Virabhadrasana III
I can't hold this pose for more than 3 seconds rooted on my right foot but I can hold it for 2 minutes or more rooted on my left. And, in a rinse-and-repeat of old news, I am still super-clumsy in the intermediate salsa…

Breakdancing
I finally went to my first breakdancing (not equivalent to hip hop) class taught by Shane "Depree" Fry yesterday at Verve Studio. http://vervedancestudio.com/classes/ It was an overview class and we learnt a couple "top…

Pa Pa (Du Du) Pa Pa Pa*(Du Du)
I am going to try and learn the moonwalk and how to spot the salsa rhythm this week. Quite strangely, they are very similar in nature though completely different on the surface. The prominent effect of each is just a fa…

They are irresistible!
I stomped into class all ready to walk out after the beginner's class but could NOT pull myself away from the oh-so-cool steps that Sean and Sarah were teaching the intermediate class. Energy-beam Mariposa made it 5x mo…

Sin clave no hay son
I went to Hip Hop Yoga at Hand to Heart Yoga with Erin today. It was a very interesting experience and not at all what I thought it might be. By yoga standards, it was a very intense and very aerobic one hour. I don't k…

Salsa for the Soles
I came home to these strangely attractive eccentric-looking extremely light shoes today. Their passing resemblance to football shoes is deceptive. Instead of the turf-gripping evil field spikes, the soles of this pair o…

The Reverse-Kafka
How exactly do I transform from this... v=B0UsNT3diRQ to this... v=uxZLPWYgCU8 I currently have ZERO skills at isolating body-sections and then moving them in staggered-cohesion. Add to that stick-like everything and yo…

I really do take salsa lessons.
Some of the first things people say when I tell them I am taking salsa lessons is: "Really? I somehow can't visualize you doing salsa." (Silent me: No one asked you to visualize anything!) "Really? you wear a dress and …

Push-Pull-Push
I stayed on for both the beginner and the intermediate salsa-for-the-soul classes today. Only, it didn't turn out quite as smooth on my soles. And I mean that in a very literal sense. I was a whole 15 minutes late for t…

Salsa Salsa Salsa
My classes start once more this new year and I have missed them so much! I have a rather ambitious new year resolution of getting really good at Salsa. Well... not as good as this pair... but you know what they say. If …

Who would I rather be?!
v=2azu4Oh_tOM I do look a lot like that man on the right. In fact I know how to do that exact trick with the office chair. Learning to swirl-walk with my hands seems like a tall order.

Scientific Salsa
Cue music! The dance is a fascinating study in body dynamics. Quoting Joanna Bosse, who conducted ethnographic research into Salsa... One of the most difficult aspects of salsa dance to convey to newcomers is the distin…

Spin baby Spin!
I had trouble spinning this past class. I always landed a bit to my right when I completed the spins... and got a bit dizzy. I guess I need to practise something called "spotting". It is described in detail at this http…

Teach me how to Dougie
The NYC edition. v=0yD6GMrovu8 You have to appreciate how popularly arcane urban art can be! haha ---- PS: I saw this video first in my salsa class. My dance teachers were fascinated by the new moves. I was fascinated w…

Salsa for the Soul
Cue music! I godzilla-stomped through Sarah and Sean's basic dance moves and yet, they made me feel as if I was their best dancer on the floor. They are probably the most amazing pair of teachers I have ever met. At som…

UB Dance this weekend
Does anyone know about the program at UB this weekend? I'm not familiar with any of the dancers.
