This is the most comprehensive video I've found about connecting on the dance floor. You cover so much: hands, centre, taking responsibility for your own role, eyes, smile, emotion. Really, very useful for a beginner. Some of these things I wouldn't even know to ask a teacher about and would just blunder through it otherwise.
So much truth in this video. You are so right in positivity. Smiling to show appreciation that somebody is dancing with you, especially when you are both feeling the music, leads to spread of positivity when you return to your friends after the dance. And that is one of the reasons I love dancing so much
Yes Rasa - Great tips; without connection & feeling I simply struggle to dance or think of moves & yet with that connection I don't need to think because I'm IN the dance & the dance flows. Playfulness is the best part for sure.
Great tips! When I find a connection the dance becomes almost meditative for me. It's one of the reasons why I really enjoy partner dancing: fully entering the present moment.
Hi Rasa, I am new to your channel and to salsa dancing! I went to my first social this past weekend and these tips are so helpful, I love your content and your sense of humor. Thank you for sharing your valuable insights and techniques with us!
Thank you for posting - so true! Essential between-the-lines stuff for a positive dance experience. And no, it's not too much to ask for some genuine human connection, for the duration of one song only! 😊 If it's too scary, you are free to escape immediately afterwards 😅
Fantastic Rasa, this is perfect especially following the last video telling me how to try and relax more whilst dancing/practice dancing. Thanks again, x
Great tips something I'm working on with my partner! I noticed myself I do listen to follower naturally finding playful middle ground! Easier to do with experience dancer and of course on both sides. I've always been truthful natural light leader , in the beginning I took ballroom lol,🇮🇪🇨🇦
Thank you Rasa. What are your thoughts on when some leaders in salsa lead with holding wrists and tend to do so through majority of the dance. Do they improve their control this way and does this indicate flaws in my following? It doesn't really feel nice, kind of restricting really. (I am at improvers level)
Leading with the wrist is common especially in bachata but also salsa. It def should not be done threw majority of the dance! If this happens to you with most guys maybe the connection in your fingertips is too weak, but if it happens only with few guys, then there might be smth up with them 😅

Thank you , that one of the things I get excited about the most on this channel. Many people teach moves, I like teaching beyond that too 🤩

Exactly, dance is suppose to be all about positive energy 😊

Same with me. If i have connection in the dance everything happens more natural, without it so much extra work i have to do to make the dance ok 🙈
Thanks for explaining the tension part !! Xx
Common thing between people, thought its important to know the difference 😊
Great video
Thank you 💕
Exactly. I don’t but was worried that looking into someone’s eyes ( not staring) was the right thing to do. 😀
Eye contact is I always the right thing 😉

I agree completely 😊

Thank you Sara and welcome to the Channel 🤩. We have a lot of fun here, everybody's very friendly so I hope you enjoy and learn 😇.

Exactly 😅😅😅😅
Really helpful. Only asked my teacher the other day whether to look in someone’s eyes or not.
And what did the teacher say?
Dance with Rasa do as I normally do and connect with your partner and not look away as if your bored.
People need to think of how it would make them feel if somebody would look bored dancing with them 😉
Fantastic Rasa, this is perfect especially following the last video telling me how to try and relax more whilst dancing/practice dancing. Thanks again, x
Im so glad you find my videos useful 😉

I've always been truthful natural light leader , in the beginning I took ballroom lol,🇮🇪🇨🇦
Its helpful to have previous experience in ballroom😉 😊
Yes!!
@@DanceWithRasa l did lose on the light lead u talk about! Ballroom too structural Compared to Bachata salsa?
Well bachata and salsa is based mostly on following and street dancing so its def different then ballroom
Goes back to balance listening act between partners. My job her job,.. your other video got it,
I'll keep watching. Thank you
Useful video, as always, thank you! It would be interesting to see your dance-morning routine
That can be done 😉
10/10

!Gracias! How can I find a connection with the TH-cam algorithm?
Now thats a different subject that is out of my qualifications 😅
@@DanceWithRasa Yes, that's probably what the algorithm thinks about my channel!
🙈😅
