I Will Follow You - Real Close

Its great to dance with some one who follows well and yet keeping it in control and timing without switching on the AUTOPILOT or DESPERATE MODE.

AUTOPILOT MODE
You'll find yourself about to lead a move which look familiar to her, before you know it, she gone, did it, finito, she has just lead herself . This is true is many moves like Cross Body Lead, The dreaded Self Dip, Turns.

DESPERATE MODE
Sometimes when you dance with the ladies, you'll find some of them really eager to grab your hands, hold your shoulders, or any parts of your body or follow too closely. I wonder why?

Well at times its good to just wait for a lead and keep a good space between the two of you to comfortably express your dance movements. When you violate each other's space or each other, one should expect some extra body contact. This is what happens when you ladies follow too close :


SMACK ! right behing my car.

Yes, thats my humble ride, recently got smack by ladies. On my way to work I heard a loud 'bang' and before I can process the sound, a second 'bang' came, this time my body was thrown forward with a light whipped lashed. Its was a 3 car accident where 2 lovely ladies ( Doctor & Professor ) came out stunned.

So if you don't want any parts of your body to look like the above pic, its really good to concentrate and focus on each while dancing, or you'll might get SMACKED.

note : Salsa Dancing is not a dangerous sport. its, FUN

MAMBO KING & QUEEN 2008

Presenting Mambo King & Mambo Queen 2008. James Quah with a whopping 1066 votes and I-mae with 264 votes. You picked them and you made an effort to cast your votes. We hope to do a small crowning ceremony soon. Keep a look out for the Venue and dates. Come and celebrate this day with them and other friends. The King and Queen will be allowed to do what ever he/she feel like during that day, but we believe a first dance to begin with would be appropriate. What do you think?

This project was intended to get people connected. The list of nominees will keep increasing to allow those to remember you by putting a name to a face or vice versa.
