s**********l 发帖数: 629 | 1 Ever since my right foot got injuried, I haven't been dancing. Not socially,
competitive or in any lessons. It has been 1 month and a half now. =(
Somehow, I didn't miss dancing as I did last year when I had to quit for a
week due to partner and teacher both on vacation. I almost "died" in that one
week period, yet, no dancing for 1.5 months now doesn't seem that bad......
I wonder what's wrong with me......my foot is still injuried, but I still
decided to take a lesson in American Smooth last n | w***5 发帖数: 8282 | 2 This is interesting:
.... but I still think
tat only those who can't dance standard does smooth, and same goes with latin
and rhythm......
I like smooth for another reason, because I don't want to wear tailsuit. Hehe. | c*******l 发帖数: 4801 | 3 this is how i feel:
i feel latin/standard is a heart commitment for dancing. yes, after being in
latin/standard for 2 years, i think myself has a soul related to "dance", i
have "the right" to seriously comment on dance, not only its fun, also its
trend, its inherent featurs, its impact, etc etc, all this come naturally from
the strict techniques/strict spirit and feelings of art, etc etc, if someone
says "dance is just one way guys try to meet girls and maybe more, like
touching them", i would

| c*******l 发帖数: 4801 | 6 competition is more like a way to improve your spirit, but not the purpose of
building this spirit
you extreme goal of dance doesnot have to be competitions. :)
I feel great if i go to competitions, i also feel great i don't and just
listen to dance music and do some turns everyday and even further enjoying
some natural feelings or sth like that. as long as i know all these good
things come from dance :)

| i**u 发帖数: 213 | 7 I never tried smooth/rhythm, so I can't comment on that.
The rest part, about heart commitment thing, is probably right.
Cause it brings you such sweet sorrow and pain, which is lovelike feeling.
But still, it is difficult to differentiate like and love. Different people
interpret them differently. And sometimes people are not clear on their
interpretations themselves.

| d********e 发帖数: 419 | 10 smooth has it's own technique and attractions; it's increasingly competitive
and has started to have a following outside of the midwest. if you happen to
have a good smooth teacher and you enjoy doing it, it sounds all good news to
me. it will also help your standard in the long run. what to worry? do what
you feel like doing. | | | a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 11 Did smooth start from the midwest? Interesting. I just feel smooth has more
freedom in movement - you don't have all the classical techniques to abide by.
It is still fun.

said there is more freedom - there's combination of two sets of technique. I
realize that i enjoy smooth unconsciously because i like to combine different
styles, especially when spontaneously inspired by some music with possibly
mixed styles.

| s**********l 发帖数: 629 | 15 Yes, it is. I never had a problem dancing open reverse turns or open natural
turns in waltz. Not that mine is anywhere near being perfect, but there just
isn't anything major problem or discomfort. But now that I have to dance them
in a side by side shadow position, it just feels awkwardly weird......
And, it becomes SO obvious when I am not swinging/swaying my hip properly, caz
we are in shadow position......plus, I have to keep my balance 100% all the
time, otherwise, I will be screwed due to | c*******l 发帖数: 4801 | 16 this is how i feel:
