Yesterday was my yearly Latin Competition with the
studio that I take my lessons 2 hours a week with.
I was comfortable going in, and was doing this for my partner,
since I've done this 4 times before and this was her 1st time.
Dances were Mambo, Merengue, Cha Cha, and Jive.
We started off with Mambo, and I was actually pretty nervous, I didn't think I
would be, but it made me lose focus and miss some steps, so I had to restart.
Merengue went a lot better, as I was on beat and it just flowed better.
Cha Cha, wasn't that great and the slippery floor didn't help.
I was pretty stiff from the video replay, when I watched myself.
In Jive, it was better, but could've been done better with my technique.
The other couple was just better, so I was really glad for them, as they deserved it.
I know that I mainly talk about liking Latin Dancing, I do really enjoy
it, but I don't look to be the best, I just try my best and enjoy it.
I'm good at remembering the steps, but it doesn't translate sometimes
to my technique, as If I took some private lessons to improve that
aspect, but I've never had any consistent partners to do this with.
It wouldn't be worth it to spend money with someone that
wasn't going to be there the next time we started up again.
P.S. I learned that, I help out others more, than
try to improve myself, and I'm fine with that.
I'm just there try to show them how much fun they can have.
If I can make friends out of this, It's worth it in the end.
