spot on perfect!!!!
And imo - the master villain in this lineup is the reject
That man, that just ..... damn!
I call bumper cars "combat dancing" because that elbow seem like she learned it in MUYTHAI more so then salsa! hahah
That was hilarious 😊.
The stalker was scary 😮.
Hahahah most of them are pretty accurate. Good job on the video! It is good to see someone speaks up for salseros
As a social dancer whom met his wife on dancing floor, here my humble personal thoughts about each one of the character:
Traditionally, The Lead:Men The Follow:Ladies
==> Disagree %100
(1)"Reject": I totally disagree on this. Fellas, ladies are watching you while you are dancing with other women. And they consider "if you are a good lead", "if it is safe to dance with you" etc.. Every follow should pick whoever they wanna dance with. After all, they invest time to come dancing venue, and they have 2-3 hours to enjoy it. I think men should pick their follows too! It is ok to be picky.
=>Agree %100
(1)"bored": well if you are giving your lead that face at dancing floor, if dancing is not cheering you up, why the hell you are there. Very annoying!
(2)"Overdipper": Gosh! That's the most dangerous one. Random over dips during dancing. One should avoid to prevent back pains after a social dancing night!😁if you were to dance with an overdipper, and you are too polite to leave your follow on dancing floor, please keep bending your knees my friend! Otherwise your back will hurt real bad!
(3)"Can't seem shut up": So true. I have 2-3 hours to dance at a dance social. You better wrap it up, so we can dance some! Plus, it is usually difficult to hear each other due to loud music.
(4)(5)"Chainsaw""Bumper Cars": Yeah, it is very challenging, dancing with these leads. Leads, please try to keep your movement area very small at dancing floor, also try to keep your steps small too. In that way you will minimize the damage. Try to give feedback to your follow if she is ramdomly hitting other couples with her arms. That might help her realize how dangerous it is. Hope you can see end of the song in one piece!😧😂
=>Neutral/Controversial
(1)"Stalker": As long as Lead is focused on dancing and his follow, he should be ok.
(2)"the sex bomb": If the lead makes it clear, he doesn't wanna get "touchy" most of the ladies won't gonna persue. Unless, you pick a drunk one 😁 Make sure you don't pick a wasted follow if you are at dancing social for dancing!
(3)"the overstyler": I have seen this one among many dancers. If the follow doesn't exaggerate this, and at least she keeps her hands available for lead, most men are totally fine with it.
(4)"Wardrobe malfunction": Well, this one is controversial. This can happen to any follow, specially newbies whom hasn't got dancing gears. This is similar to overstyler in terms of dancing. As long as the follow keeps her hands available for lead, it should be ok to dance with.
When did rolando villazon started salsa??
Right on the spot! Awesome job as man’s version!
Por favor una versión en Español, con subtitulado.
You guys are awesome, i love your faces!!
Haha! The overstyler is really funny!
Nothing wrong with rejection. Sometimes you don't got the sauce
How should we deal with bored and reject ones?
Very simple: You dont dance with them again;)
AWESOME video...on POINT! Like it! hahahaha
I love your shoes, what are those?
Love it! :) The wardrobe malfunction is especially bad when dancing bachata ^^
Ha! Ha! The two videos are so good! I've experienced these 5 types of guys. As for the woman, not really my kind of things... Aawww... Except for the car bumper!! And the chain saw!! :) Oh the overdipper too... :) I try to avoid the wardrobe malfunction. Not at all the rejecter - except with the gropper.
I am definitely the wardrobe malfunction😭! Any recommendations on dresses for salsa that actually look good but don’t ride up would be amazing
Jajajajaj Tus videos son bravasos! Saludos desde Perú🇵🇪
I've always wondered about the "I'm Bored" type. I see it all the time.
Mostly they are just distracted. They are living inside their head and forget that they are dancing with another human being.
Very funny, 😂😂😂
Bumper cars 😂😂😂
I totally agree with the reject one. I've danced with many girls who I did not want to dance with, but I did anyway because it's the polite thing to do.
Dancing is a social activity. If you're at a party and someone comes up and starts talking to you, would you say "No, I don't want to talk to you"?
I agree you shouldn't dance with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable, but that's not what this video is portraying.
The problem with the reject, is that she danced the same song with someone else right away in front of the first guy she rejected (at least try to be polite and convincing)
i've seen that a few times. i never ask such women to dance, in solidarity with the guy they mistreated!!!
I don't dance salsa, but when I did, same things happaned. Also, it happens in other dances like bachata, kizomba...
When some girl refuses, I ask her again only if there is no one else available to dance. But those who refused and danced that song with somebody else but did't tell me they already agreed to dance with someone this song, I never ever ask them again. Not even if no available ones are there. Just some weird principle of mine, I guess... :)
i hear you. its a very very bad culture in latin dancing for some strange reason. i used to do a lot of swing and folk social dancing back in school before i took up salsa, and i had never experienced some of the behavior i sometimes see in salsa or other latin dances. its so bad sometimes. its not many people, but i never saw anybody behave like that in other dance forms. if you go to a contra dance party people are so down to earth and friendly, they don't judge your skills, they are happy to help you. you just dance and sweat. salsa and latin dancing are so different. most people are good, but there's way more nasty people than in other dances in my experience. i wonder why??? it's so unfortunate. i think part of it is that many people who behave this way often do latin dance with little experience of social dancing in any other dance form. so, they misunderstand what social dancing is about. i think it may also be that many people come to latin dance parties with the wrong ideas, motives, or stereotypes of salsa or other dance etc. whatever the explanation, its quite sad and ignorant, and then when they're criticized the classic reason they give is "its my right!!!" that is a big clue about how bad they are!!! we all have many rights that we don't use to hurt others, because we know they would hurt others. i like people who state a good reason plainly, say, i am tired, or something. but even then, i've never seen anybody in swing or contra dancing say "i am tired!!!" and some of those dances can be more physical. contra dancing is quite physical. and these are younger people, they can't be tired!!!!! i know older people who dance all night!!!! there's no way some of these people can be "tired" they're just mean!!! then there's the "my feet hurt" haha!! thats a great one, if anybody ever says that, it just means "i don't really find this party exciting, its boring, i am not in the mood to dance." i think 90% of the excuses are meanness!!! at best 10% maybe less are real!!! a dance lasts 3 or so minutes, there's really no reason to behave that way. its just nasty nasty nasty people. some will even start the dance and then walk away. i think there was one in the video. totally ignorant. its usually women, to be honest, but i have seen men who behave that way, too. one man i saw said no to a lady who doesn't look so attractive, and then went and asked a better looking lady, and the same goes for women, too. they will judge somebody. if the person looks poor or is not very well dressed or doesn't look particularly "modern" etc. they just judge you based on something superficial. usually it is really stupid reasons, and sometimes its just plain badness. and sometimes there can even be a touch of of intolerance of some form involved. its a tough land out there if you're a salsa dancer, especially if you're starting out and especially if you're a guy. the best way to fight it, i found was to work hard, take classes and improve. then, you see the people who used to be mean to you look stupid. sometimes you even find their skills have gotten poor and you remember the times they were mean to you!!! so, don't get discouraged. take classes and if you can, travel and dance in larger cities around the country or world. you'll meet amazing people and you'll realize the people who behave badly are just stupid and a tiny fraction. you'll even find many of the best dancers behave much better than some of these nasty people surprisingly enough!!!! also, if you take classes, you'll make friends to dance with, so you won't have to deal with nasty people!! or the nasty people, if they are in the same classes, they might treat you better after they've met you in a class. i've seen that, too!! generally, the best medicine i found is to get better. then, you have many more dance partners, and when you dance more you learn to "navigate" the dance floor to avoid mean people!!! you can tell sometimes who the difficult ones are and you avoid them!!! also, the mistake guys make is asking mostly the better looking ladies, i see it a lot. guys judge who to dance with by their looks. although i've also met not so good looking women who behave badly, only enough!! i'd suggest throw your net wider, older dancers, etc etc.
Free Wheel I only ever reject people who have very smelly breathe (which I don't suggest you do). I agree that it is a social activity and there shouldn't be any picking of people, although when someone clearly doesn't maintain basic hygene? And I mean both sexes - than it is disgusting.
OMG I am the wardrobe malfunction. Every single time!
Hilarious! Great video
Trop drôle🤣, mais tellement vrai
I love the chainsaw.
Espacially when doing multiple spinning turns.
😅😅😅
Take no prisoners
What makes this soo hilarious is how true its, both for this video and the one for men. You forgot the backleader, and the female teacher
Thanks for the comment... if we do another one well use your suggestions;)
Merci Ilias pour cette vidéo pleine d’humour !! Ces situations sont tellement vraies, bien que je n’ai jamais fait l’expérience de la Sex Bomb haha ! Au plaisir :)
Merci pour ce commentaire;) la sex bomb est a quelque part dans cette jungle qu’est la salsa... un jour tu la croisera lol
Wardrobe malfunction was me last night but oh well it’s all about having fun and not many ppl have time to learn salsa dancing they just want to dance and learn and enjoy the night as best they can with the professionals 😂
ajajaja
Spot on, pal ! But you forgot The Teacher and The Master of Backleading! :D
The teacher is in our man version;) forgot about the back leading... that means we need to do another vid;)
Yeah.. I'd say The Backleader can be worse than The Reject: The Reject (rejects and jumps up to dance with another guy to the same song 10 sec later) only hurts you for half a minute, till you find the next lady. Backleader hurts you during the entire song. And sometimes BL can be simply unsafe for the guy!
whats backleading?
It's when the lady, well, leads back. The guy (the leader) is trying to lead a move, and instead of receiving his signal, processing it and responding to it (as it is supposed to happen), the girl (the follower) starts "helping" the guy by doing the lead for him. Now, the extent of this disaster can vary, from her actively finishing the lead to her actually leading herself into moves while there was no lead at all (the guy is just doing basico, and she tries to do a spot turn, this has happened :-). This attitude (or call it very poor technique, or lack of ability/interest to learn how to follow) is extremely annoying, but sometimes, in the fast dances like salsa, can be plain dangerous for the guy, for the girl, for both, and/or for other couples around. Once you discover that the girl backleads, you will probably do your best to stay away from her in future.
Now, I am not talking here about ladies dancing as a leader (with another girl or with a guy who dances as a follow). These are usually upper-level dancers who can dance for both leader and follower. The same goes for guys. Most international instructors can dance almost equally well as leader and follower, and can switch during the dance. When I am talking about backleading, I am talking about typically beginner/improver girls who do not find it interesting (exciting enough) to invest much effort into learning the basics. Backleading, technically, can be fixed over a few private classes, in fact. The issue is aggravated, though, if this is not a technique issue, but an attitude issue.
He didn't put it because he's a good dancer so he doesn't realize how often women will stop dancing to give a dude instructions on how he should have led a move.
School flashbacks all over again!!
1) Counter lead / Reverse Lead.
2) Follows whose facial expression and body language that says “is that all you can do? I’m not impressed” ( this is different from “I’m bored” kind)
3) Ladies who stop in the middle of the dance and say “Thank you” when there’s still 2 minutes to go in the song.
4) Ladies who in the middle of the dance break to say a one minute bye to her leaving buddies.
