Shines vs. Partnerwork
I recently had a student tell me, “I don’t really see the point of doing shines. I just want to learn partnerwork—it's not like I’ll actually use shines when I’m social dancing, so why bother?” I have plenty of thoughts on this, but I’d love to hear yours first. Do you enjoy shines, partnerwork, or both? And do you think shines are important to practice? Let's discuss 🎙️💭

@Peiwei Cobo That means so much coming from you! 🫶🏼 thank you! I’d love for us all to share our journeys over food or something. Dance conveniently appeared in my life when it was almost completely empty, so it easily just took over. Having a curious and investigative mind helps a lot too 😊

@Linda Flores I’ve found that dividing up the combos we get thrown into mini bite-size elements helps me retain the moves. Like if there’s a combo with a Suzy q, flares, styled right turn, spiral, etc… after the class, I’ll try to drill the same shine combo but with a basic between each move that way I learn how to get in and out of that, then I can take what I like and leave what I don’t. Hope that helps 😊 you’re in the best hands now with Peiwei!

The Unspoken Rule at Social 🤐
Your facial & body language says A LOT, sometimes more than your words! Have you ever had someone tell you at a social, “You look upset — you should smile more”? Or danced with someone who never made eye contact, never smiled, and left you feeling a little thrown off? Or maybe you were simply tired, said no to a dance, and later found out they thought you were upset with them — or worse, that you were being arrogant? I’m curious — what has your experience been ☕️👂Fear not, your secret is safe with all of us...

I am so visibly expressive to a fault sometimes 😭 like if a lead throws me a new move that I didn’t know I could do, my face looks so shocked or giggly 😂. And if I’m running out of breath, I look like I’m not having a good time when in fact I enjoy pushing past my limits! I try to avoid any misunderstanding in socials by 1. defaulting to a soft smile, and 2. letting the lead know as soon as they ask me to dance whether I’m up for it or if I feel the need to rest or drink water. It happened to me two weeks ago in a social, a lead asked me as I was bolting for my water bottle after 4 fast songs in a row. I told him with a smile 😬 “I reeeally need to drink some water and breathe” and he stayed, waited for me to drink, then we were able to have a nice dance without faking any smiles.
